    Is this a common with Pmags ???

    Just wondering i have a Pmag that when full shoots ammo across the range, when filled with 30 rounds and you give a slap to the bottom of the mag ammo spits out. this also happens when only loaded with 28,26,24,22 rnds and so on.
    is it the feedlips ?? and if so how well is Mapuls cust service ?? i have heard these ar supose to be one of the best mags to have. none of my other Mags have done this And would magpul even warranty an issue like this ??


    THANKS GUYS

    how old is the mag? i'd just chuck it and unwrap the next in line.

    look at the spine near the top- i'm betting you have a little crack there

    Mag has maybe 90 rds thru it , I don't see any small cracks or fractures

    then its possible its just a crappy mag... 90 rounds is still brand new. discard and unwrap another, or call magpul if you feel ripped off for $14

    rereading the post-

    slapping the mag while the bolt is open can make them spit rounds- but this can happen with any mag. i assume you're only having this problem with one mag specifically? how hard are you slapping it? when the bolt's open, a firm push is really all you should give it- slapping is for reloading on a closed bolt.

    Not that hard of slap really , i might slap it a little harder if watching the playboy channel but lol, but no on a open bolt just seating the mag with a normal mag insert this has happened , yeah and i wish i could find pmags for $ 14 at one of the local stores. They charge more like 20 to 22 $ for standred pmags and if you order anywere then there is the S&H but anyway thanks for the help

    My Lancer 30rd mags do the same but it's normal I guess from reading. Give Magpul a call Monday. I'm pretty positive they'll make it right.

    Slapping the bottom of the mag is not the proper technique.

    Use the push/pull method to insert the mag.
