I have noticed what I thought was feed lip spreading on my Bulgarian smoke colored 556 AK mags. Am I correct in my obesrvations? Also how well do these mags hold up in sub zero temps since I am considering taking my SLR106 to Alaska with me next year.

It is possible, as they do not have the steel feed lips like the black waffle mags; translucent polymers were never able to be made as strong as opaque polymers either.
If you're starting to see a feed lip crack or feeding issue, I'd worry, spreading not so much.

No cracks. I store them unloaded now and will stop dropping them on the ground also.

Has anyone experienced any failures of or with these mags? Too bad they didnt put metal feed lip inserts in these. My only guess as to why is that the type of polymer might not have been able to have held up as well at the feed lips if thinned out to sandwitch a metal insert.
