one of the biggest things wrong with AR's is there mags. If it works for you please let us know but I'm leaving mine alone I'll just load one in the chamber. Really please let give feedback after doing this to several mags and how are you getting the lips back to spec? Why can't you just remove the floor plate? Sorry if I'm ignorant but this sounds pretty fishy to me. Thanks

OMG!
He (or someone) actually did remove the spring from the top of the mag by prying back the feed lips! Wie dumm von ihn! Noah |

one of the biggest things wrong with AR's is there mags. HUH? The only people who ever have problems with AR mags are guys who continue to buy $5 USA mags... Buy GI mags, and you won't have problems... unless of course you buy $5 worn out mags. |

Oops, they've gone up to $9.99 at
[url=http://www.cdnninvestments.com/22330blustee.html]CDNN Investments[/url] But still, $5 or $10, they're not worth $1, so why buy them at all? The good ones (USGI Aluminum) start around $20 each, which still won't break the bank. Or if you gotta have steel, buy the SA80 mags from Tapco! But if you really still want junk, [url=http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?p=WX2&i=10224]here's[/url] a 40 round mag for $12.95! |

Quoted: O I see, sorry. I just would not bother with a mag that crappy. But hey if it works good. I guess you where right, I tried pulling the plate out with pliers and it moved. I just assumed it was fixed in place because there was some discoloration like the kind caused by welding. If any one knows where to find dirt cheap USA steel mags, tell me, I only take my rifle to the range so it doesn't matter if they fail on me, I would just like to have a bunch of these to fill in my ammo pouches |

"What a magical pile of Najavo horse shit.." -Nicolos Cage, Windtalkers
Seriosuly though the reason the cheap mags suck is because when the bolt slides across the top of the round on it's way back to eject a spent cartridge it will sometimes cause the new round to jump out of the mag. This could be fixed by weakening the spring I guess.. I was an idoit and bought alot before I knew any better so maybe I'll try it tonight and let you guys know.. |
