AR10 magazines

[5shank]

So now that I've decided that a Armalite Def 10 may very well be the best choice for my needs what's the best choice in mags? Not that crazy about Magpul and was leaning towards D&H but as usual I'm going to need a little help, what say the people in the know? Which ones are trouble free.

What's wrong with the Magpul mags? I run them without issue. The only other 762/308 mags I run are KAC magazines, and those aren't cheap.

I just like metal mags, have a bunch of Magpul AR15 mags and they have worked O.K. I'm just not sure that for hard use and long term ownership that they would be the best choice????

Magazines are disposable. Run them until you can't run them anymore or buy mag "repair kits". If you can burn through that many magazines in your lifetime due to that heavy a firing schedule I envy you. I'd stock up on shitload of PMAGs and run the piss out of them. I dig the appeal of metal mags, and there's not a shortage of those in my personal stash.

A little voice in the back of my head keeps telling me that .308 mags take a real beating with the increased weight of the ammo and recoil thus driving the bullet tips hard into the front of the mag? I've seen a fair share of junk mags but with the big AR I don't have a clue which ones are the ones to stock up on? I'm well aware that mags are Disposable Items, I'm also aware that my wallet has a bottom so if given the choice of equal quality I'll always chose metal

While I have admittedly not tried the current generation, two original D&H .308 mags I purchased were so large that they would not fit into the magazine well of a LWRC Repr Mk2 or SR25. D&H was also not responsive when I contacted them about the issue. I've used their AR mags sold through BCM for years but would steer clear of the .308 mags.

In the .308 AR game, the specs are all over the place so there are no guarantees for any mags. I would recommend using what the manufacture recommends for their rifles. Most will probably be P-Mags since most don't make their own mags, other than Larue and KAC.

10 and 20 round PMAGS have always run well in my 308 ARs.

I've got 6 old DPMS and C Products 20 round magazines, and they also work reliably, after I adjusted their feed lips a bit.

I have no desire to try Lancers since PMAGS work, for 1/2 the price (or way less than that for KAC).

Anyone try the Hexmag? ACS mags???(not sure on the last one)

Pmag 10's, 20's and 25's work fine in my Armalite DEF10 so I see no reason to try others.

Okay, I did consider getting some Brownells aluminum (I think they're aluminum?) but I saw too many poor reviews of them. Maybe they are better now I dunno.

Can't believe that Brownells would drop the ball so bad on their AR 10 style mags, I don't think I've ever read a postive thing about them? Wonder if Brownells feels the same way about their AR10 style mags as I do about the Detroit Lions!
