Well after having to endure some of the winter, I'm starting to have my doubts about needing the magpul trigger guard. I've been fine using gloves and the factory trigger guard. A bigger problem was getting use to shooting the gun wih heavy gloves.
Another thing I've found is that for my uses is that mobil 1 5W-30 seems to work good. I've gone out rabbit shooting with my m4 in sub-zero days and it functioned fine. I will note though that I wasn't out longer than 45 minutes, because by that time the rabbits were gone, so the gun wasn't really subjected to the cold temps.

I thought you guys already did the "what color pmag is better" thread? LOL. Anyway, It doesn't get too cold here either. We do have negative wind chills, but I don't think that will affect too much.
I cant even imagine shooting in subzero temps.
The coldest I've ever experianced on a shoot is about 15 degrees during blizzard like conditions. My 6920 took it in stride. CLP was all I used as usual
Recently I had the LWRC out in 25 degree weather. Also worked well.

What Happened to the American dream? It came true. You're looking at it.
The coldest I have ever shot was -30 below. We were shooting a pistol qualification. It was good for the guys as they found out that things don't always work right in the cold. Things like jackets getting caught up in holsters gloves that were too big to shoot with ect.

Alaskapopo,
Any more testing with the PMAGs in extreme cold? I don't think it is a possibility for me in my present location, but a couple of years ago I was working nights in Montana with -40 temperatures and I might go somewhere cold again. Also, it was mentioned that certain PMAG colors might be more tough than others. Any truth to this?
