| I was interested in a 40 round mag and all i have found so far is bushmaster 40 round mag on impactguns.com Are these 40 rounders any good and if not are there certain ones that do perform well? Thanks |

40-round mags: - Sterling of England: These are "combo" mags made for the AR15 and AR18/AR180, so they have both types of mag catch slots. Floorplates are marked "Sterling England". These are the best 40s available, and no coincidence, they are the rarest and most expensive at $150 or so each, if you can find one. These will be private sales. - PMI/Fed Ord: These mags were originally marketed under the Federal Ordnance name, and later under PMI. A small step below the Sterling mags, but still very good. Expect to pay $50 or more for a like-new mag. These are a bit more common, but still hard to find. While there may be rare exceptions, these will likely also be private sales. Most vendors ran out of these in '98 or early '99 at the latest. - Everything else (USA/Triple K/Western Metal/Millet) - crap that isn't worth wasting any money on. -Troy |
