Yet Another Paint My Magazine Thread

[Ura-Ki]

I'm putting ranger plates on them and it makes it blatant which are which. Never used them before, but with a couple on aren't as gimmicky as I thought they would be. For this purpose they are OK.

Also have a dozen mags, so I'm pretty well stocked up, but might get a few more just in case.

I've never really warmed up to Lancer's even though many swear by them. I read reposts where they were used in sandy environments under harsh conditions that sand would get between the metal and plastic and cause issues. Also a bent metal feed lip on an inexpensive GI mag, but a bent lip on a $20+ mag is a wee bit different. Still, had I known they had a 300 BO specific mag I might have gone that way and my still get some.

I have had more issues with P-Mags then Lancers or G.I. mags, mostly incorrectly moulded feed lips, some can be fixed, others get gutted for parts and tossed in the trash!

I've marked a few mags and lots of other gear with Sharpie paint pens and the paint holds up great. Silver looks white against a black background and gold or black will contrast well wherever the silver won't.

I think I'm going to go with those rubber bands.

And just to make the shape of the magazine different, the Original Magpul (what the company was named after)

Original Magpul® – 5.56 NATO, 3 Pack

The Original Magpul!

magpul.com

Between the two, I have a highly recognizable mark that I can easily move from one magazine to another.

Black pmags, silver sharpie fill on baseplates-5.56/.223 55gr
Factory coyote tan pmags, black sharpie fill on baseplates- 5.56 green tip
Cerakote magpul OD green (were black from factory), red band indicates 300 blackout as well.- 300 blackout.

I paid to get them done by a guy close to me. It's more expensive than other options, but he's a good guy and I want him to stay in business, I also got aome other parts done at the same time.

It is a shame Aervoe no longer produces their military line, better than Krylon IMO.

Once you go BLK, you're dumb.
