C products magazines

rhino233 · Dec 30, 2009

I bought some C products stainless steel/teflon coated magazines with anti-tilt followers. These magazines look great, nice black finish, and sound great. However, they are junk. Bought 10, tried out 4. 3 didn't feed last round and one ejected last round prematurely. This was repeated several times. Ended up selling all 10 and purchasing more P-mags. I've had no problems out of P-mags and Brownell's TAC.

Man...that is strange. I have at least 4 C-mags right now, and,If I remember right, we just bought about 30 more...Didn't we Frost...

I never had a problem with mine...

I've got a few steel mags for my retro build mainly for looks. My rangemags and bug out mags are all Pmags. You just can't beat em.

That is strange. I have twenty C Products mags. The aren't the stanless, but they are teflon coated with the Magpul anti-tilt follower. I've not had a bit of trouble with any of them.

Perhaps it was a bad batch?

Maybe mine was a bad batch, but I'm not going to try them again. I'll stick to the P-Mags and TACs. Congrats to those whose saved a few bucks and got a quality product.

Left out important information regarding the stainless mags. Because the mags are made of steel, they are able to use a thinner piece of metal. Read this in article - did not measure myself. Maybe they just didn't have the dies set up right for the thinner guage.
