    This. The tapcos are GTG. The Gen 2's have the metal band at the top.
    If you can't win a gun fight against a lightly-trained individual during broad daylight with 88 rounds of 30-06, I'm not sure you'd be able to do it with... any other firearm.

    Ok, I've got an El Camino full of rampage here, so what's the plan?

    Ok, I will be hitting the range tomorrow with a couple of Ruger 20s and 30s. The ten rounders I bought were listed as OEM Ruger mags. But are not labeled Ruger.

    It's been 3 years how did it go?

    I got a Mini 5.56 myself. 😎

    Only plan on using factory mags but I also found and got a Gen 2 Tapco. They are out of buisness now.

    The only ones to bet your life on are factory 20s. Even the factory 30s are hit or miss.

    Still no problem with factory 20’s and 30’s for me. The Tapco’s I have both had feed issues. I had to file down the inside of the front of them to get the round to stop stove piping. They seem to work fine now.

    Back in the day Thermold and Eagle (with the constant force spring) 35rd mags worked great both in my Mioni-14 and in an acquaintances the full auto AC556 I got to play with. I never had any issue with them. Nor did the owner of the AC556.

    They're in line. I remember after the AWB expired, throwing away my Thermold and USA Magazines mags, and buying the factory 20s for $25.

    I may have mentioned this above, but the 20s are the bet-your-life ones. The factory 30s are hit or miss.

    The above ad was from January 2018.

    Did those MGW 90 round side-drums ever work?

    I only knew one guy who had one. He said it did.

    I have an AC556. Both the factory 20's and 30's run without issue in it.
