| Can anyone please provide info from experience on the selection of mags for an AR? Poly, aluminum, stainless?? Why one over the others? |
|
PMAG
ETA: They also have a version with a window in the side that many prefer. Once you hold one and compare it to a metal mag, you'll understand. |

Quoted:
PMAG is all you need to know, but if you like the GI mags you should at least have magpul followers in them. I love PMags and they are all I have except (2) 30 round and (2) 20 round GI mags, but I have been strongly eyeing the Lancer L5 AWM mags as a competitor against PMags. |

Tango Down doesn't even get a mention ? If you are looking for cheap range mags, cdnn sports has good prices on mags. $3.99 for 20rd poly, $6.99 for 20rd teflon. Sorry, I'm a fan of 20 rounders, I'm sure 30 rounders are only a few bucks more.
If you're looking for more self-defense/combat, I'd say p-mag or tango down. |

I have some NHMTG 20's i run a lot and have no problems with. Otherwise I run 20 and 30 round p-mags. I have a few others, mostly 30 round c-products, but I don't use 30's that much and odds are when I do it's a P-mag just because I've got more of them and a half the C-Products 30's are still in wrappers.
I do think it's amusing that all my non P-mags are local production for me and not one was bought locally. |

I have lot's of P-mags but still prefer USGI (with Magpul followers). The mag faqs have lots of good information, but many prefer pmags. I don't. Freedom of choice is a great thing. I have a few Pmags, but I too would rather have GI mags with magpul followers. |

for a range mag that May get lost/ stolen or damaged I like the themold magazines that midwayusa sells, they run like $5 for a 20 rounder, I have 3 of them and they work great. I have about 500 rounds trough one and not an issue. they are also shorter and llighter then usgi mags.
I also have 3 Pmags and they work just fine so do the usgi 30 round magazines |
