Plinker Tactical 35 Round Magazine
- Thread starter Grjfer
- Start date
Put an order in with S&W directly over a month ago. No response. Followed with 2 separate emails. Only one was answered. They simply stated they were out of stock and didn't know when they would get any in........
Finally realized S&W was not coming through, so I started to research other options. I couldn't find squat for less than $75.00/mag!
Anyone have an outlet for a reasonably priced 25 round Smith mag or pro mag?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I'd make sure they work before selling them. It's better than even odds that they don't.
Plinker Tactical Mags work GREAT!
Ordered 4 Plinker Tactical mags (35) Rounds and 1 load assist. Went to the range today and the mags worked flawlessly. No misfeeds, even kept up with my slidefire stock. I think I will order another load assist, makes loading the mags very easy. I ordered them the day of O'bama's speech last week and had them within a week.
I will be review the Plinker Tactical 35 round magazine over the couple of weeks. Stand by for my thoughts.
Till then, a teaser picture.

I purchased one today from a local store, got it loaded up when I got home and had zero issues. Might go buy some more tomorrow....

I wonder if they fixed the problem

It would appear so, but I still won't buy any. I'm sending the two freebies I have back.
Why do you say that? It doesn't look, to me, like the issues are fixed at all. Maybe it's covered in other threads I haven't found yet?
Notice that the last two posters who said they work have 1 post. 1. And still only 1.
To me this says that the manufacturer (or maybe a distributor or seller) of these magazines has enlisted the aid of shills (or take it upon themselves) to spread the "good word" about these magazines.
I doubt that those two posters are actual real world users who were so happy with their magazines working they sought out this forum and this thread to tell us about them.
In other words...my BS meter is off the chart here.
I sincerely hope that I am wrong as I just ordered two of these from Brownells for a 15-22 that should be on its way to my LGS.

And you with one post ?? Just joshing. Everyone has to start somewhere. Consensus is, they aren't real dependable.
I definitely had that coming.
Consensus, yes. Unanimous? Unfortunately looking that way.
I ordered two from Brownells today, and just picked up my 15-22 today as well.
Assuming I don't get wet feet and sell them NIB, I will have my own report before too long, I hope.
Yeah, I was totally paid by Plinker Tactical to lie about a working magazine. Go back through my history and see the comments I have made. I had one issue, even though it was minor and got it fixed. People don't have to defend themselves by posting millions of comments about how their **** works.

Nope, bought them from Green Top in Richmond, VA yesterday. Was limited to two per customer, had an entire rack full of these things. I was skeptical after reading this post as I've just been lurking until yesterday and thought I'd report my success with these mags....

PT just sent my check so I figured I'd post, J/K!!!
I picked up 2 which was the limit & have not tried them in my new Christmas present yet.
But last Sunday at the range while on RSO duty a member had 4 PT mags that functioned 100% as he shot up a brick of Blazer.
I plan on trying mine out this weekend & will post back w/results. Fingers crossed....

Ha Ha, Just in fun. I sincerely hope they work out for you. Enjoy the rifle.
I wasn't referring to you.
Go back and read my post again.
The posters I was referring to now have 3 posts between the 2 of them, only in this thread.
When magazines are GOOD, there are lots of posts saying so. The S&W magazines are GOOD. In the real ARs, PMAGs are GOOD. Lots and lots of people post this.
It's good to hear that yours work well. There is hope yet!

I purchased two of these recently as they appear to be the only game in town right now for the 15 22. I never had any problems or ftf/ftl with my original SW mag, but the two PT were pains in the @$$. First, I made the mistake of not ordering the load assist. It was all I could do to load 25 rounds into them. When I loaded them to fire, encountered problems with the first couple of rounds on both mags. Definitely think it is some sort of design or manufacture defect with them. Not to rain on anyone's parade who has success with them. I only wish I were so fortunate, as I only have my one original mag and was looking forward to some additional mags.
I don't know why it prevent me from saying something that wasn't inappropriate with the **** lol, on another note.
But I understand your original comment I guess. However, there has been times when I feel like people have been questioning the validity of my statements regarding the PT mags, which is why I took offense to that so fast. I apologize for misunderstanding who you were referring to.
In all honesty I believe there are issues with the mags in general and I think each 15-22 responds to them differently. But some people have a hard time believing that they work at all in general and they tend to be very sarcastic in any remark referring to the PT mags. Thank you for clarifying who you were responding to, I wouldn't have wanted you to think that I was a petty jerk all the time
.It's all good.
For the record, I talked myself out of them and cancelled my order for two, so I won't have any updates/experiences to post. The kicker was that they are so much longer. I put the mag on the ground to shot prone (hope that doesn't hurt feeding with the 15-22, works excellent on the real thing), and it's just too long to mimic that.
Not sure what that leaves me other than either waiting out legislation and hoping to get some in a couple or few months, or paying out the nose on Gunbroker for a second S&W brand mag.

As I have said repeatedly, I'm glad they are working for those who say they are. For the record, my two have been tried by four other shooters and all have had the same experience I did, so it's not just me. (I figure I'm who your remark was directed at because I have been the most vocal about the mags.) We all base our comments upon OUR OWN EXPERIENCE, and mine was bad.
That said, if they HAVE found and fixed the problem, I am thrilled. One always wants third-party stuff to work well.
