Gives rifle unique look but not as functional as PMAG | 12/25/2021 | |
I recently purchased a Ruger AR-556 FFH .300 Blackout, one of these magazines is included with it. I like the look and design of the magazine, having the cartridge type clearly displayed is neat. The magazine feeds well when firing but loading it and manually unloading it can be a bit problematic. The metal lips of the magazine are hard on case brass, they scrape and gouge the cases, and the rims tend to get stuck on the lip, plus they are sharp and can cut your thumb. The plastic Magpul magazines do not have any of these issues and are much easier to load and unload, plus they do not rust and corrode the way this one can if not kept oiled. I recommend using this magazine for holding target shooting ammo but I would not recommend it for keeping premium defense ammo loaded and ready, especially if you like to swap out magazines periodically to preserve spring retention because if the gouges get deep enough they can compromise case integrity. | ||
