Does not dis-assemble for cleaning?

A quick blast with compressed air through the upside-down ported follower clears any small dust or dirt debris inside the body. Carbon coating due to extended suppressor use is easily cleaned with a hot soapy dunk and magazine brush (sold separately), then rinsed and left upside down to dry.
Not seeing the advantage or wisdom.Quote:

The closed bottom box should be stronger than any of the traditional open bottom designs. If that actually makes for a practical advantage is the question.Quote:

Exactly.Quote:

Swing & a miss...I'll stay with 8 dollar gen2 Pmag perfection.
I'll go a little more for M3's... I'm trying to keep a matched set of "2 combat loads plus a third dedicated training" for each iron... and once we get Pedo Bob and his mag ban bent over the bench at SCOTUS (be real, we KNOW what WA Supremes are gonna say, they're a rubberstamp) I need to get at least one more set of windowed MCT to match the M4, one more D&H/GI-type for the C8 and three sets of four D&H/GI for the ASDW unless USAF has switched to PMAG too. (In a tight-squeeze survival kit, GI are a bit more compact.)Quote:

40's are great for that with armor on.
I have really embraced the mag-as-a-monopod TTP lately, it works extremely well.
I would probably choose the new Lancer L5AWM *Gen 2* mags over this new and improved VLTOR mag and will probably pick up 6 or 7 of the Gen 2 20rd mags when they become available in June.

Excellent way to get a solid zero on your gun.Quote:

Yeah. If anything, you might see a shot off by an inch or two at 300 based on how your head is positioned on the rifle, but you'd never really notice for quick shooting. A bigger POI shift for me was prone vs standing. Even with nose to charging handle in both positions, my zero seemed to be different.Quote:
