Other than that, they have worked great for me. I ordered from CheaperThanDirt. I highly recommend ordering from there, especially if you are in Califor nia. You will be very pleasantly surprised.
I'm not sure f your post was directed at me or not. In case it was. The Mossberg MVP is a bolt rifle designed to use AR15 magazines. While what you say is true concerning a full magazine, bolt open or closed doesn't make a difference. I think it is the material thickness of the polymer vs metal magazine at the feed lips that is the difference. Metal pops right in bolt open or closed. Polymer has to be hit so hard it hurts the hand some. Both snap right in with no problems with the AR.
