All my 300BLK guns also have dust covers that say 300BLK on the inside & outside. Also the mag catch bars are FDE have 300BLK printed on them so they stand out as a different caliber as well.

I'm curious why Lancer would call out to use their 5.56 mags over their 300blk. Picked up the 300blk mags myself for use with my supers/subs but haven't gotten to shoot that many supers yet.

Not sure about shooting supers in the Lancer 300BLK mags, but I've had several malfunctions shooting 150gr supers in Lancer 556/223 magazines. The top two rounds in the magazine will bind against each other and fail to feed.

Tyrensy Member Joined May 2011 Posts 829 EE 100% (251) WA, USA	Posted: 2/27/2021 8:18:37 PM EST I spraypainted a few range mags with stencils "300BO" They kind of look ugly, but work very well. The more people I shoot with that ask questions about those mags, the less likely someone is to do something stupid. For around the property and/or by myself, I use some Tam Fam mag bands on different mags. Attached File
