When I went to Fairbanks it was in the 20's. I tried but we never had a Cold snap. I will try again this winter. I have been using these mags for everything and abusing them as much as possible and they are still going strong.

Yeah, Darkop was the biggest guy there -- and a darned good shot, too.
I've used my PMags at -21 indicated this past winter near Glennallen specifically to see if they would function and break. No issues feeding or dropping free at that temp in either my Bushmaster, Essential Arms or Mega lowers. I flipped the weapon clockwise smartly as Sensei Costa instructed at our July class here in Anchorage. They flew and flew far but did not break as the smacked themselves empty and partially full onto the ice, snow and exposed gravel. I used black, FDE and FG magazines for this test. No OD, sorry.
Another gent from another firearms related forum (Alaska Cajun or perhaps UAF Grad) had posted YouTube videos running the PMags through their paces in Fairtown when the mags were introduced with similar results.
I do wish I'd had the presence of mind to flip the covers off the PMags when running the test. Not that it really matters, but it would be worth knowing. A few mags from each weapon was enough with thin Home Depot work gloves for my fingers at twenty below.
