Well I found the original receipt from HK...nothing about a warranty. this also disproves the original rep thinking these came from HKparts....

I will call again tomorrow...

I thought it looked different than their latest translucent mag but comparing the pics it was just a weird angle. How much did you use that mag?

I've got a few myself and did come from hkparts.

Talked with HK customer service again...the rep understood and was willing to give me a discount on a steel mag, but I told him not to worry about it...I did appreciate his help.... took a hammer to the damaged mag and it took 5 to 6 tries to break it..lol

Better off with steel. They look cool but do not last in temperature extremes. So far Magpul is the only polymer mag that can handle the temps in my region and I would not even waste my time on a transparent mag. I have a friend who has HKs and he has a bin of broken mags. Pretty sad HK does not warranty them longer than a year, this on itself is a dead giveaway to their intended lifespan. I love HK MP subs but we always used steel mags. If I remember correctly the UMP has a polymer mag that had to be revised with steel reinforcement fees lips due to fiber polymer weakness. Hopefully HK figures it out or at least buys Magpul mags.

Have you tried loading the rounds backwards? Maybe they'll stay in that way.


Sorry, couldn't resist.

They have a new ploymer mag, but they aren't bringing it to the US...hopefully that changes if its worthy.

Actually, the new HK polymer mag is available here and now! However, @ $60 a pop, the juice certainly ain’t worth the squeeze. Magpul M3’s are $12 a pop & GI mags are even cheaper and honestly, both of those are probably better.

It's not official though. For instance, you can't buy them from hkparts.net. That's why they have the premium price tag.

No, but they have all the official HK parts. It isn't even an option.

I have four of the HK them and I have used them numerous times over the years. Not for HD but for gun range use. I have not used them for like four years but kept loaded with 28 rounds. I have loaded them with LC 09 XM193 rounds and store them in plastic MTM Ammo crates.

I use colored tape to show what rounds are loaded. Yellow 55gr, blue 62gr or 64gr Gold Dots JSP. Green for 62gr LAP. Red for 77gr rounds.
