How do you stop your LAR magazines w/coupler from falling apart?

[Brordo]

I really want to know how brutal you guys are to your mags? I've got a couple of the plastic couplers (also Dlask ones) and they've not broken from repeated drops...they're also pretty tight and don't slide off. I think the price is crazy on them but so far I'm not unhappy.

It wasn't the dropping that did mine in, it was the tap-racking that smashes the bottom mag away from the coupler.

Or you could just use the aluminum couplers. 10-rounds is about to become so "2012", though...

I used Blue Loctite on the coupler and inserted between the two mags. They seem snug with no movements.

Any electronics component supplier should have it. If you have trouble getting it, I can ship you a piece. I bought it here:

Here are some comparisons, the one on the top is how it looks if you carefully measure and apply the shrink tube:

simple and very solid way to keep them together is a small washer. works great.
