Anyone have success with the plaslic lip mags? I have read a bit and I recall one fellow saying he built up the rear area of the mag with epoxy to snug up the fit. I fired about 300 rnds yesterday with the factory mags, no problem. Used the plastic mags, 2-3 jams each time I loaded it up. I have a good variety of aftermarket internals now, and it works great until I use these mags. Are the metal lips better?

I bought Steel Lips for mine too.
I was told by experienced friends that they are the only way to go!

Uh don't forget the tactical inc. magazines...
I can't, I know - how many is too many, my friend?
I find they both suck for reliability. I will be trying the epoxy addition to the back, then filing down. I would be more interested in the Tactical Inc Mags. But the price justifies my attempts to mess with the steellips and hot lips first. The mags themselves are fine. I find all of mine feed perfectly if I use one hand to push the bottom of the mag forward when firing.

i tried a Hot Lips mag for a bit. jam jam jam. haven't tried the steel lips. i bought a Ramline, and it only jams a few times once it gets really dirty. a quick cleaning and problem solved.
i do want to get about 4 of those tactical inc mags though.

You got the ones that were just on the EE right? Oh... if only I was on CGN a bit earlier they'd be mine!
Can I plead the 5th, even though I'm Canadian?
