Not trying to quarrel, Dwaine, and not specifically referring to you, but what is it that everybody has to Youtube everything? Can't anybody read or write plain text anymore?

I mean, visual illustration is nice, but not all of us are in audio/video-friendly locations...

#2 son was all excited-he ordered some hexmags from GunMag warehouse and they arrived on Thursday. While they would drop part way down from his magwell, they wouldnt drop from mine at all...

I can't follow the "points" system everyone is using or just making up.

What ever happened to A,B,C,D or F +/-.......

LOL !

+1 means "I agree"
+2 means "I agree very much"
+1000 means "I agree very much and you can marry my daughter"

 

[Boboclown]

Twenty round USGI mags for the AR are the best I've ever used. As long as you don't go trying to put an anti tilt follower in them, they'll work and work and work.

+1000 means "I agree very much and you can marry my daughter"

-1000

@Kruejl and @Trick I had originally proposed a simple "+1 = Would Buy Again, -1 = Would NOT Buy Again", but that soon fell by the wayside it seems.

Well, I suppose it depends on the daughter !

Yep, most will agree that it is the most reliable and the one that was originally designed for the platform.
And nice for shooting prone or off the bench.
All black rifle drivers should should have some.

Yeup. I say it whenever I can. Absolutely never had an issue with twenty round USGI mags, they're the ones I'm keeping for when I get into the AR game again.

Not that much of an AR guy, but bought a couple in anticipation of a hillary lockdown. When Colorado passed anti-gun legislation, Magpul said "we're outta here", so I bought theirs. Damn glad I did. They work. Not knocking anyone else's, just saying, American company run out of a lefty going state with a good dog in the hunt, i'm following that dog.

AR15 5.56:
Magpul - Excellent! I have a bunch of 10 & 30 rd non-windowed Pmags, all work flawlessly. They've been beaten, dropped from 6' onto concrete and rocks, etc. I've lost all but 2 of the top clips.
C-Products steel 30rd - Meh - use them only if I have to. These things are a PITA to load. I've had a few FTF where the bolt wouldn't even strip it off, and yes, it was locked in. When it happens, I first pull on the mag to see if it will come free.
Troy Battle - just bought and loaded a bunch. They load nicely and look like they will work, but will see. In my hand, I prefer their scale texture finish.

AR15 6.8 SPC
PRI - worth every cent. It's just that, at 4,500 cents per magazine, I only have a few.
ASC - Just bought 6 and can tell I will need to have a very shallow U Dremel'd into the lip so they feed nicely into the feed ramp. If you try to push a round out by hand, they usually hang on the feed lip.

AR10 308 DPMS pattern
DPMS 5rd - I need to take it apart and clean it. No anti-tilt follower and it infrequently hangs.
Milsurp Noname, 20rd - These things rock it! Hundreds and hundreds of rounds, flawlessly.

I rock a Colt. I shoved a blarney stone on up in there once.. worked like a charm. lol
