PMAG 5/20 or 5/30?

[thegrandpoohbah]

Thinking about getting some PMAG Gen M3 mags for my new Colt IUR. I only have 3 LAR-15 mags at the moment. What would you suggest, 5/20 or 5/30? I am leaning towards 5/20's with ranger plates. Also looking at the IMI defense G2 mags from CanAm. Thoughts on those?

Personally I prefer 5/30, they are easier to take out of the mag pouchs and you can use them as a mono-pod.

ATRS pistol mags are the way to go... Runs flawlessly in all my riffles.

I bought one of the IMI defense mags from the local gun store and they work great and look great, they are also very light! I have never tried a p-mag but I am in love with the IMI Defense ones.

Thank you, looks like a winner. And made in Canada to go with my Colt Canada /Diemaco rifle!

go with the 5/40 pmag

How long are the AT15 magazines?

go with the 5/40 pmag

lol, why? Seems useless unless it were legal to punch out the rivet no?

Another vote for the ATRS mags. They run in my US Colt A4. Why even get a PMAG when you limit yourself to 5 rds?

Pivot pod.....no need for bipod.

Ah, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

I went and ordered some of the AT15 mags so we'll see how those work.

^this^ if you are training in CQB and or in other action classes the 30's are much easier to extract and insert into a rifle or carry pouch. I also like the look and feel of quality of the IMI 5/30 mags. These mags do not have a rivet that can lodge the mag in the mag well but a glued in plastic rod that is hard to see.

I dont have a tavor but if you want to lend me yours I will be more then happy to test , they worked perfectly in the ar-180b

A pistol mag with a 3D printed extension works great for training as it has the 10 round capacity and length of a 5/30 for gripping.

The IMI work in my T97, love them. Don't see why they wouldn't work in a Tavor.

5/40? haha ... yeah

I have one. I'm a fan of pmags and saw the 5/40 for cheap.
The thing is huge!
A bit awkward.

Every time I load that fifth round in, I feel it's filled too fast - I'm like "I just started loading this monster!"

I have a ton of 5/30s and 5/20s - collect them all
