magpul Pmags
« on: June 24, 2009, 02:16:14 AM »
I am new to the AR scene. I just bought my first. I have the opportunity to buy Pmags at $11, which seems very cheap. Do I want to stock up, or would I be better off with GI issue aluminium? Any thoughts would be appreciated as I know squat about AR mag quality.
Thanks

PMags at $11 is an excellent price and I think the cheapest I have seen them.  A lot of people swear by them not at them.  I don't have enough personal experience with them to give you a first hand range report.  I think that they are being used in the sandbox.  Seems to me I read where  a guy was sending his son HK Ar mags which are very good, but high $.  Somewhere along the line they got some PMags and his son started requesting those instead.  I'm not sure how they hold up in bitter cold, but there are some wonderful plastics out there now, so they may be OK.  I mentioned the cold as I was reading a forum somewhere that a guy, I think from Montanna was concerned about it for winter use.

Thanks for the feed back Oh Great One (he who got me my $600 AR), but bitter cold around these parts is about forty degrees. I swear to God I finally bought a leather bomber jacket, which I've wanted since the first Indiana Jones movie. I found one at Sam's for fifty bucks. I've owned it for two years and its never gotten cold enough for me to actually wear it. Extreme cold is not an issue. ;)

Among a great many other things . . .    ;D

PMAGS are great, and at $11, a steal - they are normally around $14 for regular, $17 for windowed. I have "a few" - they are excellent mags. Haven't tried them at -30 though.

I have a couple Pmags and will be getting more soon.  Damn near indestructible and the dust cover allows you to store full mags without deforming the feed lips.  The price is definitely right.

Pmags are outstanding magazines.

Buy all you can afford at that price, then sell your first born and buy some more.
