Thread: Best Plastic AR mags

Lancer is my preference, not that I have ever had an problem with pmags.

I have had problems with both brands of NZ made mags. One company was interested and the other didn't want to know. I consider both only good for doing malfunction training unfortunately. And when both cost vastly more than a much more proven mag can be imported by any legal user I just don't see the point in ever trying them again.

My all time favorite mag is the H&K mag, but that not plastic-I do find myself using them for anything where weight is not a big issue

Never had trouble with my Magpul but endless feed problems with the Spear mags on my Rock River Arms.

Only problem I've ever encountered with the pmags is they empty to bloody fast and take much longer to reload again.

Other than that they are slicker than fresh snot on a door knob. ( local slang I've pick up here)

Cheers
Pete

Only polymer mags I've used are the Diemaco ones issued with C7's and Magpul PMags. I used to use steel H&K mags but started to have an occasional issue so switched to Magpul's and haven't had a problem since (the HK mags had seen a reasonable amount of use though). You can't seat the bullets out as far in the PMags as the metal mags, as the mag walls are thicker but not really an issue.

I hate to go against NZ made mags but had nothing but issues with Spears mags, feed lips were too flexi and my AR kept double feeding. I have 2 or 3 spare 30 rnd pmags still in wrapper

I have 5 PMAGs in the safe brought them but never used, I prefer metal ones HK being the best I have used.
Mind you it has been ages since I have had it out of the safe
