I know I like the 20 one; it's easy to take out and has the ritght "feel"
I never tried the 10 rounders, but I have some 5 rnd and I find it's really hard to work with them.

What do you like?
 
Some Mag ####........I'll give you one guess

If you have a Norinco made gun, the new(er) model that only comes with the 5 round mag appears to have a push and pull mechanism on the mag release. First you push the mag release toward the mag, which unlocks it from the receiver, then you pull back on the mag release lever and it will fulcrum out the mag another half inch or so. If you have one of the older style M305 rifles that came with the 20/5 round mags, then it's a little more difficult to get the 5/5 round mags out, as there's no fulcrum mechanism on the mag release.

Other than that, well, you're only allowed 5 rounds anyway, so it doesn't matter much to me; other than the fact that the ergonomics of the rifle do appear to be based on the 20 rd magazine.

I just got a new 20 round mag as a spare for mine from Marstar and it won't fit!

It jsut can't catch that front locking post in the square hole. has anyone had to do any fitting on these?
 
I have a 5/10 round mag and it always works for me. I like that you have some meat to grab onto for mag changes. I bought mine in the States. It was $30 last December.
 
I use 5 rounders because I have lots of them and they're cheap. They're also easier to clean out since there's no rivet getting in the way.
