Hey Guys;

So... Lots of guys like the RRA LAR8 polymer mags in their RFB's... So, I decided to try a couple.

And, after 3 range trips I started having trouble. No issues with the first round being stripped from the mag, chambered & fired. But, I would then get a 'click'... I quickly discovered that it was not picking up the second round from the mag. I inspected the latch area of the mag and discovered it was damaged by the latch/locking mechanism in the RFB.

Below is that pic... Obviously, I'm done with using polymer mags in the RFB and, I'm out the value of the two mags. And, I'm looking to save you guys the headache & cost. Metal mags only boys, metal mags only IMHO.

Cheers
Jay

Thanks for the info jay, was just looking at the RRA MAG on Questar site, glad I didn't click on the confirm button. :) @79.99 a piece, I would expect a better product than the DSA metal mags.
 
I was just about to hit the go button on these same mags but now you have me thinking. Thank you for posting your problem. Im sure there are just as many people who have had zero issues with theres like anything else but Im pretty sure now Im going to go with steel ones.
 
I have 4 of them and have primarily been using just one, I have 300ish rounds through the one mag and have had no issues at all. The only time I've had problems with it not stripping the round I closed the gas adjustment (gen 2) one or 2 clicks and it worked perfectly again.
The only malfunctions I've ever had with mine have been from incorrect gas setting which were easily fixed.
So far the Thermold mags have been more reliable than my DSA mags.
