    A reason we need magpul magazine caps

    I put two gen. 3 thirties together with the magpul clamp. Loaded them up to 30 rounds. Stuck it in the gun and threw it into the trunk.

    A few days later I looked again: the unused mag's top round had worked itself loose and was protruding. In a shoot-storm this could be a problem.

    So I put the magazine cover on. Now no problem

    Another option: https://www.brownells.com/magazines/...prod27533.aspx

    Or you could go the LAV route and use duck tape and cardboard to make your mag coupler. The flexibility keeps the rounds from jumping out under recoil.

    Or you could just run a D60 for your initial load out.

    Many of the MagPul mags I have pop the cover off after a few days if left full.
    I down load mags by two now, solved that issue

    The top round of any mag can become dislodged depending on what it comes into contact with. That being said I have a couple loaded Lancers in my truck that haven't lost a round or had any rounds that moved. They are stored in a bag that doesn't move or bounce around in my truck.

    Or you could use a Redi-mag to hold the second magazine instead of a mag coupler.

    ETA, MorphCross beat me to it:

    Or you could just secure the mag and not have it roll around in the trunk

    I’ve noticed pmags have a tendency to let rounds cross or pop out more than GI mags or lancers
