    Well I've dumped about 1K rounds through two of 'em so far. No issues at all (surprise huh?).

    It seems like they're easier to seat on a closed bolt with 30 rounds and I like the over-insertion tab. I occasionally get a little carried away with mag changes..

    I like 'em and I'm usually adverse to change, but I just sold all my usin' mags (M2 pmags and NHMTGs) and will run these exclusively for the foreseeable future.

    I don't plan on attending any normal type classes this year, so I don't need a bunch of mags to keep up with everyone so I'm gonna use the two I started with just to get as many rounds as I can through each one.

    They will stay fully loaded 24/7 without the covers in place. The covers don't snap to the bottom of the mag anymore and I'm not trying to keep up with 'em...

    samuse,

    Appreciate the feedback bud. I am assuming you used the non-windowed version. Reason being that according to Magpul's website the windowed version DOES include the dust cover.

    http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG556/PMAG

    Correct? Me being a fan of the dust cover (can't hurt anything) and the windowed version I am glad to see the cover still being included. IF my findings are correct.

    ETA: Just reread your post and it stated you will store them WITHOUT the covers in place. Sooooo I may assume you have the windowed PMAGS? Reason for this question is because I remember asking Duane earlier in this thread about the dust covers and he specifically stated that the new mags (assuming standard non windowed version) would not have the dust covers. And please don't take this post as trying to give you a hard time Duane if you read this.

    ALL M3 mags have the dust covers.

    The M2, or now MOE, versions will no longer come with dust covers. M3's do.

    Yep...unless I was dyslexic in another post...all versions GEN M3 = covers, all versions GEN M2/MOE = no covers.

    I have non-windowed M3 mags.

    They come with covers but the covers do not clip onto the bottom of the mag, meaning you have to find somewhere else to put 'em...

    Yeh, apologize to all. My brain fart last night was ^this^.

    For some reason I got the issue of not being able to clip the covers to the bottom with them not working at all on the mags. I'll shut up now and just wait for mine to come in.
