AR-15 Stoner Mags

**BrentJennings** · July 27th, 2009, 01:04 PM

Was curious if anyone had any experience with these, I found 30rd mags on sale for $8.99 with anti-tilt followers... I'm a newbie building my first ar so I haven't had experience with failing mags yet and I'd hope to avoid that happening in the first place.

I have no experience with the mags you mentioned above...And for the price they might be worth a shot, but I know for a fact that the magpul pmags are the best. Thats just my opinion and for the price you cant beat em. I would say heck for the 9 dollars and change you would pay for them go for it...try one out...then write your own review.

This was my second order of 20, 30 round AR-Stoner Magazines. I got these on sale from Midway some time back for $9.95 each. I had previously ordered 20 and was very pleased with the quality and functioning of them. What I really like about them are the grey, Generation II Mag-Pul followers. You can take the erasure end of a pencil and depress the follower anywhere and it will smoothly depress and retract without any binding. I can't do that with the common green followers which I own several of.

I also have tried a few of the Mag-Pul P mags, and they work well also. But as far as the AR-Stoner mags, I now have over 40 of them, and the last 2 new Bushmaster AR-15's I purchased came from the factory with these same type of followers, and every one of them runs without a hitch. If you can pick them up new for $8.99 I wouldn't hesitate. Bill T.

IMO, most of the value of the Magpul PMAG is in the anti-tilt follower. After using a regular mag for a few weeks with my AR-15 when it was new, I ordered 5 PMAGs at the suggestion of friends. After I put the first round into one, I realized why most people seem to consider them the best magazines you can buy. The follower depresses smoothly and completely evenly. They're almost a joy to load.

If you can get any magazine with an anti-tilt follower from Magpul for $9, I say buy as many as you want and then some.
