Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.
I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

I would hope this isn't a case where people are talking without actual knowledge or from having seen/ used/ handled one. I'm also aware of the "shill factor" which tends to be present in the online weapon forums.
That being said, if there is an actual issue that was some how missed by everyone else, I would like to know what it is.

That's not what I'm saying. The pmag, in addition to others, do cause the BHO to slightly raise. That's been proven.
Magpul also publicly said that they have yet to see a reported or confirmed case, military and civilian, of a pmag causing damage to a SCAR bolt.
It was all conjecture and worry fanned by the internet.
Where is the damage? All he did was show a video illustration that corresponds to all the pictures floating around.
I'll be glad to change my tune if anyone can show confirmed damage. Again, for all the .mil and civilian SCARs out there, no one has proven this to be a legitimate problem. Supposition turned into fact because it kept getting repeated.
I particularly enjoyed his Windham video
ETA: Not making those silly faces at you FTN but rather the video. All he did was a make a video of something another guy already pointed out. Its just guesses but somehow turned into fact.

The sand down guy, Wagnasty, is known as Dr. Dremel and he was the first guy I knew to make a PMag lower for the 17. Airborne. Those guys have no respect...
The Handl alloy lower is testing out pretty good. There are reports of some bolt catch and mag catch issues, but they seem remote. The FDE Handl in not anodized, but coated. Alan Handl seems like a good guy.
There is another alloy lower due next year from Jim Elmazi, former DSA guy who engineered the SA58 lower. It has a few more features than the Handl like an AR grip geometry, QD mounts and will be anodized.
PMags are not recommended for use in the 16. This is fully vetted. If you need proof, go shooting with your SCAR. They are terrible.
