TangoDown ARC mags/First Impressions

[pinkejon]

I experienced all of these problems, and have watched numerous other shooters have the same problems. I had resigned these magazines to the "no way in hell" pile.

Then I got some new ones from TD for evaluation, and they are all marked "MK2" on the side. Man what a difference!

You can read more about the difference, and see pictures, and my findings, here.

disreguard my prev post..

I received the new ones that are marked MK2 on the side and, so far, I have had none of the previous issues. I've only put a couple hundred rounds through them though.

Interestingly enough, when I manipulate the charging handle on an empty magazine, the bolt won't lock back to the rear. When actually firing the last round, it locks back. It only happens with the FDE ones though. The black ones run like a champ. I have a BAD lever that I am trying out on the rifle that I was using. I haven't tried them in a rifle without the BAD.
