Ranger plates on LAR mags - Which one do I need

Personal preference. The loops are nice because they help when you are grabbing from a pouch
The L-Plates are nice because they give you something solid to smack on to get the mag to seat right.
We carry both - of course

Magpul ranger plates (from what I've read) will reduce your round count to 9 in the LAR mags
Depending on the rifle, maybe the original 'magpul' that sits outside the magazine body
Otherwise you are limited to C-products 'tacti-pull', but those are increasingly hard to find

Easily fixed by trimming the follower legs.
Trim them a bit more then. Just don't go past 10.5.
I've got both Ranger plates and L plates, it's how I distinguish between 5 round and 10 round mags. Mine are 7.62x39, so all my mags are pistol length.
Both plates work great and can take a beating but the Ranger plates add some needed length to LAR mags.
I had to trim the legs on all the followers. I used side-cutters, took 20 seconds per mag. I removed enough to insert on a closed bolt. Comes out to about .250, but measure for yourself.
CTCS is great to deal with.
