How many of you number your PMAGS so you can track any reoccurring issues that may arise during various shooting sessions? (Cell phone pics.)

Why 7.62? Because when the shootin' starts, people tend to hide behind things.

Did them myself, working on a jig to make alignment perfect. Did these by hand and they are slightly off (alignment wise, I have a CO2 laser and a 3D prototyper that I will use the make the jig). Once the jig is done, i'll be set. I will probably bold the text and make it a bit larger within the Magpul Dynamics logo for the remaining mags.

I've stippled all of mine so there is nowhere to number them.

Ditto but still cool...

I have the Pmags I use numbered. #5 was giving me trouble at a carbine class earlier this year but did me just fine at Carbine II with MDFI. Had to clean it, is all. The follower got gritty.

That is one of LaRue's UDE color. I adjusted the power of the laser and surface burned a Dillo to match their UDE hat, came close.

Dillo with the UDE mag.
