How did the WK handle a 30 round magazine dump? We won't be able to do that here, short of the apocalypse, but I'm curious how she fared. I wonder if you could fire her fast enough in semi-auto that the guys at Iraqveteran 8888 could do a meltdown video with her.

Worked great, no issues, but it did get very hot very quickly. I had forgotten how much the weight and balance change with a full magazine. And admittedly, it wasn't as much fun as the mag dumps I did from a full-auto, suppressed M4. That was fun and a first for me

So far, aluminum 5/30 usgi, 5/20rd pmags, and asc 10rd mags have all feed properly, but the asc did at one time insert too far and I had to pull it out a bit.

I have 12 polymer MFT LAR mags and they all function flawlessly.

Fan of the mags themselves I'm guessing? Considering ordering a bunch.

They r cheaper then other lar mags as well

I am a big fan. There's a guy in Ontario who makes 3D printed couplers for them too.

Polymer and metal mags work properly in my 180c, 100% success after 200 rounds.

Ditto on the MFP mags. They go on sale for as low as $20 at places.
Easy to load. Solid construction. Drop free.

Only problem is that you may need to shorten the follower tail if you want to load on a closed bolt.

Had no problem with LAR mags in mine. I would suspect it's a combination of magazine tension and lubrication needed.

There's no functional difference between charging it by hand (pull back and release) and operated from the gas system, as the compressed springs are doing all the work.

Ensure that everything is lubed properly, and make sure you're not riding the charging handle as it closes.

Ok, thanks. Seems my charge handle/bolt like to hang up right at the end of the stroke....so to speak, with the metal mags but not the polys.

Mine is the same way, poly mags feed fine, metal not so much.
