    I was impressed by the durability of the magazine as seen in the video but again, that doesnt really prove all THAT much in the grand scheme of things.

    Here's a question for a guy that shoots at the range and the closest he will ever come to combat is when watching a movie.

    What does that magazine do that the pmag at half the price doesnt?

    Is unloading magazines by stripping individual rounds really that much of a hassle?

    Not if you buy the $3 universal mag tool. On the rare occasions that I need to offload a mag, I just use that little gun show gadget.

    Thumbs down

    No thanks.

    I am fully happy with my Mk 1 Mod 0 thumb or stripper clips and a spoon. No reason to further complicate the system.

    Well I placed and order for one from AIMsurplus to give it a go. What I like about it and the new Lancer System L5 Mags is they have metal feed lips and the feed lips are very important in a Mag. your going take into a fight.

    I have a bunch of Magpul P-Mags and they work very well but they don't have metal feed lips.

    From what I read the military still requires metal feed lip in the AR Mags they buy.

    group buy

    They had a group buy option at AR15.com in conjunction with Rainier Arms for these. It was limited to 300 units and they were asking $24.95 instead of the usual $42.00. May or may not still be on but worth a shot.

    I'll be sticking with PMags....

    I think a Lula is a lot more practical than this thing to the average civilian shooter. To guys who get their M855 in bandoleers and on stripper clips (read professional types) it's a no-brainer.

    I saw a drop test for a lancer magazine from five feet onto concrete, no damage to the feed lips.

    Anyone done anything like this with a pmag? Given how notoriously tough the pmags are i cant imagine the feed lips would be damaged in a fall.

    Good point about the metal feed lips by the way, i hadnt thought about that.

    Metal feed-lip requirement? Uncle Sugar buys whatever the guy behind the computer types in. I have never seen a specific requirement for metal feed-lips, so if you have a reference I would greatly appreciate it.

    There are lots of PMags in theatre right now, with no complaints that I am aware of. Feedlip damage kills aluminium an steel mags pretty easy.

    I have personally beaten a PMag to destruction. You can see what I did to it here- Abusing a PMag
    Stickman did too. His pictures are waaay better. PMAGs Tested Beyond Destruction

    Magpul P-Mags are super good Mags. But our US military are not supplying them in any combat theatre or war zone. They are being used by non US military there and are given good reviews.
