Has anyone tried these out yet? I know they're not brand new, but I just ran across them.

I have some; I put 8 in my stash and kept 1 to shoot with. The 1 I shoot with has been cycled a few times; it functions perfectly so far. These magazines are very appealing ascetically. I have no idea how well they stand-up to continued use/abuse though.

Whack 'em and see if they spit some rounds. Feed lips holding up seems to be the doom of most translucent AR mags. |

Thanks for the review. I will definitely try a few myself and let everyone know how they work out for me.

I'd help you if I could but the 8 in my stash aren't loaded and have never been used. They are part of my "possible future assault weapons ban" hoard. The one that I have used looks fine. It's loaded right now but I keep it inserted into my Knight's SR-15, thus the feed lips don't ever experience extended periods of pressure from the rounds pushing up. I can testify to the magazines working for a few cycles and that they look really nice. Other than that I don't have any information. |

I have some. No problems but barely used; so that's not saying anything. They're pretty bulky.
I'd personally go with Lancers. |

I was given ken to t&e at shot show 2014.
It has held up well after several on this of use. I have used in on several pig hunts and it's one of the mags I take to the range.
It's different than a pmag. Definitely feels softer. But it runs. |
