Plastic mags drool, USGI mags rule

[Battlerifleelitist]

Looks like with all of the "totally not an AR" black rifles flooding the market, the reason to buy USGI magazines over polymer is becoming more and more prominent!
WK180C has some compatibility problems
Type 97 (both gens) compatibility problems
SLR same thing
Any other guns I'm missing?

I'm really learning to enjoy USGI style mags as of late, and the newer stainless steel mags are frigging great! ASC makes them I believe.
Also, they're easier and more compatible with mag pouches as well.

Any site sponsors with good deals in these?

IRG has 10/30s but they keep getting sold out.

TNA, just don't buy the straight 20 rounders before I do.
Also the 10/30 SS mags are always sold out.

Buy firearms with proper spec'ed Stanag mag wells and its not an issue, but in the event that you have some of these picky rifles, Lancer L5 mags are great.

Are 10/30's legally importable and non-prohib? Is that maybe why they're sold out and not restocked?

Never had a PMAG get stuck in a milspec magwell. They also grip better in open top mag pouches. I’ll use USGI style mags but prefer polymer (really just PMAGs lol). Never got into the 10 rounders tbh, I like mag changes though (30 rounders would be nice).

So you mean to say three rifles riddled with quality control issues are picky with what mags you feed them?

I managed to get some 10/30s from from TNA before they sold out. Looking forward to testing them in the SLR

Polymer Mags work in my WK180C no problem; no stuck mag problems as well.

Unfortunately my Steel LAR-15 RRA Mags have guaranteed feeding problems in the WK180c because lips are lower. (they don't fit in a Type 97 as well).

Personally, I prefer Polymer mags haha (as long as it's a decent quality polymer).

Lancer mags are my favourite though, wish they had LAR-15 versions.

None of my mags have issues in my MCX. (Hera, Magpul, MFT, Lancer, RRA *my only steel mag*)

Both steel and polymer mags work in my wk180c.

I use polymer mags for practice. I love their durability for repeated drops onto a concrete floor.

But for competing in matches I always use metal magazines. They just feed and eject so much more reliably.

The FN FS2000 also needs USGI-pattern mags due to the gasket in the magwell.
