Ive always been old school when it comes to AR mags.I go to Fun shows and go through the bargin bins and find any marked Colt and Adventure line.Thiers a couple others I trust,I can usuaslly get the 30's for about $10 but the 20 rounders seem to be a little more $$$ for some reason.

If you really think a stainless steel mag is strong than a PMag, pass me whatever you're smoking. And then pass me one of each mag and the keys to your car and we'll have a quick durability test.

Yeah, that makes sense.

You want me to talk about the feed lip creep too? Or should I just post a picture of the feed lip covers that Magpul sends with their PMags? Or the numerous times it has been said that people have left Pmags laying around for a year fully loaded and had no feed lip creep?

The CProducts stainless steel 20s are tough to beat. Get them from Dennyy's/Global Tactical for $72.50 shipped for five of them.

i use the c-products with magpul anti tilt follower i got them for $10 each at a local store. and they work perfectly

My vote goes to the $9.99 C-product mags in whatever configuration you want. To me a mag is just a mag and if it works then it is a good mag.

I got:
- British Steel mags with black followers
- OK w/ black follower
- Bushmaster w/green
- Colt w/green
- NHTMG w/green
- C-products w/ green follower
- C-profucts w/ orange follower
- PMags
- Parker (something something)
- Some other no name brand

To me they work the same. Out of all the mags I have ever had, only 3 were bad (BTW: none of these were C-Products), and by just changing the spring and follower, these bad mags became good mags. In the end it is up to you. Would you rather own 10 NHTMG mags for $140 or would you rather own 14 C-product mags for the same $140? I myself will go 14 over 10 anyday.

Go read over at ARFCOM a bit. There are pre-development versions of the mags that have had IIRC over 100,000 rds through them and others that have sat loaded since they were built to test to see if there is feed lip creep. There hasn't been any. The covers are there just in case.

Here you go. You can even buy them buy the case.
