well, it is lot more affordable then factory, and slightly cheaper then Korean.
if I hadn't bought a shitload of MP5 straight mags when they were 15 dollars a pop, or made a 71 round drum, I probably would roll the dice on one of those |

Yes - Sort of, they had bee promising an MP5 mag for a while (many months) - now they have pictures up so hopefully it is getting close.
I would try a few. RTG as a retailer has always been great to deal with; AC-unity so far, their other mags seem to be reasonable and work but not sure if they are steel reinforced feed lips. |

offhand it does not appear to have steel reinforced lips, but says "Lifetime warranty against defect or loss of spring strength or corrosion."

It's certainly more aesthetically pleasing than those horrible ETS mags. But I'll likely stick with HK magazines, maybe pick up a couple of these as cheap range mags if they end up getting good reviews. It is nice to see more variety.

A lot of the scuttlebutt for them comes from it's somewhat checkered launch. Their more "traditional" magazines have been fine in their second generation.

No issues with any of them, I like the texturing about as much as Magpul's. About half as expensive so they've been great for guilt-free paint experiments.  I'm pretty eagerly looking forward to the MP5 mags. I've been pretty happy with the AK 7.62/5.45/5.56 ones so far. Ordered their AUG mags to try out too. If nothing else, I want to encourage them to continue improving--having an alternative source of decent mags seems like a worthy goal. |

For the extremely reasonable price, I might pick up one of the MP5 mags to try out. I like the aesthetics (unlike the clear ETS mags, which I think look awful) and it would be nice to have some cheap backup mags. Maybe I'll pick up the handguard too, just for something different. |

I wonder if those are MLOK slots or just for looks. I was thinking the same thing. If they were Mlok, that would be a very functional handguard. However, the RTG site describes the handguard as "Vented design offers great looks and increased cooling." So I'm guessing it's not actual Mlok. |

I'd pay more than $200 for that. I would agree - I think its a systemic part of the design and variables of the builds and the aftermarket parts. All I have are clones So I can't comment on real HK. Some difficult and slide in smooth and fit great. I have some aftermarket stocks that have needed a little dremel work some don't. I have some old leftover Portuguese G3 back end demil receiver sections and seem to take a stock and pins smooth like butter. I suspect parts from the same factory fit better together. |

I had picked up the AC-Unity Glock mags a few weeks back - so far they are flawless in my Vector Kriss 9mm. Only 250 rds. through them. Holding off using too much 9mm on range fun time - 9mm is expensive! |

Just received 2 of the AC Unity mags from RTG. They are extremely tight in my PTR 9CT and the MP5 Maglula will not fit. May have to do some sanding to get them to fit. As delivered they take a lot of force to seat in the weapon and have to really pull hard on them to extract from the magazine well. Glad I only ordered 2.
Edit: measured the magazines they are slightly longer (front to back) than factory HK mags. Also after inserting them a number of times they seem to have loosened up a bit. They still fit very tight but don't require as much force to insert or remove. |

I recieved 6 of the 30 rounders today. They fit on the tighter side in my Zenith, but they lock up well. I would say they are about 1 inch longer than standard mags. Hope to shoot them soon, but first impressions are good.

Update on the mags I received.
After determining that the mags are wider, front to back I judiciously filed a little on the front lower "pad". The magazines now fit snuggly but don't require a lot to insert or remove. I manually ran 30 rounds of dummy FMJ RN through each mag and they functioned perfectly. The mags are about 3/4" longer than factory and a bit wider in the body. The windows are a nice touch. |

Mine arrived today.
Can echo the observation that they are pretty tight in the PTR-9. I inserted/removed one about 20-30 times and it wore in. That front pad is definitely the spot to file on if you were going to modify it; just the tiniest bit. With polymer I'd rather they be a little oversize than under given the dimensional variety in the MP5 clones. Easier to take material away than add it back. Hand-cycled some 9mm snap caps through it and they seem to feed fine that way. The real proof will be shooting but I am optimistic. |

Put me on the list for tight. In both my PTR's (9kt and 9ct) tight as hell.
Not that's a bad thing... I'll work with these for a while, but as of now they are relegated to buy cheap, stack deep back up / range use. Overall very nice magazines for the price. I like them. |

I received mine today. They fit in both my POFs (Full size and reverse stretch) just a hair tighter than my factory steel mags - I would say darn near perfect as far as insertion and removal.
I didn't get a chance to test fire yet but so far I'm impressed for the price point. I also picked up some AC-Unity Glock, 5.56 AK mags for the Zastava 85, and some 5.45 45 rounders. The AK mags have visible metal reinforcements which are nice. the 5.56 AK mag is a little snug on the Zastava pistol but not anything to worry about it will click in and out by hand. TheAC-Unity Glock mags I have tried and they work great in my Kriss Vector 9mm. Also picked up some fine German surplus items at RTG - always has great stuff. Get them all before Biden drives up everything! |
