I bought 3 and just got an email saying they were delivered. I'll let you how they perform.

They need a mod that takes 30seconds to work in Scar 16's. They will NOT work in FN FS2000's. Other than that they are the best AR pattern mags available IMHO............dj

Wish they would produce a compact dedicated 10-round P-Mag for states that have magazine restrictions for hunting purposes.

They are the only mags I use. Never had an issue with the 20 or 30 rounders.

I have never had a issue with any P-Mag. They all work to perfection

They do make magazine limiters, 5 rd for 20's and 10rds for 30's http://store.magpul.com/product/MAG280/101It states it doesn't make them legal for Kalifornia and other Nazi states that won't let you own more than 10rd mags though. I've seen other blocks listed as being Kalifornia compliant but I'd be a little suspicious with them...................dj

I'm aware of the limiter kits, but a compact 10 round size magazine is very easy to pack slung over the shoulder while humping the hills for predator calling or other hunting. I have some C-Products 10 round mags and they function great but have sharp edges that hang on my pack when carrying the rifle slung. Kinda a pain in the rear and knocking the sharp edge off with a file now exposes bright metal and that means a paint job. Again a pain in the rear which would not be required with a plastic P-Mag of the correct compact length for a 10 round capacity. I have quite a few P-Mag 20's and 30 round magazines and really appreciate their reliability and smooth/rounded edges for easy carrying. A 10 rounder would be perfect for my hunting uses. A guy can wish, can't he?

The straight, then curved shape of the AR-15 30 rounder has been a problem from the beginning. I met Gene Stoner at an event where he was a keynote speaker and both in his speech and afterward as myself and a few others got to spend some time with him discussing things, he just plain HATED that 30 round magazine�just went on and on.
The first pass at a 30 rounder was a constant curve magazine but it proved to not have enough curve, so they went to the straight then curved design. The PMAG has the straight then curved shape on the outside, but internally it�s a steady curve. While it�s still a bit of a compromise design, the PMAG gets it as close to right as it�s ever likely to get. The PMAG is an excellent magazine. If you intend to use 30 rounders you�re doing yourself a disservice to use anything else.

I like P-mags but have had one or two that cracked, got a few that don't seat as easy as others and some that don't drop free.
I still like them or at least the 20rd P-mags, don't use the 30's much anymore.
