Awesome that Magpul replaced your mags. I still haven't reached out to them yet due to travel.
Now that both are viable, any reason you'd use one over the other? (Pmag vs Lancer). The L5AWM seemed slightly harder for me to insert on a closed bolt vs a "fixed" pmag but I really like the translucent body for RnG stuff.
Yes, that was really nice of them. Magpul has earned my business for sure.
I’ve had PMags get run over by a truck, and still function fine. Lancers are rugged, but not like that. The plastic is more brittle, and the metal feed lips can bend.
Function-wise, I don’t have enough time with the new G3 PMags to say much, but assuming the issue is solved, PMags win for me.

Lancers look cool, and their round count indicator is much easier to use than Magpul’s, but the metal feed lips thing is more of an AKism. PMAGs are superior because even if they take a hit on the feed lips, they will likely flex and then return to their original (proper) dimensions, giving you better reliability. This is IMO, but Magpul has videos to back it up. Plus M3 PMAGs are the only aftermarket mags that have a chance of dropping free in my Noveske lower [emoji19].

The new M2s don’t prevent the problem. For some reason, my new ones are better though.

Just read this whole thread and now y'all are making me check all my M3 PMags LOL
Amazing customer service, further reinforces why I buy Magpul gear for everything I own that I can (furniture, slings, connections, sights) -
To the gent who got his "defective" mags replaced, did you just slap the old ones in a box and send to Magpul?
