I dont want to keep all my mags loaded, but I do want to keep some loaded for SHTF. I have new bulgarians, metal and circle 10 polymers, and the aimsurplus eauropean ones all 30 rounders. If you were going to keep only 6 loaded which ones would you?

Quoted: I just say cycle them out every month or so, Ive never had issues with mag springs losing tension except for contract Beretta 92 mags. I would use the ones you got from Aim Surplus if you're only going to use 6 of them.

| I think the most important point is see which ones work in your rifle the best. Which one's cycle the best, have never had a jam or feeding issue, which one's are in the best condition and you frankly trust. Of what you posted, I don't think you can go wrong with any of them. If you have a bug out bag, maybe the lightest mags with a full load is the best option. Those Euro AIM mags fully loaded are a little heavier than my liking if I have to back and go. |
I know this isn't realy on your list...but I have 10 Bulgarian " bullit" mags..the 40 rounders fully loaded...I love them. Their about the same weight as the steel 30s loaded.....just went out yesterday and blew threw 6 of them...after sitting loaded for 6 months ...not one issue..and this was with cheap steal cased ammo..that started to show rust spots. MAK 90 bone stock I do realy like these mags...and they fit perfect in my rifle...but iv seen then not fit in a Warsaw .

To rephrase my question, out of the different types of mags I have, which ones are better. Thanks None are. I disagree.... All/Any arsenal marked mags are much higher quality! They will last longer, are made of better materials, are made to a high standard spec and are subject to post manufacturer inspection. All mags ARE NOT CREATED EQUAL!!!! Arsenal marked mags > non-arsenal marked mags Here are examples of arsenal marked mags: Arsenal Marked Mags |

No diff. I have MANY Chinese made mags from the late 80's,they have NO MARKINGS on them at all,are the sub-standard? |

I would take any arsenal marked mag over an unmarked. The date at which you obtained your Chinese mags makes them a sure bet. But there quality is known only to you.... |

just run them to make sure they run reliably and you can keep them loaded for years and they should still feed reliably.
springs wear out from compress/decompressing cycles or being over stretched beyond elastic limit (thus becoming deformed (cannot return to original state)). thats it. no magic or anything to that. |
RTG has the same mags for $16.95!
