Correction 1 feeds15 but other on 14 , when I tryed to feed the 15 th in , it spread the feed lip apart . What's up with that? Ammo was AE black box
 
bawhawhawhaw did the OP get banned for starting this thread? maybe because he listed his mags for sale in the EE.
 
Range report: They cycled 14 just fine. Had to really jam them in on closed bolt. I may have to run with 13, but that still frees up some belt real-estate and reduces the number of mag changes per stage. The plastic doesn't feel as sturdy as the one used in pmags and I wouldn't trust these mags should the zombies come knockin', but they're just fine for range toys. I'd probably drop them on my foot if doing any downrange shooting on hard surfaces and wouldn't pay more than $15 a pop for those had there been any alternatives on the market.

My exact thoughts as well. They are a 15$ mag a best but the demand makes them 50$ mags. I bought a couple to try, will not be buying more. I will try and unload them when the ATRS ones are done like others have stated. I much prefer my ATRS ones
 
ok I was wondering if you got in trouble for listing your mags in the EE. I almost was going to do the same. not too happy with the quality but I have yet to use them so we'll see.
 
Had mine at the range last night. Same as my above post. Both fit 15, one had to be pushed in with a little force fully loaded. Everything chambered and fed properly. Ran through both mags without issue. As for cost? It is what it is, and still cheaper than the AA mags. I would love to get my hands on the ATRS mags. When they return, and I'm quick enough on the draw, I'll buy some of those too. I will agree about the quality though, if there were alternatives, I would pay $15-$20 for them. Stupid Supply and Demand!
 
Just wanted to give you guys the heads up that these mags fed reliably at a match I shot yesterday. I loaded the first one at 14 and the other 2 (being inserted on closed bolt) at 13... Worked like a charm.
 
I haven't made it to the range yet but I just tried mine out, loading, test fit, drop test empty and full, feed the first rnd etc.

The mags fit and drop empty as expected, they will not drop when full as the fit is too snug to release, I suspect that will change with some use and a bit of wear. They will take 15 rnds but you must be precise with placement as it seemed the first would take 15 no problem but the other three would not. A bit of inserting and re-inserting rnds made all 15 fit but I see that the lips do open up a bit if you are not placing each rnd exactly flush and the follower makes some snapping sounds as you are getting the 14 and 15th rnd in. The bolt released into battery will slam home the first rnd.

They fit OK into Double Tacos on my battle belt but getting them out is slow as there is not a lot to grab onto, I'll have to adjust the elastic cords that tension the fit. They disappear into the pouches on my PIG chest rig if I'm not careful so I won't store them anywhere but on the belt.

It's nice emptying three boxes of Dirty Bird into only 4 mags.:)

From what I've seen there are not many police officers who are in to guns and I think you would be more likely to come across an officer who thinks that rifles take 5 and handguns take 10, end of story.

+1. You have a higher chance of encountering a police officer who has never set foot in a Tim Horton's then one who even knows what a .50 Beowulf is.
 
I have 2 of the original ones, and 3 of the new ones.

The original ones were a bit tight in my T97, and I had to spend a bit of time working them in.....eventually they loosened up and are fine now. They have fed about 2000 rounds flawlessly through my 2 AR's and my T97. I typically only load 10 rnds in them and they are a joy to load....very easy. My LAR mags are alot tighter and if I have the choice I always use the PCV mags over my orange follower LAR mags.

I just received the 3 new style ones and have not had a chance to use them or even fit test them yet, but they look and feel fine just like the originals.
 
I suppose I should chime in.
I bough three Pcv-50 mags.
Spent all day at the range with them today. Shot through 200+ rounds of 223
Mags are awesome, but I almost felt like a criminal busting off all 14 rounds of pleasure followed by two more mags of the same thing. Nobody seemed to care or notice.

They don't drop free but I suspect they will with time. No feed issues, these are the bomb diggity.

That's my review, now quote me and complain about my grammar and slang useage in typical cgn fashion.
 
Are there any Mag pull accessories that fit these? I don't think Magpul themselves make anything, Press Check doesn't either. Does any one else? Is there a mod to do on any pull device currently made that we can do on our own?
