Thread: Which AR-15 5.56 magazines are best?

  1. #11
    Do to the IAR, we can't run pmags anymore. I got the upgrade followers for my serviceable gi mags and use the pmags springs. They work ,and I load to 28 to keep the lips from bending too soon.

    Will make a note of that. I ran a few this weekend and had 1 Pmag start having issues due to mud, AWM's were fine but I will need to compare the guts to see if they were as dirty inside as they were outside.

    You aware of how the Troy mags handle grime and sand?
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    I have had the best performance with old-style PMags, black new PMags, HK mags, and OKay GI mags with Magpul followers with or without Ranger Plates.

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    My go-to for many years was quality GI mags, MANY picked up off the ground during various field problems while I was still a 19D. Best performance was to rehab with Ken Elmore's super springs and the old black followers replaced with the newer green followers. Later I started to add Mag Pul followers, but the old gear worked rather well and still does to this day.

    Now I am heavily into P-Mags, I really like them a great deal, and I have had no issues even thought some have been abused on purpose.

    I'm a sucker for 30 round and 20 round NHMTG aluminum magazines.

    Do you prefer Teflon or dry film?

    I think the dry film is just swell. Not that I have rage against Teflon, but the mil-spec mags have always worked out great for me. There does seem to be confusion that any old aluminum magazine = mil-spec, which is not the case.

    Timely thread.

    I'm about to order 15 or so 30 rounders and 5 or so 20s.

    I'd like to stick with GI mags.

    NHMTG the way to go? what about D&H?
