AR Mags

[AJ C-burg]

Plus the SCAR will not function properly with gen2's, the back of the mag has a V notch and does not allow the bolt release to go down resulting in the bolt dragging on the bolt release. Gen3's corrected the problem. For this reason I won't use gen2 Pmags in my SCAR.

I wouldn't use them either. Then again I don't have a SCAR....yet. No, I'm to deep in the AR game at this point, they keep sucking the life out of me and multiplying. 💸

FWIW, I got my tracking info last night from Botach. As of right now ETA is Saturday.

I think the Gen 2's will be fine for me then. I don't foresee having any of those higher end rifles in the near future. Botach still has the 13 pack Gen 2's for $99.95 shipped.

Get at it, Son. It took them a few days to ship but mine are en route. Plus they shipped UPS which I trust 1000% more than USPS.

Other than cost, is there any argument against widowed gen3 Pmags?

Seems like the best option and I like the aesthetics..

But to answer your question, no. In fact many like the windowed mags as you can gage how full/empty they are.

Gee, Mister Peabody, I never got an answer to my question about which of the 13 colonies has the best hunting.

Well, that depends. 1770? 1776? 2021? Today?

I buy the el-cheapos from CDNNSports.com and call it a day. Steel USGI mags work just fine and they often have sales.

I took a 14yr hiatus from PAFOA, so I’m still catching up…

It was in the sticky for an AR thread, and it piqued my interest. I have dozens of Pmags.. most gen3 windowed peanut butter colored ones and I like them. The windowless ones I’ve got I tend to let my kids paint them silly, as they make conversion icebreakers at training events then. ha

Having the window never really crossed my mind as a negative, so I thought I’d ask.
