Can anyone tell me where i can buy the see through magazines for the AR15, I understand there are two types made? Thanks, Hesse |

I had a couple of the clear Eagle mags that I got in a trade. I never used them but I wasn't impressed by the spring system they used. I had trouble getting rid of them for around $8/each on ebay (best place to unload crap parts) so they must not be that great. With the current low price of NIW USGI mags I would think it counterproductive to buy any other mag. |

I had 7 or 8 of the Ramlines, and GAVE them away, they are that bad. If you bump them, the feedlips will flex and the rounds will shoot out all over the place. Even just shaking them will do this. The follower will more often than not fail to work the bolt stop. They will sometimes double or triple feed. Don't use them for anything other than to practice your cursing at the range. |

The ONLY advantage of the clear is you can see the ammo. Well, not really, once you get to the last 10-12 rounds, it is up in the mag well and you still can't see them. Also, I left out, the springs are not very strong in the Ramlines. If they were any stronger, you could not keep ammo in them at all. So, due to the low spring strength, feeding the last few rounds is unreliable. The ONLY mags I will use in my AR's, USGI's or "England" SA-80 mags. And the SA-80's have green followers and new springs. I do own two Thermold 30/45's, but would never consider them for any serious use. |
