Marauder kit review, new mags are in stock now.
- Thread starter hical.ca
- Start date
After playing with the kit I have say overall impresion is 7/10
things I didn't like are: plastic silencer (lame, I really expected better), plastic rails, plastic sights and the wire in the mag. If those plastic parts were metal it'd be a awesone kit.

Well, if all that were metal the kit would cost $500 instead of $250. The silencer, okay, maybe that should have been metal like the flash hider is.
Overall the kit is very tight and solid. My only concern is how much of a PITA it will be to get the receiver out if there is any major maintenance required. But I knew all that before I bought the kit.
Bingo, i think they are great value!
The kit costs about as much as the gun itself, I think a couple of metal parts is not much to ask. Not bashing the Kit, I think it's pretty cool but $200+ for a plastic stock is not cheap at all. Tapco stock is only half the price.
You are right the Tapco stock is half the price but if you compare the two stocks the Promag stock wins hands down.
I tried it but the wire interferes or it just doesn't like the plastic lips. Although tight, the magazine fits into the loader ok even with the sleeve on, but when you actually try to do the loading mine kept jamming on something and bending the rounds cases. Even turning it super slow I didn't have any loading more than a few.
Maybe someone has had better luck though because I'm pretty sure my magazine is just horrible. I had to do the sanding mod just to get it to feed properly and I can't push more than 20 or so rounds into it without denting them and killing my finger.
Anyone have difficulties to fit a loaded mag in the gun??? Empty, my mag get in gently but loaded it's hard to fit in. Sometimes I have to knock it... in addition I have a huge feeding problem.

We are still waiting on the mags, they have a second gen already which have some improvements including steel locking pins. My best guess is end of Oct. We will post when ready to ship. Best price guess will be around $35, $40ish with the shell.
Spirit, when I wrote double tap I meant I double posted the same info twice by accident...
I responded to your question about tensioning mags in another thread and posted that answer on this thread by mistake so I edited it out and wrote " double tap"
instead of double post .. Sorry for the confusion

This is a pic of how the mag looks, you can see a fair amount of chamber that the rounds have to clear to smoothly enter the chamber. ~2mm
I dont have ramp issues per-say, my mag doesn't like uncoated lead ammo. It binds in the mag body, and at the feed lips. (see other thread, linked above)

I recall reading on the Ruger Forum somebody claiming that there's a slot somewhere on or around the stock that fits a spent .45 shell casing that'll keep the stock from folding. This may still make the kit a restricted without the proper barrel length and the info may also be bs.
