Hi all,
Any thoughts on the Plinker Tactical 35 round magazines? Yesterday, I had 2 malfunctions and when opening the bottom, found the long spring all twisted up. I was using Browning 22LR rounds which were horrible (was trying different brands to see what my rifle would take). Had many FTE, double feeds, and failure to feed, duds, etc. Some of the rds were chewed up and 1 even got stuck in the barrel.
I have used one of the Plinker mags with CCI, and Amscor and it worked just fine. So, I am assuming it was the ammo and not the mags after straightening out the twisted springs, which I may have caused by filling the new mags to the maximum of 35 rounds.
I have yet to try the 3 new Plinker magazines with the CCI Mini Mags or Standard Velocity rounds to see if the malfunctions were just due to the Browning ammo.
I did hear someone at the range say to not fully load new magazines to the maximum capacity for awhile so the new springs in the mags will work better. I also have a few of the S&W 25 rd mags and 1 Blackdog 50 rd. drum.
Any views on the Plinker mags will be appreciated. Thanks!
