how will these work in a Seekins SB15 billet lower? it wont acept the magpuls with the mag stop and it looks like these may cause it also to not seat properly I think 1911XDM said they work in his Seekins. Our over insertion tab is just a "hair" lower than G3 pmag so I think it works in the Seekins for that reason. |

Got mine today, 2 days from order. I am really liking the integrated coupler. I really tried to see if i could get it to come loose and short of just brute forcing it, its not going anywhere. Snapped some DroidPotato pics if anyone was curious-it will clear a tactical link battery assist device. Short of a function check at the range, these look top notch next to my Lancers. They may be a hair shorter for COAL as I had a few hangups using my LULA loader. They hold 30 easily and seat on a closed bolt and drop free. I would like to see "20" or a known line molded in as a reference point for round count if you ever do a V2. Until then, I'll just shoot them till they are empty 
Excellent product-for every new kid on the block that claims to have innovated the tried and true AR mag, i think you might just have done it both with the flexible material and the integrated coupler. Kudos. http://i.imgur.com/ITc7gbE.jpg http://i.imgur.com/szsTLk7.jpg http://i.imgur.com/sgSUXre.jpg http://i.imgur.com/4dzJLtJ.jpg Thanks for the nice photos and the kind words. We hear your feedback and we will be making some 30, 20 marks are the next gen for round count. |

I bet it's the front rib keeping it from fitting, not the over insert tab in the back. Can you verify that 1911XDM? |

Just got mine and they don't fit in my Area53 billet lower either, it is the front rib that is stopping it. Presuming if they haven't been shot they can be returned?

Hey Justin, I am sorry it doesn't fit your lower. If want to return the mags, of course we will take them back. However, we would much rather cut down that front rib so it will fit in your lower so we can win you over as a customer. It's very easy to modify the housing material with a dremel, a file, or even a razor knife. I have cut plenty of our mags up for testing and measuring and it's really easy with any of those tools. If you don't want to do it, we can do it for you. Or if you would rather not bother with it, we understand and will gladly take it back for you. Once again, sorry for the trouble. |

Do LULA loaders work with these?

Received my order last night (2 coupling and 1 non-coupling). All 3 fit and function well in my ARs. I won't have time to try them with live ammo for a bit, but I am impressed with all the features so far.
- Great looking and functional translucent design and material. - Both the coupling and non-coupling mags are easy to grab an hold onto. - They drop freely and had no problems inserting (so far only tried with 5 snap caps in mag). - The dust covers seem like they will provide better protection than my Pmags. - The dust covers are easy to manipulate (pop off well). - The base plate works great for disassembly. I have not checked the fit of the mags in my various pouches yet, but doubt there will be a problem, other than possibly the coupling version. Some have suggested adding a round count on the mags. That wouldn't hurt, but with total visibility of the rounds, I don't see that as necessary. Great job ETS, and thanks for the discount and express shipping. |

I hit the range again today. Put another ~400 rounds through the Same ETS which was previously beaten up on by the 6 year old and had 500 rounds last week. Tried through both one of my SBR's and my Larue Predatar. Still perfect. Not a single failure and easy to clean. Anything on the follower simply wipes off. Mike_P posted this in another thread in the magazine section. So basically after beating one of our mags on the concrete (and who knows what else) he has now put ~900 rounds through that same mag and has not has a single malfunction.

Got some good range time with ETS mags. They have ran fine under full auto and in suppressed firearms. I took a carbine class this weekend and used the mags as much as I could. Only two little things I can think of is a smaller base plate and the ribs on mag stick a little in the pouches. If they where rounded a little more I think that would help.
On a side note suppressed full auto fire will turn you mag from clear to black very quickly.

Glad to hear they are running well for you. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the ribs and floorplate. Since you have gotten a chance to do some training with them and having to pull them from pouches, did you like the grip on the floorplate when pulling it from the pouch? Which brings up an entirely new question, how many of you guys would rather have a slimmer, smooth mag vs the ribs with extra grip? We thought more people would prefer extra grip, but only time and feedback from you all will truly answer that question... |

I had no issues with the floor plate being a little bigger just noticed it was bigger than most. But had no issues getting a grip and removing them from mag pouches. As for the ribs I think rounding them a little would help. That way they side a little better when removing from a pouch. Thanks again for the great mags keep up the good work. |

Did anyone try to Rit Dye these yet? To my knowledge, no one has tried to dye these yet. Since our material does not adsorb or react in any way with water, I am not sure how well it will take the dye. When it comes to water, our material is extremely different than nylon that most mags are made of. Nylon will react with and for a molecular bond with water, it's also why nylon mags swell in really humid environments. Our material just doesn't take any H2O....but hopefully someone will try it, because I would love to know how it turns out. |
