Well, I'll necropost.
I peruse many a site and happened across what I thought was a deal on Magpul mags.. well. it wasn't, but that's another story.
What do you guys want to see in regards to stress testing for this here piece of kit?
it seems just from first glance, to be built significantly more resiliant than a standard magazine...
The video that they display about their mags, involves running them over with a truck both at low and high speed, doing a brakestand (scraping kickout of mag from under tire) and then a function check.
Yes, i realize that you don't typically run magazines over with a truck.. but who here's had a jump with a crap landing and equipment damage? *raises hand*
Same concept.
USGI nuked with just a rollover, same with one brand of polymer mag.
HK took 2 runs
The magpul took multiple runovers. No damage, function check with dummy rounds, insert, release, etc showed proper operation.
The tolerances for the follower aren't TIGHT but I can't see any way that the follower could tilt.
Disassembly of the magazine is actually easier, and repeatable more times than with a GI mag (eventually you will torque that bottom plate, everyone does it at least once)
now.. I haven't shot it, but I have cycled a couple mags worth of rounds and there's no lip wear or issues with loading...
So, I pose to you, whatcha want me to do with this bad boy to perhaps change your mind?
It's about 1/8th inch taller than a stock mag, and slightly thicker. Same weight though, at least by feel.
