I meant to post yesterday but forgot until now. Has anyone else tried loading these mags from stripper clips? I was trying yesterday and was having trouble. The first five or so would go in without much trouble but then I was having to take them off the clip to load by hand. I don't have very much experience using stripper clips so there is about a 95% chance the problem was me, but I was wondering if anyone else had tried.
I noticed looking down from the top the bullet tips have to fit in a fairly small slot inside the magazine, so I'm guessing they are just a little bit more sensitive to how you load them as compared to other magazines. That might be part of my problem. |

Hey Castiel, Because of the flexibility of our material, it is very important that when you load with stripper clips that you take extra care to put all of the force at the back of the rounds. If you start pushing down on the fronts, they can give you trouble. So I don't think it's you, you just have to get used to using them with our mags. It took me a couple of time to figure it out. PS I use the LULA on strippers because I find it much easier to use than a standard GI spoon. |

I just received the four I ordered a few days ago, speedy shipping. I like them so much, I'll order 6 next time.
On a semi-related note: I do want to say I enjoy using Magpul's gear, but fuck that lawsuit! I hope you achieve a decisive victory in your defense. In your defense Magpul ripped off Armalite, Thermold, and Orlite's design. I don't see Magpul going after HK for their polymer/plastic magazines. BTW Your magazines are top notch, uniquely beautiful, and easy to load, but they unload a bit too fast for my liking  .

That might be part of my problem. I've used both a striplula and the spoon to load them with stripper clips. I haven't had any issues at all with the striplula. With the spoons, it seemed the last round didn't want to go in but that could just be my technique. Bottom line is they work with both. As ETS said, apply pressure towards the back of the round and if you use a striplula or something similar, make sure you are holding it tight onto the magazine so it doesn't rock. Also, ETS sent me 9 mags on Friday and they arrived today. That's some fast shipping!!! |

Hey Guys colored parts are back in stock. However, there has been a change. The colored packs now only come with 2 sets of colored parts. The reason for this is because these colored parts ended up literally costing us double what we thought they would. We assumed that once we made a large run in higher quantities the materials cost would come way down. unfortunately we were wrong. We decided to keep the price at $6.99 and only include 2 sets instead of keeping it at 4 sets and having to charge more. With all that said, we will be offering a pack with all colors in the near future.
Thanks everyone, and have a great Thanksgiving!

Went to the range today and put a couple hundred rounds through these mags. They look amazing and fed without any problems. Speed loading with a standard GI spoon was no issue at all for me. Excellent product I will be placing another order very soon along with an order for some different color schemes.

I like the 30 rounders I bought, both coupled and non-coupled.
Any chance of some non-coupled straight 20 rounders? I love the short straight body of the aluminum GI mags because I can run them like pistol mags for reloads, and a significantly lower profile on the belt. The 20 round G3 PMags are worthless to me. Your clear mags would be way cooler anyway. |

I will say that if we can't find a definite advantage performance wise with the curved geometry on a stack of 20 rounds, we will make the body straight. However, if the curved body proves to be more reliable than a straight body, that is the route we will go, because ultimately it has to work all the time, regardless of looks. |
