Best ar mags - 02/13/19 10:59 PM

What's everyone's favorite at mag? I'm looking to buy some new ones and have looked at pmags and a few others. I'd like to buy a bulk pack or two 5.56 and .308. Gen 2, 3 or 4?

Who has the best deal?

Thanks

Magpul and USGI are my 2 favorites the old Orlites are good also, a cheap mag is a waste of time.

magpuls are good mags. but the best deal if your lookin to stock up, and you should be, is from palmetto state armory. aluminum mags for 7.99 ive got around 100 of them and have had no issues.

I've got mostly pmags & haven't had any issues w/ them but not sure if they're the best or not.

US surplus metal mags and p-mags. I believe that Magpul relocated from Colorado after they passed gun control laws so it may be a good company to support.

Yup. Pmags rock,if only because they left Colorado to support what they believe in.

Cammenga mags are awesome, and with them I am able seat my 204 bullets out further.

I like the gen 3 pmags i have ar-15 and ar-10 mags , can't tell you how the AR-10 mags work in an ar-10 but I have a Mossberg MVP that uses them and they work great for that.

Magpul offices moved to TX and their shop moved to Cheyenne, WY

I believe Tru Glo also moved from CO to Laramie,, WY

aluminum gi style mags are my favorite. The D&H ones that palmettos state sells are perfectly good mags. I also have a bunch of pmags. They are alright. They fit tight and dont drop free out of some of my lowers. Have tried a few of the other brands. Got a few hexmags and loaded them with 458 socom and let them sit and the feed lips spread apart under pressure and barely fit into the lower. Same with pmags. If i had to do it all over again i would have went with all aluminum gi.

pmags are great, though most mags made with a follower not allowing the rounds to tip are good
