designed to be stored indefinatly, offers the tactical advantage of being able to shoot 100 rounds without having to reload, offers a smaller profile when resting it vs. a 30 rd.
will go up in price when the AWB is revived |

Nice when using a rest. The 30 rounders always get ih the way. |

I like mine a lot, especially when I want uninterrupted firepower. Never a hiccup. Not a substitute for my 20 & 30 rounders but I like having it loaded and ready. I will probably buy a couple more before another ban. I remember seeing these things for $500-$850 during the Klinton ban. It's like so many options for an AR; it's not a must but if you can afford one and want one, why not. Welcome to America, the land of the FREE.

Yes there is a coolness factor. In my opinion they are not really that great with semi auto. They are heavy and standing there pulling the trigger 100 times can take a while.
In full auto they are a blast. I have 7 in 5.56 and 3 in 9mm. Dump the mag, push the two pins, change uppers, and dump another one. I'm in the process of building a water cooled upper so I don't have to push the two pins. Just my $.02 worth. Scott |

Agree with canon3825 on this. For full-auto I can see some value. For semi, forget it. If you are shooting from the bench use a 20-rounder.
Also, the betas are somewhat on the fragile side. Don't drop a loaded one.

They are really fun for full-auto fire.

I say skip the beta and get 20 CP Stainless mags with Mag-pul Gen2 followers...

Yeah, the beta mags look cool but for that kind of money I'll pass. I think I would rather have a bunch of 30 round mags instead of just one Beta Mag.

Whats the latest on the Beta's for 7.62 rifles?
Take 2 or 3 shooters with an AR and 3 beta's each, you can keep the front yard clean for a while without a break in fire. Sustained fire is the only real advantage, and the fact that the value will probably triple after the next election. Does anyone have a pic of a Beta that busted as a result of a fall? |
