This is not true.I can't confirm or deny, but I was told that Thermold makes the magazines used by the Canadian military. If that's the case, they ought to be pretty good.
To each their own, butI'd go with the new Tapco over the Thermold if given the choice (Tapco is usually cheaper, has an antitilt follower and still is US made for part compliance).
Who's combat exactly and where did you obtain this official information regarding Thermold mags?To each their own, but
1) tilting followers haven't been a problem in 7.62x39 AK magazines (iow, they're serving tasty buzzword kool-aid).
So you've talked to every AK owner about tilting followers to make that statement??? I guess I missed your interview :roll:
I've actually had a large amount of follower issues with both Romanian and Bulgarian steel magazines. That's one of the main reasons I branched out and tried several different polymer AK mags.
I never drink Kool-Aid and don't sling the internet BS.
2) the Master Molder / Thermold mags are entirely made in the USA ( 3 countable parts ).
I never said that Thermold mags were not made in the US, only that the Tapco are also made in the US if compliance parts are an issue (Tapco is also 3 compliance parts).
3) the Thermold / Master Molder design is combat proven since the 80s. Tapco just released their magazine recently.
This is not true.
Canada licensed the technology from Master Molder way back when, and they changed the type of plastic used in their versions...quote]
Thanks for the correction.
Well, the only problem I've ever heard of with "tilting followers" in an AK mag was from Pro-Mag users.So you've talked to every AK owner about tilting followers to make that statement??? I guess I missed your interview

It's not impossible, it's happened to me with 2 separate surp mags. But I will agree with you on one thing. Promag is CRAP and should not be purchased by anyone who wants a reliable magazine:!:Well, the only problem I've ever heard of with "tilting followers" in an AK mag was from Pro-Mag users.
Pro-Mags are cheap pieces of crap.
All the milsurp AK mags I have have followers with deep sidewalls on 'em, so it's impossible to get "tilt".
I have shot thousands of rounds through surplus AK mags, metal, bakelite and plastic, and I have NEVER had a problem with tilting followers.It's not impossible, it's happened to me with 2 separate surp mags.
