I have used both the PRI mags and the CProducts mags extensively. I have had excellent reliability and durability with both. The early, steel follower of the PRI mags were troublesome, but they fixed those by going to the Magpul follower. I have found that the bodies of the PRI mags are slightly rust prone when not properly cared for. I have found that the springs in the CProducts mags are very rust prone even beyond the typical surface rust occasionally found on chrome silicon springs.

Both companies seem to have an excellent rep for customer service and standing behind the reputation and performance of their products.

All that being said, I only use the CProducts mags now. They have excellent reliability combined with a very attractive price. I still own a 10 round and a 15 round PRI mag, but only because CProducts doesn't make them.

You will not go wrong with either one, but at half the price I choose CProducts.

Sure wish CProducts would make a 15 round 6.8 SPC mag. At $40+ a pop for the PRI mags, my (2) 6.8 ARs feel very deprived having to share 5 mags.

I second that request.

I have also had very good luck with my PRI 15 rounders, after the sticker-shock. YMMV.

I would make the request directly to Larry. He has been very open to such suggestions in the past.

I like the Barrett 6.8 mags the best.

I personally would be interested in 20+ 15 rounds 6.8 mags. I know its a small number compared to what CP is actually producing, but what quantity would be need to do a special run? Anyone have an idea?

CP made a run of 1000 stainless 20rd mags, so I bet you could get a run of 15 round mags if you could scare up enough people to buy that many or close to it.
