Received my two today and can claim they are turds!. Basically a rip off a EMAG/PMAG in so many ways.





Follower and floor plate retainer are made of a super cheap plastic. The rear portion of the follower that engages the bolt catch arm, started to deform after maybe 10 insertions. Follower hump also extends pass the feed lips. Disassembly of the mag also showed it to have a direct rip off of a EMAG/PMAG floor plate retainer. Follower also patterns itself after the EMAG/PMAG with the exception of being even cheaper by cutting the hook loop of the spring and just using a friction fit to retain the follower to the spring.





Mag did drop free from all 18 of my rifles/lowers of varying makes. Bolt hold open failed to engage on two lowers, a NOVESKE and ROGGIO that had no issues with the EMAG.





I then was able to swap all EMAG internals into the SyntecMags body to include even the EMAG floorplate. They fit like a glove and the previously mentioned lowers that had issues with the bolt hold open, was no longer an issue. The SyntecMags internals did not readily insert into the EMAG though, with the follower binding 3/4 way into the EMAG body.





I also tried the EMAG dust cover on the SyntecMags and if not for lack of a notch on the back of the SyntecMags spine, it would have snapped into place. Using a LULA, I was able to load 31 rounds (yes, 31 rounds) very easily. Lastly, after maybe 20 or so insertions, the mag catch latch is actually wearing a noticeable grove into the SyntecMags body.





In conclusion, they are range mags only to me and even then I do not have high hopes of getting a handful of uses out of them.
