Does anyone have any experience with their polymer AR mags they are currently selling?  I see they are on sale and thought about picking some up if they work alright.

The Sig magazines I have for the 556 are garbage. My mags have a cut on the side like they might work in an AR18 but they barely work in a AR15. There are much better mags out there for what ever they are charging you for the Sig mags. The plastic on these mags feels cheap. I bought mine about 3 years ago so they may have gotten better but I Would Run away from these. A cheap mag that I like a lot are the 2 Admend mags. I sometimes find them for about 6 bucks each and they just work well. Or buy Pmags and be confident you are getting quality for your money.

The are a total POS.  I had the ones that came with my Sig rifles and they continuously jammed in my guns.   For a tiny bit more money, you can get Magpul Gen 2s for $8 from Midway, and sometimes Prepper's Gun Shop.   They often have 10 magazine deals for $79-89.

Thanks guys that's what I figured with the price.  Maybe they would be good for malfunction drills?

Interesting. I had the exact opposite experience. Mags worked perfectly in all five of my rifles, and still do.

EDIT: Mine are the old squared-off mags that IMI made for them a few years back, not the new funky-looking space mags.

Bad info being given here... There are two versions I'm aware of. The earlier version, which was crap, and the Sig branded IMI Defense mags, which are GTG.

The ones for sale at $5 from sig direct are IMI Defense.
