Looking for the Best Deal on AR10 Mags

[Nwcid]

Yes, you are correct. I'm looking for the common one that is approx 99% of them out there. It still confuses me at times because a lot of stores carry the different ones side by side.

I understand why you say that, but Armalite still has a large market share, much more than 1%. Yes the SR-25 pattern has become more common and has over shadowed the Armalite in the past few years, but not 99%

Yes the other "odd" ball mags are a very small percentage for sure. They were also developed to use readily available and inexpensive magazines. At one point you could by good quality G3 magazines for about $2 each.

I ended up finding the 20 round PMags at Primary Arms for $16.49 each. Not sure I'll find a cheaper option.

That is a good deal.

I'm still looking for some stainless steel black ones as those shouldn't warp if left loaded for a prolonged period.

Is warping a problem with Magpul mags? I have not seen any reports of this, do you have a reference?

No reference, just internet fodder. Although, plastic tends to be much more fluid given enough pressure and time. Not really a concern but I'd like to diversify them a bit.

I have kept a few of their 5.56 mags loaded for 10 years without issue. It wouldn't surprise me if the 7.62 mags preform much the same. I'm sure there are others here who have kept dozens of loaded mags from various manufacturers loaded for long periods. I wouldn't be surprised if very few brands fail.

I actually just dug out a loaded Magpul 25rd mag that was loaded with some mystery ammo I haven't seen in 8-9 years. I know this because it was under some paperwork dated 2014.

Went in the backyard and rang the hell out of a steel target in the Ruger SFAR. All 25 rounds fired fine, no failures.

I'm sure some of these mags fail, but the internet takes a handful of failures and Faucis them into a pandemic.

Not many do stainless AR mags.
CPD (C-Products Defense) is one who does under the Duramag brand.
Sometimes they need to be tuned up....I would proof them at the range.

I think I have a couple of those. I haven't really beaten on them much, but they've worked OK. I've had bad luck dropping steel and especially aluminum mags in 5.56. Bent the body or the feed lips a few times. Easy to fix, but still.

Keeping Pmags full is a non issue for the gen3 ones with the cap.
What killed two of mine that were loaded was when they slid off of the table.
Broke the feed lips at the rear and it was a .308 volcano.

Magpul did take them back and replace them.
The only metal mags in the $20 range that have worked for me are the D&H ones.

I have several types, the pmags are nice because if you are a reloader they won't scratch your brass, sanding down the rough edged lips of pile of metal mags is chore.

I have an order in with Primary Arms, $16.49 each for 20 round PMags. That was the deal that I first saw and was looking if it was the best one out there. Looks like it may be.
