Magpul magazines
Anyone have any experience with them yet or polymer mags in general ? I was thinking of buying a few but they seem gimmicky.
- Engineered from the ground up to be made of injection molded polymer.
- Patent Pending design allows for a more aggressive constant curve of ammo stack than found on other Nylon magazines.
- Made of "new to the market" reinforced polymer which is very strong and durable.
- Can be seated on closed bolt with full 30 rounds loaded.
- Snap cover protects feed lips during long term storage.
- Optional maglevel window version that can be read from both sides.
- Floorplate lock.
- Proprietary anti tilt follower.
- Debris grooves built into mag body.
- Molded in Black, Flat Dark Earth and OD
-Estimated retail price will be $11.95 for non window and $14.95 for dual Maglevel version.

Not a fan of polymer mags.
Others may vary.

Any particular reason? At this time my only experience is limited to GI Issued and H&K steel mags.

The ones I have used have been unreliable and finicky.
YMMV.

Depending on the manufacturer, they may not fit your weapon as advertised. Also, they tend to shatter when you hit the dirt hard. Had that happen in a bad spot of Ramadi.
Overall verdict: Not a fan.

If you're looking for a deal on mags, try www.bravocompanyusa.com. They had a package deal on 10 30rd mags for $115. Plastic mags give me the willies. Can't load an M4 one round at a time fast enough if the mag breaks.
