I know, this is getting insane. For the love of God, someone bring in some 9mm AR magazines that work!
If we could even get some decent 5/32 (or 5/whatever) magazines that actually worked, that would at least be a start. 10/32 mags would be fantastic, but it is starting to feel like a fantasy right about now. No more of them have come into the country for some time now, and anybody that has them is not selling them. The half dozen "WTB" adds in the EE will attest to that.
Questar is having a big problem with the C-Products 10 round mags right now. The problem being.... the current batch of them will cause the firearm to
not cycle... at all. I know because I bought a 9mm AR and two of those mags (one with the gun, one from a local shop) and the gun wouldn't cycle at all. I sent the whole works back to Questar and Mark and Co. have been working hard to find the problem and resolve it. Apparantly some other guys sent their 9mm ARs back as well, same problem all around. Out at the range today, my gun and the others were cycling fine with the plastic mags, Uzi mags, etc. Not cycling with the 10-round steel mags. Mark is working with C-Products to see if there is a way they can get the 10-rounders working.
Anyone who is in the firearms business... please see if there is anyway you can get some other 9mm AR mags into the market place. There has got to be a great market for it right now. If I had some working 5 rounders, Uzi, Colt, whatever, at least I could get my AR out to the range and use it - 5 rounds or 10.
I want to say one more thing... I liked Questar before, but I'm starting to gain a new appreciation for them. I was pretty ticked-off (to say the least) putting $2,000 into a new AR that wouldn't cycle rounds, but I like Mark's approach. He's "all business". As a fellow small business owner, I can appreciate the nightmare this must be for them. The other thing is, it was Questar that developed the 10-round mag project in the first place. If every retailer/dealer/importer/distributor was even half as active as Questar in meeting the needs of shooters, there would be a lot more cool gear in this country.
