    Default Brand new Cproducts box mag. Feed lips budged after 1 month loaded. Buy polymer!

    Did a little experiment. Stored a brand new steel mag with 29 rounds in it for 1 month. Tried to load it this morning into a bushmaster lower. Wouldn't even fit in the mag well. Take a look.



    In case anyone needed more of a reason to buy pmags or lancers....

    I thought C-Products sucks? I never used them, though.

    As for polymer, I had stacks do the same thing in two PMAGs. Never had it happen in a GI mag.

    I think your problem is CProducts, not metal mags.

    Ahhhh the plot thickens. Never had it happen in a polymer mag to be before. Especially my steel lipped lancer polys.

    I was told by a few guys that cproduct steel mags were the best current manufacture economical steel mags to buy. Damn.

    Well, when it happened in my PMags I did jam ammo into them with a CMAG loader.

    But, yeah, GI metal mags are fine.

    That whole mag is wonky. The next two rds are also side by side.

    Do you remember the rds feeding into the mag this way a month ago?

    ^Thats the point, they were stackd correctly when loaded. This is the result of being in a climate controlled safe for a month loaded.

    The next 2 rounds are also side by side. Sure it's not a .308/7.62 mag? It's hard to tell but it looks like the mag is pretty wide side to side.

    Edit.
    Looks like they don't make .308 mags but they do make 7.62 x 39. Could be the wrong mag or defective. Their web site says 100% satisfaction. Give them a call and see what happens. Can't hurt.
