MSAR Clear AR mags in stock

[jonythebeast]

I was wondering a few things.
First are there any left in stock? (Black/OD/amber).
What hours can I get a hold of you guys by phone.
Is the deal of buy 5 get one free still on, and if we buy 5 are they still priced at $19.50.
And does anyone have any data points on the reliability of these magazines in ar-15/tavor/xcr firearms?

I don't like a few of the things I am reading about these mags.

I dislike that some of them drop free, while others do not.

I also dislike the number of problems people seem to be reporting with stiff first rounds on them

Seems like inconsistant manufacturing or multiple batches.

I will hold off until I get some more reviews of these guys.

The DAR lower I show has a tight magwell. I haven't tried them in other guns yet.They may fall free from others.
Havent tried snap caps in yet. I will let you know.

The date codes of the mags place them as old/dead stock from the old incarnation of MSAR. So they will exhibit the same problems in the link I posted. I don't think the new MSAR is making mags, if so, hopefully they are using newer/better molds. The drop free issue was the biggest problem with these mags, due to molding problems. Again it was hit or miss. I called Dlask, and the lady I spoke with indicated that they have had "some" problems with the coloured mags, but that the clear/amber ones are "mostly" okay... they also assured me that they will refund or exchange any problem mags.

I have to use quite a bit of force to even get them seated in my AR properly, let alone dropping free. At first i didn't even think they were going to fit, I was pressing so hard :s

Sounds like the rivet is too tight, not allowing the usual 5.5 cartridges, but somthing less.

Its not a PMAG

Well the mags are hard to seat in the gun when they are empty. I would imagine if the 5 rounds were jammed in the mag it would be even harder to seat in the gun.

Rivet may need to be filed down a bit?

That is bad news.

For all I know, it could just be a bad batch.

From the evidence I have heard so far, it is just another manufacterer making middle qualitty mags of various final qualities, but comparing them to the industry standard. And this is just from the handful for responses on this thread alone.

Not looking good.
