How are the PMAG feed lips holding up LONG TERM?
PMAGS have been out long enough to have some feedback regarding FEED LIP durability and structural integrity...
My concern is with LONG TERM storage of LOADED (30-rounds) PMAGS and the effect on the feed lips. I've seen the IN USE feedback by those in the sandbox, but no feedback on MY NEEDS yet...
Basically, I have an "Oh Crap!" rig set up with tried, trusted and tested PMAGS loaded with 30-rds. This rig sits above my safe and is only for emergency use, therefore it could very well sit for a YEAR or more UNTOUCHED (I check it every winter or so or when I take a Carbine class...). Since it is for emergency use I DO NOT leave the PMAG cap on, plus it would be tough to slip into a TT pouch with the cap on, which is why I wonder about the feed lip integrity. It is just plastic after all...
Yes, I could use my USGI mags (the rig previously did hold my best USGI mags), but I have grown to trust the PMAGS but long term feedback is still coming in... Plus, I don't want to rotate mags... I'm just a civvy that has this rig for bumps in the night... The purpose of this rig is to be READY with trusted gear when needed. Or am I crazy to switch USGI for PMAG in this role?
Any PMAG beta-testers out there with feedback?
