I initially had problems with a couple I ordered. I spoke with the owner, and he suggested I load these and leave them loaded for a couple days when new. I followed the advice and loaded then on an open bolt as suggested also. I have not had problems with them since as long as I follow this routine. In fact I recently ordered 10 from Midway after they put them on a fire sale for about 10.00 each. I thought this was a really good deal until I purchased 10 more from buds for less than 7.00 each including the load assist tool with each one.

In my experience they require more initial attention than the original mags, but have proven more durable as my original mags have begun to have feeding issues after many rounds, while the plinkers are relatively problem free. Good luck, and I hope it works for you.

I've run several hundred rounds through mine without any issues. On the pro side I like the fact that they are sealed on the sides which helps keep dirt and grit out. The only con is they are longer than the factory mags, but I can work with that.

Got mine in the mail in just one day as it stated on their site.

I have two other 35 round mags already and I noticed that keeping them loaded helped out on the jams so I immediatly loaded the new ones.

One of the mags will not hold 30 rounds more like 25ish the other two only hold 30 rounds. One of the spring is noticably stiffer then the other two and even with a load assist tool I made out of an old bbq skewer and snapping the rounds up after each one to ensure they stack correctly I just cannot get 30 rounds in it.

Gunna shoot them this weekend so Ill have a report next week on how they work out. Im undecided on what to do about the one problematic one. I want to email the seller an see if they will replace it but at this price Im sure they will have issues with it.

I figure Ill wait till I shoot them this weekend.

Just looked at the site and they are sold out so im sure if anything they may jsut refund me the 7 bucks back. God these mags are a hassle.

I checked the magazines today and they had softened up quite a bit so I unloaded them and counted out 35 rounds per. It took a couple times for each one but eventualy I was able to get 35 rounds into each mag. The one mag that was sitting around 25 rounds was still problematic but after about three atempts I was able to get it to accept 35 rounds.

I hope they performe well this weekend.

That box!!!! Its a beast!!! LMAO!!!

I got them in the mail and was like what the..... Open it up and I had a box that could easily fit 8-10 mags with about 6 sheets of Thick paper stock to take up the extra room. How they ship that box for 8.99 I dont know. Wish I did though as I run several online business's and this could cut down my shipping cost's.

Eitherway it was suprising.

Anyone know why these mags are being cleared out?

Ill defeinitly report back after this weekend. Keep in mind supposedly its the compression that will break in a spring. Thereticaly keeping it under tension wont do as much as simply loading and unloading them. I leave them loaded though as it makes me feel better about it.

Well I just got back from the Ranch. I put about 300 rounds through my new magazines. They worked out very well.

I had one or two Failure to Fires but this may have been due to the fact I was using mixed ammo, I was using winchester 222 HP and Remington Golden Bullets HP. I had them mixed together in a bag so they were loaded just as they came out of the bag. My buddy put about 100 rounds of Winchester Super X HP through them as well. I think he had one failure to fire.

I think the failure to fires could have been the ammo or it could have been the fact we were testing out the Slide Fire system for the first time.

Eitherway overall I am a happy customer.

Only con is that these things are a PITA to load which we all know.

Just wondering, did you use their special "T" like too to help or no?

 

[rbpwrd240]

Heck No!!!

I heard they brake fairly easily with the stiff mag springs so I use an old BBQ skewer that had a point. I grinded the point flat and put a knotch in it to grab the tab that you use to compress the spring. It works like a charm and I can actually put a little force on it without fear of it breaking. The skewer even has a round finger hole that fits into my palm quite well.
