I have only one C-products 7.62x39 mag. I just wanted one to try out. I have not had any problems with it. I just haven't gotten around to getting any more. Perhaps I just got lucky.
I wanted it because I had heard bad things about them, but then I saw a post here from a guy that had great luck with his. He had M4 style feed ramps, and that might have contributed to his success. But, like I said, I haven't had any trouble and I regular rifle ramps. |

I have M4 style feed ramps on it. The rounds are hitting just under that. I was considering trying a heavier buffer, but I'm not convinced that would help, and I don't want to spend the cash on it when I have another brand of mag that does work.

Tweak the feed lips of the mag so the rounds point up more. You may need to extend the M4 ramps on the upper/extension as well... |

I considered messing with the feed ramps, but I'd definately need some one far more skilled than me to do it. As for the feed lips on the mags, I may try that.They never did ask me to send in my old mags, so I guess I could try it on one of them. I think the mag bodies are the same.

Read somewhere on here that Wolf extra power springs do wonders in the CProducts mags.

why the heck doesn't C-products install Wolf springs?

why the heck doesn't C-products install Wolf springs? I pulled some of the springs out of my C-products mags to have a look at them. The ones I had were much longer and stronger than regular AR mags. All of my C-products mags work great as long as I only load 15 or so rounds into them. Much more than that and they start to bind up. |

Anyone having issues with their 7.62's contact me and I will make it right. If I have to personally fire all the magazines before they are sent to you guys to make sure they work I will.

An observation I've made concerning the floorplates on my 10 round 7.62x39 C Products magazines is that they tend to walk out in use. It's not just one problem magazine, either; I have 14 of them and it's common. I haven't had one come all the way out yet, but they often need to be reseated.
Is this a recognized thing with these? |

I just bought some CProduct 7.62x39 mags for my AR. However, my magazine followers are marked 5.56, is that the norm?

I got them from 44mag.com
On my order form it says 7.62x39. I thought it was weird that they were marked 5.56 I guess I should give them an e-mail or phone call. |

The longer springs that C-Products use are, as far as I can tell, almost identical to standard 30 round AK mag springs. Of course depending on the make/model of the AK mag you look at there will be slight differences.
I made a thread a long time ago about swapping the Wolff springs in. They solved all my issues. It just sucks having to spend the extra cash on the springs. I do have a couple mags direct from C-Products that work as well, but I only really trust the ones with the Wolff springs in them. |

I orginally bought 4 of the 30rd C Products mags a while back. 2 worked perfectly. 2 had followers that would hang up with more than 15rd loaded. I replaced the spring in 1 with an as-new AK mag spring, and it worked. I contacted Chad and he sent me 2 new followers and 2 new mag springs at no charge (much heavier springs than what my mags came with). I replaced the followers and springs in those 2 mags, and both work perfectly now. I then put my AK mag spring back into my AK mag. Note: Off hand, I could see no difference between my "old" followers and the new ones.

I know this is going to sound blasphemous, but it might be feedramps issues. The most recent build I did was an AR pistol and the barrel extension did not match the M4 ramps of my LMT upper. Out came the dremel with a green grinding "cone." I can't get any of my CP mags to fail, and I load them to 25. For gits n shiggles I ran a CP 25rd Grendel mag loaded with 20rds of x39––––zero stoppages. They even have magpul ranger plates. LMT carbine buffer. I might be lucky though...

The problem is that the bullet nose dives into the upper right at where the feed ramp starts, just missing the feed ramp by a hair. I think if I extend the edge of the ramp by just a little bit it will catch the bullet tip and push it into the chamber. |

Hey LMT, do the Grendel mags have stronger springs ?? You should hit the G-mags hard (use and abuse) and give us a report......maybe thats the fix....just switch to Grendel ?? |

I was too anxious to see how the new CPRODUCTS mags worked, so I took off a little early yesterday to try them out.
I ran 60 rounds through two of the new mags and they ran flawlessly, I'm very pleased with the results. The rounds now engage the feed ramps right about in the middle. I can't say enough how pleased I am with the service that I got from CPRODUCTS in rectifying the problem I had with the old magazines. Thanks Chad.

My Grendel mags are bone stock. They never gave me any issues in my 20" AA. I figured since the Grendel case can be fire/hydroformed from a 7.62x39 case that it was worth a shot. So far I've run 40rds through my AR pistol which was the most cantankerous little beast I've ever built. Zero stoppages. I'll run a few more the next time I'm at the range––-toward the end of the month. I have a feeling that the CP mags are excellent but that a simple little mod to the upper would make a world of difference. |

My new bushy 7.62x39 upper arrived today. I am pretty sure that CProducts is the manufacturer for these mags. Overall the upper produced great groups other than Wolf black box which most will not fire due to the primer and firing pin (need to order modle 1 enhanced?). The Wolf Classic JHP shot great and the only issue was the mag. The bolt would not catch the round on numerous occasions and I found myself re-charging. On a different note Monarch from Academey had zero mag and zero fireing pin issues. I just ordered another 5 mags of Cproducts and hope that the Wolf Classic will cylcle properly. The major issue was the Black Box and it also had several FTF and doubles.

I wish they would come out with a 20rd magazine. I am in CA, so it'd have to be converted to a 10/20, but I like the size of the 20rd magazines over the 10rd and 30rd mags.

I've had to replace all the CP springs with Wolf. It fixed one mag and I haven't tried the other three yet. You can feel difference. This may be off bubble but it appears to me the extra power forces the cartridge to tilt more upward. The issue I was having with all my CP mags was soft points plowing into the feed ramp and stopping immediately. |

I finally got my 7.62 pistol back out to the range...........
Its not the mags !!! It was the feeding ramps.....I re-did them with the dremel to the yellow lines like here in the pic..............(the red dots are where the bullets used to nose-dive and jam) 
Runs like it should now !!! Out of 200 rds, Not 1 failure to feed !! w/ Wolf ammo !!!.......2 lite primer hits,...gonna try the modded firing pin for that? post back later....... |
