They are better quality than Pmags but not as good as LT mags. IMO

Just curious. Compared to their 5.56 mag, is the cost of the plastic and a slightly bigger metal insert clip, really that much more? Yet they want close to $50 for a translucent .308 mag. In a world where you can get .308 PMag's for $15, and 5.56 translucent Lancer mags for about $20. |

Magazines produced in lower quantities are going to be more expensive...

I’d rather pay the $20 premium for 25-round windowed Pmags or $15 for 20-round Pmags... but then again, they’ve been nothing but perfect for me.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I’ve noticed the same thing. I’ve ran the 308 Pmags through numerous weapon platforms and have never had an issue. I’d stick with the pmags unless translucent is just something you want. |

The larue mag lets me seat the bullet out longer. I can load heavier projectiles without giving up as much case capacity. Which gives me more velocity. The best part is that it feeds them properly. No nosedive into the barrel extension. The lancers worked far be for SAAMI spec, but not so much with anything approaching 2.85" As far as larue mags being rebranded? I've got two ASC mags I'd let go of for $5/each plus shipping. Bar none, the shittiest mags I've used in a large frame AR. Definitely not d&h mags, the bodies are completely different. ETA: If all you're shooting is factory ammo, pmags should be fine. |

I'll have both 556 and 308 Lancer magazines the 308 Lancers are a total different animal the material that they use is much heavier and a lot firmer and the metal reinforcements are 360 Degrees around the top not just the feed lips if you see one in person you'll understand you've basically got the top cage part that is all metal-reinforced along with the polymer being a much heavier and thicker then there are 5.56 magazines. Give them a try . They feed great |

I could've bent the feed lips, but I didn't want to break the mag. So I bought a LaRue mag and it does everything I need it to. |

As far as the feed lips on the lancers scaring brass , just about any magazine will leave marks for the striping process when the round is chambered , but again I understand that the target - accuracy crowd is totally OCD about those kind of things , again different needs for different uses !! If the LaRue mags work best for your needs by all means stack them.deep , but 70 bucks a pop is crazy !! Once a mag gets to the 50 bucks and up price I usually pass . And as I said before I doubt highly larue has spent 6 figures to get the tooling needed to make 1 magazine , these things are normally farmed out to sub contractors . I am a huge fan of magpul , but there 308 mags leave a lot to be desired . The Lancer 308s are just bomb proof . Happy shooting man !!!! If we gun cranks aren't bitching about one thing or another that usually means we're at room temperature!!! Lol |

I love the look of the Lancers but my lower doesn't love them. I've found pmags work best for me. Haven't tried Larue mag but I'm hesitant to drop $80 when I'm not sure it would work in my rifle.

Unless you can show me proof of the stamping AND spring manufactering machines then the point is mute . And I'll bet another 20 bucks that LaRue will never post pics of said machinery because there a proprietary secret or some other such explanation. I'll go be poor somewhere else with my over 100 Lancer 308 magazines. |

Start up costs are expensive. New things are more expensive than old things due to the initial cost of production. Research and development costs money
this is basic economics |

Molds to make mags aren't cheap and as someone else stated...it's all about volume as Lancer doesn't make nearly as many of the AR10 pattern mags.
