My year with Pmags

[taliv]

2 JAN??

I had 50 on back order since Nov. (from brownells)

Glad I have a crap load of Lancers and D&H USGI in my inventory with another 20 Lancers on route. Variety is key as the PMag isn't the mag to end all mags....

Bookmarked so I can follow the outcome. I have never seen that on any Pmags that I own or have used in others guns. I have never seen such a priceless $15 piece of plastic. I still use Colt USGI mags also though. Sounds like a Pmag inspection is in order.

Gotta love those backorders from brownells. Only thing I have got so far was the free catalog...lol Backorder from late Dec.

I've been 83.3% happy with my Cammenga EasyMags.

I've had a few PMAG's break on me. 1 was driven over twice with a B6 armorered Surburban in Iraq, 1 was dropped 3 times from the second story of our villa on its lips, 1 was shot twice with 7.62x39.

I've had over 300 PMAG's and those are my only failures.

Nothing man made is 100% but I have faith in PAMG's as far as mags go.

I wonder if this is why Lancer went with the steel feed lips...

This is interesting. I guess I have two questions, One is has Magpul ever issued a recall in regards to cracks like this for the Pmag? And second and probably the most important is what will happen if these become banned? Will they even be able to send us a replacement mag for a damaged one? If they are not able to and they start cracking it is a rather large waste of money. I have around 80 Pmags most of wish are just for future use and I use my USGI mags most often.

While I can see why you would say Mags are a wear item, I don think I agree. There are mags in service that have been around for decades and still work fine. Sure they probably have new springs but the mag themselves are fine.

Triad Tactical,

First of all, thanks for the feed back both here on the forum and direct.

Second, there were some changes in the molding process last year that corrected the cracking issue. Since the correction there have been a very limited number of PMAG's with this issue and most have been tracked to heavy abuse.

We have seen around .02% of the mags shipped in the last two plus years returned with cracking issues. Of this .02% we have replaced the bodies no questions asked.

We are always improving our process to ensure the highest quality product, no BS.

Cheers.
