Mke mags work well in my mke. The latest gen kci mags from hkparts.net work but older kci (korean) mags are mixed for me. I've had a few have weird feeding issues but some feed fine. Waiting for more pof or mke mags to arrive.

Anyone have experience with any other manufactures of mp5 mags than Hk? Id like to get a few more but I'd really like not to have to spend $70-80 a mag. Thanks ATI korean mags are gtg in my clone. I never had issues but they can be harder to find cheap nowadays....... here you go.

I'm not sure what "Gen" they're on now, but my "Latest Gen!!!" ATI mags were shit.
The catch is pressed in too low, resulting in improper feed height and BCG rubbing the lips. 
MKE mags are cheap, and POF mags are super cheap. There is no reason to use anything else. (Similar to the Korean AK mags that the tabs fall off of... are you really trying to spend $6 instead of $8 and just completely ignoring quality?) |

Glad I bought my German mags when they were sixty a pop. After the panic they shot up to eighty and have never come down.

I had two shitty MKE mags that would not feed but I have never used any POF mags. The Taiwanese mags are crap. I have three that will not run and they have the same problem you were having with the ATI with feed height. Are you running a clone or an import? What do you consider cheap for POF mags? |

POF mags were a fantastic deal not long ago, now it's like finding a unicorn.

I've only ever used German mags and never had a problem. My original 30 round & 10 round mags from the 80's still function 100%
The new old stock German mags I bought last were ~$65 a pop on hkparts.net but work great. I've seen POF mags that are utter crap and as soon as I "loaned" one of my mags to the guy, the feeding problems stopped.....YMMV |

They're 100% correct, contract mags. Along with my MKE mags, I've had thousands of trouble free rounds. A lot of the people who have had problems with the contract mags are using garage builder guns that won't run for crap anyway. |

Others have them priced to high imo. |

Ever tried the straight stick German Army surplus magazines? I bought a batch and haven't had any issues with them. I think I got them from Roberts RTG or HK Parts net.
Look weird but work great. |

Has anyone tried the MKE plastic mags? I haven't seen much about them, but found a dealer who has some in stock...

I don't think MKE sells the mags separately that they package with their MP5 clones at this time. Hopefully they will at some point.
