I assume Magpul 40's in the one? Nice stash and setup. The small one is a 1150, the larger one is a 1200. There's 30 round pmags in the small one and 30 round GI mags in the other. |

My problem is...
I have to get the Ranger Plates so it adds about $7.00 to the cost of every mag. So I have about $1400 in ranger plates. I just like them. |

What's the actual truth on this? I just went and tried 5 of the magazines I've had loaded for 15 years. Pmags. Every one fired down to the last round just fine.
