[Chris Rhines]

I have not tried the DPMS mags...

Enough said, then.

Do you have to eat S##t to know it tastes like S%%t. Sorry this concept has been tried in the past without success and their is a reason for it.

I truly don't know why I bother...

Galil 50s. (I don't believe that you've seen more than a bare few magazine-related failures with Galil 50s.)
Sterling 40s.
Thermold 30/45s.
Direct-spring drum mags like the Firepower and MWG. Or did you think that coiling the cartridge stack into a circle makes a difference?
Even the Beta has, for all intents and purposes, two interlinked 50-round stacks.

You are wrong, on many different points, and all the stupid little cliches in the world aren't going to make you any less so.

I'm done with this. Until my DPMS 45s show up. Just for you, Pat, I'll take some video of me running a few magazines through my carbine, then sit back and wait for the posted retraction and apology.

I don't think that Pat knows that tune.

I don't think that Pat knows that tune.

WIth all due respect I will be the first to admit I am wrong but I don't think I will be proven wrong on this issue. I have seen too many extreemly high cap mags crap out. I also don't appreciate your personal attack which is a violation of the rules on this fourm. If we can't express our opinion with people taking cheap shots then this is not a good fourm to be on. I don't think its too much to ask that you stick to the topic rbernie and stay away from personal attacks.

Strange. I've seen probably more standard capacity mags crap out than hi-caps. Of course there are many more standard cap mags out there, but it just goes to show that any mag can fail. I certainly wouldn't limit myself to standard caps simply because of a fear of future failure with a hi-cap.

 

[355sigfan]

I will stick to proven items. I waited on the HK mags until the reports came back good.

First off everyone needs to take a breath and try not to take disagreements personally. Before this thread gets shut down I will put my 2 cents in one more time. I agree with 355sigfan to some degree. There are many magazines that have been designed for over 30 rounds that have malfunctioned consistently when loaded to over 30 rounds, and there can be a problem with extremely high capacity magazines due to spring tension. The Sten gun magazines and I believe the MP40 magazines had this problem, not to mention the many aftermarket AR-15 magazines. I also agree with Chris Rhines, there have been numerous designs that have succeeded in creating a magazine that holds over 30 rounds. The Steyr Hbar, RPK, HK33, amongst some that have already been mentioned can reliably feed while holding more than 30 rounds. The question that needs to be asked then is what do these magazines do to mitigate feeding problems that others do not, and has DPMS done this in their new magazines?

Pat - in this thread, you replied to Chris with:

Sorry bud time for you to learn some basics about magazine design.

And:

The only one without a clue is you.

And finally, when Chris indicated that he'd "sit back and wait for the posted retraction and apology", I chimed in with:

I don't think that Pat knows that tune.

To which you reply with:

I don't think its too much to ask that you stick to the topic rbernie and stay away from personal attacks.

Take a deep breath and read your own words. My response was not an attack - it was a statement of fact based upon your presentation. If you don't like the conclusion that I've reached, then maybe you should look at how you interact with the members of the board.
