P-Mags are nice.

Re: Mag recommendation.

You're going to hear "Pmags" about a thousand times.

Re: Mag recommendation.

Thanks for the quick responses. Ordered a few 30's and a couple 20's for bipod. You folks are the best

Pmags a thousand times!

Re: Mag recommendation.

I'd highly recommend the PMAG as well. Whether it's 2nd generation or the newest release, they will last longer and be far more reliable that the aluminum GI Mags. This time of year there will be many sales from numerous companies as well. You can pick them up and save a few bucks if you watch.

Re: Mag recommendation.

I'm gonna be contrary here...I got rid of my PMags and have transitioned back to USGI (D&H) mags with Magpul enhanced followers; I'm adding Ranger Plates as time and money allow.

Re: Mag recommendation.

Does anyone know of a high quality 30 round mag for .308/7.6?

Found a few on the web, not sure if they are good or not.

One that now accepts a Magpul 20 round Pmag magazine

Re: Mag recommendation.

For what it's worth, I'm a fan of the Lancer hybrids with the steel feed lips. 20 round "smoke" versions: translucent so you can see your rounds from any angle? That's pretty slick.

Haven't found them on sale, yet.

Re: Mag recommendation.

[tallhorse89]

Re: Mag recommendation.

do you guys mostly use 20s or 30s?

 

[brado16]

Re: Mag recommendation.

20s for my DPMS SASS 308, I believe they only make 30s for 5.56

 

[CohenJ87]

Re: Mag recommendation.

I would love a 30 rounder 7.62 pmag!

 

[gunfighter48]

Re: Mag recommendation.

All I use in 5.56 and 7.62 are Pmags. Haven't seen anything larger than 20 rounds for 7.62.

This. Pmags and don't look back.

Re: Mag recommendation.

Another vote for pmags. I'll try and find the link where they compare the pmags to a whole bunch of other ones for you.... with a truck. Wait one.

I have had no problems with the 30's, but the 20's I had gave me nothing but trouble in every gun I tried, so I do not use the 20's anymore. YMMV.

Re: Mag recommendation.

all i use for both 223 and 308 is pmags, never had any problems

Re: Mag recommendation.

PMags but with the clear windows

 

[Boss334OP]

Re: Mag recommendation.

PMAGs... Nuff said

 

[Ballistic Artist]

Re: Mag recommendation.

I didnt know anyone besides Magpul made AR mags...

PMAG

I wish they would make one for the AK and the M1A!!!!!!

WHEN!? WHEN GOD WILL IT HAPPEN?!!?? LoL

 

[yetigoode2]

Magpul

 

[tickled pink]

I bought these on sale for $26 with free shipping. I have used all six and can't imagine any others working any better, but I don't drive over them with a truck. I highly recommend them.

6 Thermold 20 - Rd. Mags With 3 Maglocks - 1140625, 16 - 20 Rounds at Sportsman's Guide

 

[svxwilson]

PRI if you want to have extra room in the mag for reloading purposes. I purchased one for the sole task of shooting 75gr Amax.

 

[msat10]

PMAGs are the best for ARs.

 

[mallrat]

+1 on the Pmags. I've got a couple thermolds that work fine, but the Pmags "feel" a little higher quality and I like the dust covers.

 

[mikenewgun87]

Pmags, lancers and usgis are used by military/leo/civilians for a reason...
