This is only semi related to AR10 types as the rifle I bought accepts AR10 style magazines (Galil ACE).
So that leaves me a few options:
1- Pmags; Cheap, but from my experience with the 5.56 version, the feedlips break. Not a problem with they are cheap, but long term not a great option.
2-KAC / LaRue magazines. Reported to be great, and they are made of metal so will last longer. All the other metal mags like DPMS, Brownells, etc, reports are not exactly glowing.
3-Lancers; More expensive, but with metal reenforcements.
4-Original AR-10 waffle magazines. I see them sold at Militaria shows in Europe for about $40 US..But how long do they last? From what little experience I have with them, they remind me of aluminum AR mags. If you are careful with them, they will last forever. Or I am better off with something else?
Any thoughts?
