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.

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...

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

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?

That should enhance feeding of just about any 5.56 round.

Ammo requiring a specific mag is worth dog balls to me.

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.

I bought 10 of the Surefeed E2 magazines and I have shot XM193 just fine. I like the texture of magazines as well. I also have shot 60 rounds of Gold Dot JSP which also shoot fine. That was before the quarantine. I did go to the indoor range a few times and I shoot M193 rounds now since Gold Dot JSP are hard to come by now.
