223 mags

[Sparky]

I was wondering if anyone has any advice on mag brand. Anyone have advice about pmag

Pmags are the only magazines I use. They are extremely reliable and durable. Do yourself a favor and go to VA or PA and get yourself some 30 round pmags.

PMAG's work great.

But I choose Lancer, mostly because they support 3GUN locally and I know Scott Villardi and believe him to be a great guy.

Don't know if you can read this thread without being a member but I and many other HP shooters have mad trouble with PMAGs

I'm not blaming it on the mags but something is off with compatibilty with certain rifles obviously. Thye run fun in my RRA upper but not in my custom built WOA upper so

I now use AR stoner mags because they were cheap. I've heard of some issues after a lot of use with these so but I haven't used them enough tp confirm or deny this.

PMAGS do a good job. I use mainly GI mags because they can be gotten cheap, and I've never had one fail. They also slide in and out of pouches alot easier than PMAGS.

I will be using them in a Daniel Defense

Been using GI surplus mags for 30 years. Although they are designed to be throwaways they last for ever. Never had a problem with them and the springs are still good today.

Oh and did I mention they are cheap?

Love my PMAGS, but if you get GI mags, magpul makes an improved follower for them which alleviates alot of the FTFs that they can be prone to.

223 mags? What platform, AR, HK, AK and others? What type of shooting, match, shtf or fun?

Try using a P-mag in a NRA HP match. Not going to fly

I have them all but use USGI 99.7% of the time. USGI are cheap and work!

44mag.com. Great selection of all kinds of mags.

Magpul items ship free if you're looking at pmags.

Any +20 round mags can be shipped to MD disassembled as rebuild kits.

They can't be constructed in MD though...

Ddm4v5 AR may get into match shooting later down the road

I use Milsurp mags

 

[smores]

I have 35-odd mags, they're split about half and half PMAGs in various configurations (black, FDE, window, non-window, even a couple EMAGs in there, 20 and 30 rounds) - and USGI contract mags (Colt, FNMI, Brownells) with MAGPUL followers. I also have a few old 20-round Colt mags as well.

All of mine run reliably. I have a Lancer L5 which I had feeding issues with in .300-221... and would like to try the L5 AWM but in my experience you can't go wrong with PMAGs or GI mags with MAGPUL followers.

 

[Demoneyes86]

Pmags are great but if you use gi mags atleast get the magpul anti-tilt followers they make the gi's much better.

 

[jac43k]

For the cost, weight and reliability Pmags are great.

FYI on GI Mags.

Remember; "tan-is the plan, green-start to lean, black-take it back." Magazines with the black follower are the oldest and should be turned in.

If you have GI mags with green or black followers, swap them out with the MagPul ones (they work great).

 

[04RWon]

Fyi, if u will need new springs to swap a magpul follower into a tan "improved" follower.

Correct
Thanks for catching that.
