    I'm "in theater" and using P-Mags. I have shot them through over and over again with ZERO problems.

    What is issued versus what is allowed are very different entities. I would still like to know your source that states that mil mags must have metal feedlips.
    There are lots of PMAGs being used by mil personnel.
    I am one of them .

    I definately do not see the Cammenga ever becoming an issued item (to bring this thread back on line), nor would I allow it's use in anything other than training if one of my guys showed up with them.

    Not implying the Cammenga Mag. will be and issue military item, but the DOD has asked Lancer System to develop their L5 Mags. to meet their requirments and they are being field tested and they the DOD did ask that the L5 Mag. have metal feed lips.

    As for "your" guys showing up with the Cammenga Mag. I have no idea what that part of your post means.

    I think i'll pass. it looks like it will take you just as long to load that thing than an actual mag by hand! I use the 5 round mag loader and its GTG.

    +1 here, i dont get all the attempts to fix something that isnt broke, stripper clips and spoons are imo the best way to load mags, and its fast. better than any loaders i've seen, more parts to break on this mag but whatever you want i recon i've quit trying to teach people things i've learned. everyone knows a guy who knows more than me.

    I was given 3 of them to run they now have tape on them marked dummy rounds only


    they are sharp edges on mine at least...
    the floorplate area on the slide point would override and need to be slammed on hard surface to get it back in place i have been able to launch 1-3rounds out of the unit when its not filled to capacity

    No thanks.. i have about 20 L mags i have been testing so far good to go .

    they need to remove the ridge that is on there mag it interfers with release of the mag from pouches on my rav and my wilderness and eagle.

    I have addressed this issue to them as well.

    as for easymags there 2 expensive and heavy

    They are heavy because they are made of a thick tough metal not made from old beer cans or from injection molded scrap empty coke containers. Expensive yep good stuff is costly. Junk Mags you can buy for around $10/14 dollars.

    Steve knows his shit (just ask Pat Rogers about him )...and the Cammenga mags are junk. I've seen Steve's "dummy round" mags in action. Pmags are tops and the L5 mags are almost as good as the Pmags.
