KG:
Either this guy has some real poorly made magazines or his M-4 has problems.
I am using some 20 round M-16 Magazines that are at least forty years old, and they function perfectly from three different AR-15 lowers and uppers.
I have been using the same four M-14 magazines (GI Issue) with my M-14 for twenty years now at a rate of about 5K rounds per year fired for ten solid years, and so far there have been no failures of these magazines.
I picked up about thirty old .45 ACP military magazines out of DRMO for free and so far only one of them has failed to function properly out of three different M-1911's.
If this guy is using an issued M-4, the problem isn't magazines.
