Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - BX-25 lifespan
Posted: 10/25/2013 5:46:31 PM EDT
I have a few of these and wonder what the lifespan might be with them.  Shorter than all steel I suppose.

 How long or how many rounds do you think they might last before starting to fail?  Same question for mags just stored indoors in a ammo can and not used.

 Am thinking the 'plastic' parts may break down a little over time.

I anticipate my 20 BX-25's will outlast me and will provide reliable service to our daughter long after I'm gone...especially since I'll be buying more of these mags in the future.

Dont store the mags in direct sunlight, and I'm sure they will outlast you or your wallet.

I have some pre-94 Butler Creek Hotlips  that are still in use today.

I have a pre-'94 Eagle 30 rounder that is still 100% and it has plastic feed lips.
