AR 15 mags

Thanks for the information, Z-Michigan. I am not surprised that the Brownell's are mil. spec with a GI contract, they are good stuff. I might have to try one of the Fusil mags, had no idea you could find them so cheap, however I do wish they were available in 20rnd version.

i have two PMAGS with dust covers, they are the only ones i take to the range with me when i shoot my Bushmaster- i dont have to slap the bottm of the p mag like i do to the USGI mags. PMAGs that come with dust covers and window on the mag ar ethe best i ever used ,i have 4-30 round mags- 2 PMags , 1 bushmaster mag ans 1 brownell.

Maverick - glad to help. I laughed at Fusil when they were introduced at $30 or more, but at $10 they are a good deal.

For quality 20's, your main options are Pmags, Lancer L5, and TangoDown ARC - they all have 20's, they all work fine (I have used all). The Lancer is lightest and probably smallest of those three, the ARC is probably toughest, and the Pmag is easiest to find.

No experience with the ARC and you are correct that the Lancer is lighter than the PMag, but it is also longer (due to the rubber "bumper" on the baseplate); I haven't measured/compared the width, but most everything will fit in my mag well. I can't say for certain (not having used/abused the ARC) but I believe the Lancers would be stronger due to the steel feed lips. Overall, if I am going with a polymer mag (and there is little reason not to), I think the L-5s are the way i'll go. Easily the best mag I have ever used, especially with the addition of CMMG stainless followers (something most poly mags won't accept).
