    I have seen a lot of Brownell's Magazines in use on the range. They ran fine unless someone stomped on one or the magazine landed on the concrete and bent the feed lips. For stateside use, they should work fine.

    I use Brownell mags also although it should be noted that myself & others have had issues with the Magpul followers sticking in the more recent (post SH) batches of Brownell mags. This was at least as of a few months ago.

    Thanks for the heads up. I am going to notify the ordnance people at our primary training facility.

    Sure, no problem. There's a thread around here somewhere addressing it. They we're getting stuck about an inch from the feed lips. I was able free mine just by working it back & forth but I also only use those particular mags at the range. I think others were shaving down part of the follower to free it up. I'm not actually aware if Brownells has been notified of the issue, maybe it's already been corrected. Just so people are aware of it possibly happening in case they swap out the followers.

    Sure, they're bulky and made by Tapco. But they've also been relatively reliable, in their limited role. And, being range mags, they probably have the most actual use holding and dispensing bullets.

    I doubt they fit in any magazine pouches (base is really wide), or stand up to a MRAP running over it, and cool guys with beards don't use them ... but they allow me to keep my Lancers and USGI's NIW until I need them.
    Personal preference here: I wouldn't keep my go-to mags new in the wrapper until I needed them. Mags are one of those things you should be trying out, individually, before trusting them

    PS: We've been able to get USGI mags, with magpul followers, brand new for $8-$9 each, shipped, recently...and PMAGs fro $10 each + shipping

    I hear you. I have about 15 other mags that get used for a few cycles, then stashed. I just have a few go-to mags until I wear thm out. These havent yet.

    Bought them two years ago. Plenty of Brownell, lancer, pmag and PSA brand mags as well since then.

    I used we in the general sense.

    Palmetto State Armory has had 10 packs of D&H mags with Magpul followers for $87 shipped for awhile recently, and DSG Arms has had 3 packs of Gen3 30 round PMAGs for $30 plus shipping.

    I don't think either of those specific deals are available at this minute.

    The point is high quality AR mags have been very available for awhile now, there's very little need to use sub-par mags while leaving the good ones sitting around in plastic.

    Follow this thread as one way to keep an eye on mag availability:

    You may also want to put your email in here to be notified if/when DSG has these back in stock
