Anybody have any info or experience with SCAR Moses Mags? They have a good rep for their FAL mag version.
Looks like they have only been out for a couple weeks, so I'm sure not to many people have tried them yet.

Always looking for options

I was waiting until they had some in FDE, before I bought a couple to try.

I bought a few last week.
Picked 2 at random, loaded both to capacity, and let loose with 2 different 17s.
They worked perfect.
I hope to get a little more range time in soon.

A few notes=
they took 21 rounds, but I loaded 20 for testing.
They latch in nice with the bolt closed and 20 rounds in the mag.
BHO activates nice.

From my limited testing, they look GTG

Copperjacket on FNFORUM said he ran 40 rounds through each of the 4 SCAR Moses MAgs he got. He said they are 100% and would be buying more.They seem to be the real deal. He also mentioned dropping them on concrete with no issue. Has this been an issue with stock magazines? I wouldn't think to drop my $40 steel magazine on concrete but it does make sense that they should hold up to a certain amount of wear and tear, even on concrete.

Just a update on the FDE mags. I got a email from George at Moses and he says at least a few more months before the FDE ones come out for sale.

That pretty much sums it up, but I should add that the bodies feel a little soft if I squeeze the sides while unloaded. This makes me wonder if they would survive the "run over by a truck test," but while I do drop mags on the ground during reloading, I make it a point not to drive on top of them. I should also mention that Moses are the only aftermarkets I have tried, so I don't have anything else to compare them to apart from OEM. I am very pleased with them though, and I prefer them to OEM unless/until a problem is noted.

At 27.99, I'm gonna have to give a few a spin.

Got my 2 mags last week and tested yesterday. Both performed without issues so no complaints.

Good for them.

How do they feed? That's the hard part.
