OK Bowhunter · Feb 3, 2011

Looking to get some more ar15 mags what are you using and who has sales going on?

I'm a fan of PMAGS so they get my vote. Don't forget - we have a 5% off code from JoeBobOutfitters.com - you can save some money there

I like the old GI's. Makes me feel old school. They are usually around 8 bucks at gun shows.

Just got a flyer that midway has them on sale for $9.99 each or 10 for 99.99

WAIT A MINUTE, THATS $.09 MORE TO BUY THEM AS A PACKAGE OF 10

Botach tactical has a 20% coupon for pmags. http://www.botachtactical.com/

In the checkout, enter Magpul as your coupon code and hit update. It basically reduces the price down to about $13-14 a pmag for the windowed ones. Ordered 5 the other day.

I like the CProducts, but you can't beat PMAGS.

I am also a fan of the Steel USGI mags, I had a few of the Pmags, but I traded for the steel ones, they just feel more sturdy to me

Brownells has a sale going on with their 30 round mags for $9 each if I remember correctly.

I am also a fan of the metal mag over the plastic mag. I do own some plastic mags but I am having trouble getting used to them. To many years with the steel I guess. I thing the steel drops free better than the plastic. JMHO

I'm going to have to do some research on these, I was considering the PMAG extensions but this looks like a good option also.

csiedmond1 · Feb 5, 2011

Are there any advantages to metal over plastic mags, or vise versa???

Alphagunner · Feb 5, 2011

Pmags are the best no contest imho

csiedmond1 · Feb 5, 2011

Why is it no contest? What is special about them???

Alphagunner · Feb 6, 2011

Feed lips will not deform when dropped, No spot welds to break, Overall they seem to feed smoother.

Wormydog1724 · Feb 6, 2011

Feed lips won't deform on the PMAG when dropped, but it will just split down the middle and spew rounds everywhere.

I use both and still haven't decided which are "best".
