Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR Steel Mags
Posted: 3/17/2002 8:26:47 AM EDT
I have a few AR steel mags that I bought about 3 years ago.  They all fit fine but I have never used them.  I was thinking about using them for range mags.  Has anyone had any experience with them?  Do they work OK or do they jam?

The few that I have tried all jammed. About the only thing I would take them to the range for is to use them as targets. You might as well buy USGI mags cause they really don't cost any more.

I use a few Western brand mags for My range mags, to save the good ones for "Other" uses. I know that Many others have had nothing but bad things to say about anything but GI mags, but for "range Mags" I have never had any of Mine jam or fail in any way.

YMMV

Try them out; maybe adjust the feed lips a little.  Since you already own them, what do you have to lose in tinkering with them?
Can't say that even if they eventually worked OK that I'd trust my life to them, though.
