Barretts are well regarded.

Barrett are the best, full 30 rounds, most expensive and wont fit most pouches because they are a bit longer.
PRI are really good, 25 rounds, fit pouches, spendier than USGI 5.56 mags. C Products are OK, I've used them in addition to the others for 12 years with no problems, 25 rounds, fit pouches, reasonably priced. |

I have a bunch of the old PSA mags that have always been good. If you can find them jump on it.

But I think the Magpull ones only work on the LWRC 68 lower, which is longer than a regular AR lower.
I've had good luck with older C Products mags, from about 10 years ago when I bought them. I know C Products had gone through some issues so I don't know what they are like now. Barnet mags are good, as other's have said. |

I have only used the Barrett 6.8 mags 30 rounds. They work just fine for me.
The Magpul 6.8 mags look cool, but you need a special upper/lower that can only accept these unique sized mags. So downside if you want to run the same 5.56 mag pouches... |

For the record, I'm planning on using my 6.8 for hunting.
So I'm mainly looking for 5 round mags that don't cost $40 to $50 each. How reliable are the mags from ASC & C Products? Any alternatives? Or is Barrett & PRI the only good ones? |

I've had good luck with ASC 6.8 mags. The 5 round mags have the same body as the 10s, blocked with a big chunk of spring wire. If you buy the 10 round mags, you can block them to 4 with a 5.56 Magpul follower installed upside down in the bottom. Should be easy to trim a bit for the 5th round if wanted.

I bought 20 of the PSA 6.8 mags when they had a Christmas blow out on them a few years ago. They work 100%. I had bought 5 of them to try out before that. I have a few PRI 25 Rd mags. Very good mags. I bought 15 of the Barrett mags when they had the 1\2 price sale last year. I prefer them over any others. |

Unimag gen 2 works great for me. I use it for 6.8 & 7.62X39. It's on sale, 20 bucks for each.

I only use PRI. I have heard good things about the Barrett mags, but didn’t want the extra length.
PRI mags are expensive but they work. I learned my lesson on 6.8 mags. Buy once, cry once. |

I like PRI the best. I only use 20R mags because the 30R are too long for my uses. They work for me in the 6.8 and all my various 6.8 cats so until someone makes a better mousetrap, PRI for me.
My old CP (original company) 6.8 mags are OK but occasionally don’t feed properly with some of the cats so I rarely use them for bench use and won’t hunt with them. |
