How Do You Mark Your Magazines?

[17K]

Grn3 Pmags, silver or yellow paint marker in the dot matrix on the black mags, sand and MCT, black sharpie.

G.I. mags, any color paint marker.

I always think back to some guy on TOS years back who said sarcastically... he puts the mags in the bath tube and pees on them to mark them with scent.

I use silver sharpies on black Magpul magazines. I use black on tan ones. USGI mags I use orange paint pens.

Wow, guess i should've been more specific in my first post.

I use silver sharpies on my Battlemags after ruffing them up a bit.

I use gold sharpies on my USGI mags and surefire 60s.

I took some number stencils and a can of spray paint a few years back. Works well enough.

For training classes, I will also wrap with blaze orange tape and write name on it.

Sharpie
Blue/black for fde
Metallic silver for black

Same here. And black on any magazine that has enough contrast. Same for silver sharpie.

My day is complete. I remember that from about 10 years back.

Clear Lancers get black sharpie. GI aluminum and black PMags get silver metallic Sharpie.

Rattlecan camo, plus initials and numbers in Sharpie or paint marker. Previously, I have used "battle roster numbers", call signs, letters A-G, etc, and some of those mags are still in rotation or semi retired. Markings typically go both on baseplate and the left side of the mag. I still have a few sentimental mags with the markings on green duct tape, and the gray having a brassy hue.

A mag that has a probable mag related malf gets a "T" or a Sharpie/Paint pen stripe in a groove (where it can't wear off). I have also spray painted some orange or red for the same reason. Second strike warrants destruction.

Mags are consumable.
