| Anyone had a chance to try these newly manufactured magazines that Brownells now offer? They sure hype them up in thier catalog, but I was curious if they function as well as they say. |
I'd suspect they are the usual commercial junk. Why buy anything but new USGI, you can get them for as low $12.50 now if you buy in bulk (10 or more). |
Well Brownells is suppose to be quality stuff. I just noticed that they hype thier stuff a little more than the next guy, so curiosity got the best of me. Where did you see the USGI mags for $12.50? |
| I have also been wondering if they are as good as Brownells says they are. It seems like they spent alot of time trying to make them perfect. Supposedly they had one manufactuer make a bunch and after they tested them they did not like them and choose another manufactuer and tested the hell out of them. They have a milspec mag and a mag with a silicone spring which isn't supposed to set. I'm going to buy a couple this week and find out how good they are and coming from Brownells I would imagine they are good. |

I've bought 3 of the 30 rders. the fit and make of the magazine is as good as my mil spec ones. it has green follower and have so far gone thru 10 uses of 30 rds . including 3 mag dumps on FA. All perform well without hiccups good stuff and the price is right,. DaveC |
Sorry, $13.50 it was, if you buy 10 NHMTG 20 rounders, $14 ea for the 30 rounders singly. HERE And Eagle Firearms is one of the good guys. How much are the Brownell mags? |

The Brownells mags are super. Great finish, silicone wire spring, green follower. They worked like a charm and now they have them on 10% off sale. I got a dozen and function tested them. Not a single problem. I am going to get some more and vacuum seal those bad boys in case the gun grabbers are re-elected. Mark |

Suitable for range mags. I would stick with USGIs if they were in the same price range. Lots more opinions in these threads on the Brownells mags. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=213305 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=228382 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=227645 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=220545 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=220256 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=228873 www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=17&t=230047 |
