yep prone, bench ,or slung up they work better

I have a few, but I prefer 30rnd magazines since I never shoot off a bench anyway.

Mostly prefer 20's, I have no real use for the 30's except for the fact that they are amazingly cheap.

I like them.

I love my 20s.

they are my go to any time i am hoofing with my ar15. I guess if i was being hunted my zombies or commies i might bump up to the 30s, but for rec shooting or pest control, love dem 20z

I love them on my precision build, however I've gone through a TON of them to find ones that have decent followers/springs in them. Maybe it's just the local gunshows I go to , but i've bought about half a dozen 20rds that don't work ,yet haven't had a single 30rd mag ever give me issues.

On a -15, don't think I've ever used them seriously. Used the 30 rounds and in standing with a combat sling, I haven't run into interference.

On a -10, use them all the time. I'm still in the same stance as with a -15 but when I was shooting M-14's, they made a mighty nice palm rest like one might find on a 40X.

I prefer the way they look. I like the retro stuff

They're my primary mags for bench work.

20rd mags are awesome.

Way awesome...much handier in/out of vehicles and aircraft. I run 20s on the sides of my armor...to clear my elbows/arms.

Sad story: I've seen units turn in BOXES, huge boxes full of them to be destroyed.

+1, I had a drop leg 20rd mag pouch while in A-Stan, I had a folding/retracting bipod on my M4, and when we got issued ACOGs I thought the combo was perfect. If I knew I was going to be in the prone for a little bit I would usually insert one of my 20 rounders into my weapon. I haven't really cared much for the 30rd drop leg pouches that I have used, and I think 20rd mags are much better suited in that type of rig.

I like them too. For prone they work well. But even so they have a cool retro factor that I like too.

Of course I love my Colt 20-rnd mags. I paid enough for 'em!

Posted: 9/5/2010 2:01:35 PM EDT

Great for prone position, I'd like a few myself as mine are all 30 rounders...

I have a few 20 round mags and always find myself using them more that the 30's,I need to get more !

You will be happy to know that you can get awesome repro waffle mags from NoDak Spud as opposed to paying $200-300 for an original.

Thanks for the info and link for repros Bro.

I still want at least one of the real deals too.

Aluminum 20 rounders- I remember watching something on the Alaska National Guard saying these fed much better than 30 round GI mags in the cold.

PMAG 20 rounders- Some here have had rare issues where the mag goes too far "up" into the mag well, causing issues, as it doesn't have a physical ridge like the 30 rounders do.

I like them on long range/ target rifles because they don't get in the way when you're laying down.

Love them. Got a Saw can full of lightly used 70 era 20 rounders. Got a 50 call full of new ones and a couple of unopened boxes like pictured above.

My child bride favors old school 20 round magazines...

I have an assortment of 10's, 20's and 30's. (I still have I think a 5 rounder that originally came with one of my RRAs.)

The 20's do make the rifle look neat and clean.

I'm a 20 round user. I buy em when I see them.

I shoot prone with a bipod or service rifle high power style. thirties aren't that handy for said activities.

I need to go find some more

I have a shitload of 30 rd. Magazines. I always use my 20 rd. Mags.

[#41]

I have 10/20 and 10/30 Pmags.

Prefer the 10/20s for bench shooting, because its easier to have it drop free when you are stuck with a damn BB in CA.

If I lived in a free state, I think I'd go with 30 rounders, with 1-2 20 rounders.

I have one 20rd Pmag. Wish I had more.

I like the old school look of an A1 set up with 20 rounders. I may be converting my primary zombie killer to this set up in the next month or so instead of my AK

Love them. My RRA National Match came with a 20rnd NHMTG and I initially used it with my PCLIP 20s in highpower matches.

I liked them so much, and the way that the Al mags drop free easier, that I got my extra NHMTG 20rnd mags from www.44clip.com
