In depth real world use review. Stay away, or stick to Lancers if you want clear!  Magpul T-Mag Review- Yet another step towards complete irrelevance. |
|
I saw 17 minutes of anger management failure, throwing mags on the floor and general Magpul bitching. I saw zero shooting with one. Clearly he does not like any Magpul especially Gen3. His opinion is jaded. Could it be valid? Yes; however his presentation is that of a fucktard. Magpul bad…Lancer great…yada yada…. My sample of 2 of them found they work to deliver rounds into 3 different rifles. No I have not thrown them on the concrete or stomped on them nor do I intend to. |
“Remember ladies, your just one airlift away from being ugly again”
|
Only watched part of the vid… Unless the mags are loosing their rounds just sitting in the pouch I don’t see a problem with flexing feedlips. Throwing any mag to the ground will result in some rounds popping off, that’s normal. A too flexible body that will allow the follower to stick may be an issue though.. the part where he was able to jam the follower with only finger pressure is concerning. I still have some MFT mags… those are just as flexible and are serving me well while larping. |
|
I have 5 of the T Mags now. Each has seen around 10 mag fulls through them. A few of them through a Super Safety equipped rifle. I have had zero problems out the mags I have. Waiting for pricing to go down after the initial rush to get around 20 more. |
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Has anyone looked or compared these to the 5 dollar mags in the cellophane looking packaging that had a to me similar appearance? https://www.ar15.com/forums/industry/Polycarbonate-AR-15-mags/801-301746/ |

The one I tortured a bit cracked on the spine after I ran over it with the car a couple of times though |
Is OP a Regular Guy?  Going to end badly for you if so. Self-promotion is usually frowned on in tech.I’ll admit though, after 15+ years of waiting I am underwhelmed by the T-mag. We’re on the 4th evolution of the Lancer 5.56 mag now and I think even their first generation was better. Especially for the price, they feel like off-brand action figures from the 1980s.  I want a Gen 2.5 E-mag; black and mct, windows on both sides, no nub. That would be perfection. |

| Are T mags great? I don't know. I used 2 of them with mag extensions for 3 gun last year and have quite a few rounds through them with zero issues. I dropped them all over the range, shot several thousand rounds through them, and monopod'ed off of them. Still no issues. |
| I’ve used a couple in my AUG, let them hit the ground during a reload and no issues. I didn’t throw them, stomp them or beat them against a barricade because I don’t do stupid shit. |

Wow, that review was.... useless? I don't even know where to begin with what's wrong. Hmm.... I don't find the reviewer ... credible? PC gamer chair, useless memes popping up that offer no value to the viewer, collectible action figure, and the closest thing to a range we saw in the footage was dropping a mag on concrete. But the review itself... What's with the focus on squeezing mags inward to limit the follower's upward travel? The only time that should matter is while you are shooting and rounds need to move upward to feed, yes?. In that scenario, the upper 2 inches of the magazine are enclosed in the mag well, protected from any squeezing. And 2"+ below the feed lips I can also stop a Lancer follower from moving upward by squeezing. Yes it's valuable to know how the materials react, but I'm just not seeing the huge issue. |

I'm 2:30 into the vid and I'm still not to what the point of the video is. I got techno music and him shooting a pistol. I got the obligatory ad for SDI. I got a critique of the climate and flora of the range. I quit. Tell me what you are going to say. Say it. Tell me what you just said. It's a standard paper and lecture format, and completely absent on nearly every YouTube review. |

It’s Just Cheeto fingered basement dwellers looking for a problem to complain about on the internet. Those same larpers are the ones paying big bucks for straight 20 rounders. 12 years ago the internet told you straight 20s were trash and unreliable. I can’t keep up with current trends |

O.K., My .02 I think the Guy in the video is a moron, his looking to the side to read his script is beyond annoying. It seems like he really has a Hard On for Magpul. As many of you know I run ONLY Okay Industries Magazines upgraded with…….MAGPUL Followers & Baseplates His gamer chair and toy figure only detracts from the video, very little substance, a LOT of rambling. I would think Magpul would Sue the crap out of him! BTW, I wonder how many Military contracts HE has! |

I don't like how slippy they feel in the hand, but that's about it for my objections. I would have preferred if it came with a dust cover, but the M3 covers fit just fine. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54123983278_54f65ccd6e_b.jpg I mean for whats its worth even the regular pmags dont come with covers anymore. |

Let's fuuk up our mags for schitts and giggles too!!! The action hero figurine prominently displayed in your video is telling also per your vicariously desire to project whatever fantasy world you live in. Laffin... |

I made it as far as the SDI ad. "Content" like this is the price we pay for guns becoming a lifestyle thing. I haven't tried any T mags yet because I already have cases of Gen 2, Gen 3 and Okay mags. At some point I'll grab some just to make my own evaluation. I expect they will be fine for what I use them for. |

I would think Magpul would Sue the crap out of him! BTW, I wonder how many Military contracts HE has! I bought about 60 Okay Ind mags before they went out of business. I've got around 30 that I've been using for years. I'm thinking of just stashing away the rest and buying others. Just bought about 24 Lancer L5A FDE 30rd mags for regular use. Are these mags in this thread better? I really like the steel feed lips on the Lancers. STA: I'm a big fan of Magpul 762x39 mags and haven't had any issues with my PTR32 using them. |

I couldn't tell you if they're better, but I have been using 3 at work for training exclusively since they came out. I use them, others use them, they get dropped, stepped on, flung around etc. They have performed just like any other PMAG I've ever used. IE no problems, and they're holding up just fine. Round count on each is probably between 3-5k? |
