    I know a Delton that has way more rounds through it than your hobby BCM, at least 50. Gotta hit the range a few more times to beat that.

    But the AR-platform Magpul PMAG is without a doubt the most overengineered AR15 magazine ever made.

    Period.

    Prove me wrong.
    I have a a lot of PMags, both in
    AR-15 and SR-25. However when I find them on sale, I will buy Lancer mags over PMags in a NY second. I think the metal lips are a solid design improvement. Besides who doesn’t like metal lips? I do. I love ‘em.

    I know people who swear by Buick but don't want a cheap Chevrolet Ford is good Mercury sucks . Others will tell you you should get a Dodge because there 6 speed is a lot tougher than Chevrolet 6 speeds . Most parts interchange from B to -C & FTP M ( made in same plant) and I don't know about this year but for years the only difference between a Dodge and Chevy 6 speed is the parts # a lot of AR owners are of the same mentality . If it makes them feel superior that they paid. $ 2,000 for brand x so be it . As long as my ARP 6.8s and AR parts 223w s on Anderson uppers and lowers shoot 1/2-3/4 moa at 200 I'm happy with my elcheapo junk . Just imagine how small my groups would be if I had $2,000 optics instead of junk $200 optics .

    It's like the guy who lives in a foreign country and has never learned the language. He goes into a restaurant with a group of associates, and looking to impress certain members of their entourage, he orders the most expensive item on the menu, not realizing that he's ordered Balut with a side of Casu Marzu and washing it all down with an aged baby mice wine. He's the guy who assumes the most expensive is always the best. That doesn't hold true in most restaurants and it doesn't always hold true with AR's.

    This is the funniest Freudian slip I have seen in a ling time. Makes me wonder how much people actually do put real round counts through their junk, not saying you don't Easy. I have around 2,500 through my V7 and overgassed or not it hasn't had one failure at all. I wonder at what count can you consider a rifle truly reliable?

    It's a paradox.

    I drive a computer for a living, and I ain't assaulting beaches on the weekend, so by definition, all my rifles are hobby rifles.

    Also gun people are mostly a-holes...

    “ I’ve got over 300 rnds through my (garbage rifle), and its flawless” -TOS, TFB comments section, gun stores

    Everytime I see or hear something like that, I get mad and strangle a mythical creature. Ever wonder why you’ve never seen a unicorn? Or why the Easter bunny hasn’t been coming around? Because people don’t actually shoot their rifles before proclaiming them to be “flawless”. And of course, they don’t get them dinged up and beat on, either. Flawless.

    A Freudian slip it was not. I was working on my AR15 specific stand up routine.

    All ARs are hobby grade.

    If you're serious about making through the mudpocalypse and following Waterworld in which you will have to be a combat diver able to fire your weapon under water in order to survive, you need an AK.
