Best AR 15 mags

My stash is stocked with various gens of PMAGS, and NHMTG USGI mags. Had a bunch of beo mags but I sold them all to Mike from Canmore.
 
d&h with magpul followers rock----if u want 5/30----i have been to the states and used these in a friends ar at full capacity--light -teflon coated --drop like a stone--in canada lars for 10 rounders is only option
 
Has anyone tried the 5/30 elander mags?

Have purchased several. Used them multiple times on range and at the first CQB Match this year. Functioned flawlessly, zero issues. They drop free from both the Tavor and the AR. Like most pinned magazines, they are a "tight" 5.....so will require a little adjustment to fit on a closed bolt.

I also have USGI, P-mags, LAR-15, etc. Happy with all of them ;)
 
The most reliable mags for me, over a ####-ton of rounds and years and years of shooting:

1. H&K Steel Mag
2. KCI Steel Mag
3. Lancer L5
Honorable mention: Magpul PMag

The rest have just been middling in their performance & endurance and, for me, not worth wasting money on.

(2) and (3) make the bulk of my magazine stock as (1) is expensive and hard to find in quantity. (4) is mostly relegated to trainings where there is a chance of dropping magazines on concrete as they are inexpensive and I won't hurt too much if (and they do) crack.

If I had to build up a stockpile again, I would just get a ton of the steel KCI Mags and forget about the rest of the "wunderbar" magazines on the market that claim to do everything but cook for you.

Ya, I'm not a super high speed operator who abuses magazines but do use them as intended and do take care of them.
 
I've got some of the original 10 round LAR mags, and they work great!

I also have 3 of the CProducts stainless steel mags, and for the 5/30 size, they're my go-to.
 
For the LAR magazines my genuine RRA LAR-15 10 rounders I picked up in 2007 are still the best.
For the 5/30's it's a tossup between PMags and these excellent magazines I picked up a 10-pack of from Saskatoon Gunworks a few years ago for a song. D&H Tactical. They've never let me down.
 
Just for my own amusement, what makes lancer mags worth the almost double price tag of other mags?
Of all the rounds I've put through my rifles, I've never once had issues with my usgi or pmags so why do some of you guys swear by lancer mags?

In terms of 5/30s the D&H mags get my vote as well. You also can't beat their price.
 
I think ATRS is not making more, should've bought another extra dozen.
So voting for ATRS doesn't really help you.

Some LARs work right out of the box, some need minor lip mod.
