A reason we need magpul magazine caps

We're about four posts from duct taping plates to bare skin to catch rounds while the supermodel girlfriend assembles the takedown rifle.

First, this thread got hilarious real quick. I'm not talking about someone's idea of preparedness or what the best solution to OP's problem is, but some of the responses were very funny. Anyways...


I used to have this problem until I noticed that some of the flash in the dust cover notches needed to be removed. I used the tip of a pocket knife. Now they all stay closed (too well, in some cases) with 30.

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

I agree with this, as I've ditched the couplers a few years ago for the very same reason as OP along with not liking the extra weight. The Redi-mag is good but, again, I just don't like the extra weight. To each his own.

Or skip that coupled together nonsense, this ain’t Nam.

IME, without a dust cover, the rounds start moving forward and fall out. If you don't have good anti-tilt it can go south real quick (besides losing rounds as you fire). I've even had coupled GI mags do this. Now, the duct-taped upside-down 'Nam method actually works if you don't mind having a two foot mag hanging out from under your carbine. I don't, so I don't.

Survivor Systems stocks have a second mag pocket too. I’ve gone that route, but I’ll admit I have a couple mag couplers put together in a box, and I should try shooting them to see how that issue goes.

On the real two way shooting range, the gang doesnt just stand there and let you tap 'em with 12 rounds apiece, well placed or otherwise. In such situations you can fire a lot of ammo. Google Sherman Street Shootout.

No fair that the guy used an AK clone....that is blasphemous on this site...lol

Sounds like a scene from Range 15 sequel....

Excellent.

Most excellent.

I could see changing a tire, trunk is open with more or less immediate access to trunk gun. But could honestly NGAF is secondary mag has a popped round or not. IF, and that is a big IF, something so dramatic happens that I can not alter the motivation of my attacker (s) with the first 30 rounds out of my carbine then the least of the problems I'm going to have is snatching a loose round out of a coupled magazine before I insert a mag of 29 rounds.

I use covers on the few loaded Pmags I keep inside the closet mounted "safe" in my bedroom because they were free and Magpul says they take the pressure off the feed lips.

I also use them when I stick an extra 5rd Pmag 10 in my pocket when hunting, etc.
