Mags that will reliably feed M855A1

[ABNAK]

Reliably meaning without damage to the barrel extension. So far I have these:

EPM mags (FDE with blue followers)

Magpul Gen 3

Okay SureFeed E2



Any I'm missing?

There's an implied question in there... who has M855A1 outside mil channels?

It's around if you're willing to pay $2-3 per round.

M855A1 causing damage to feed ramps was basically fake news. You can find the thread on lightfighter still but basically someone took some photos way out of context and it blew up into something completely false.

Shit, I blew Dr Pepper out my nose when one site (NOT CheaperThanDirt) was asking over a buck a round for greentips and a buck-fifty for Mk 262...

I don’t have numbers and data to support this, but USGI with green follower, Surefeed gen 1, USGI w Magpul follower, PMag gen 1,2,3, all work in my experience, at similar reliability to M855.

Since the Okay Surefeed E2 has been mentioned, I obtained some of these, new in the wrapper, but haven't used them. From the pictures I have seen, they angle the round higher up, seemingly to avoid contact with the lower area of the feed ramp. I don't see this as a problem, but how would they work for XM193 or even normal M855?

Yep. That said, like just about anything else now it's largely unobtanium at any price.

That should enhance feeding of just about any 5.56 round.

Depends. If you are using rifles without the "M4 style feed ramps" you can have issues, which I have witnessed. To the point some of the courses I've been to specify you should only be using the new EPM or Gen3 Gen3 PMAGs, with a serious emphasis on the latter choice, in any rifle that lacks the extended ramps.
