Best Magazine for your AR-15 Rifles

The awesome MagPul PMAG seems to be the high point for functional, ultra-rugged mags for the AR family of weapons.

Be careful of the new pmag......they are weaker than the old one

@aaadream What area? Have you had one break yet?

[jigglejack100]

i am new in the ar field i just bought a stag arms model 6 and its a varmint gun so do yu think this will be ok for a varmint ar

@jigglejack100 Magpul makes a 20 round mag that doesn't "monopod" on an AR like the 30 round mags do.

Twenty rounders would be my choice for use with a bipod or rifle rest on a bench..

Dont let this video deceive you, as much as i love pmags(i own 2) I had one mag fail to engage in the magwell(meaning the magazine would not stay in the gun). It was a windowless regular black pmag and I believe it was because of the weight of the ammo. I've had no problems with the black stanag mags, thermold mags, and the windowed pmags. I will be getting more windowed pmags in the future. I would like to see the people who made this video test out those easymags.

@coldfire2227 What lower are you using?

Some manufacturers will tell you their lowers are "mil spec," but get out the calipers and they don't measure out that way.

Great video. Too bad for me that my Stag lower's bolt catch "finger" is too short to engage the follower on PMags (so they don't hold the bolt back after the last round).

[TheHeretic2011]

No offence, but I'm perfectly happy with my mil-spec aluminum. Why fix what ain't broke.

at 1:17 thats what happens to my mag for my ar 15 so i dont know what to do with it a just got it with my gun today i dont know it it will work going to shoot it soon

[IndianaGuns]

I love pmags......I have several dozen. That being said, I would like to see this test done in below freezing temperatures. That is a pmag's weak point. When that plastic gets that hold, it does bring in the possibility of cracking.

tHANKS...THIS WAS ALOT OF HELP...GREAT VIDEO!

[biggboysouth]

@jigglejack100 These are the best choice for any ar you have. But if you going to be shooting prone, magpul also sells 20 rnd pmags. They look kinda cool 2 but i just use the 30 rounders. and enjoy the baby and clean it good. ars ar fun guns!

[RollerCam]

If they were super expensive, they might just BE overkill for civies. But since they're the same price as the el cheapo mags, PMAGs for fun and plinkin' are a no-brainer.

[BlurredFace]

I think for civilian use PMAGs are kinda unnecessary, unless you shoot on a highway and lost track of your mags. In combat however, **** happens and a broken mag will cost you.
