... But they are made by ProMag.

I should know better than to be tempted by these... Right?

... Riiiight.



Part of me is like "it's a steel mag, surely they didn't F that up"

Then the beer-google resistant part of my brain reminds me it's ProMag.


This is gonna cost me money and be nothing but disappointment, isn't it?

All my ProMags have worked fine.  Gave one to a buddy, he had a problem, called em, they sent a new one that worked.

KCI 92 mags on the other hand...

I have a ProMag AK mag shatter like glass on me once. That was polymer though.

Some pro-mags are the go to mag or were.  The Century Golani was designed for them and they work great.  The Hk93 pro-mag was the go to when there were no other options.  They need fitting but work well.  

It'll be interesting to see how these are.

I’m sure they will be great for practicing malfunction drills.

I'm going to stick to 20rnd mags in mine.

If anybody else on the planet made them- Century,  Hesse, toad or khyber pass- i would try one or two hoping for the best and expecting the worst.

ProMag has been making  dog shit garbage mags all my life.  They specialize in fucking the unaware out of their money for smoldering turds that they know good and damn well do not work.  

I'll admit i bought one or two decades ago before the internet or experience taught me better.

If they sold them for a penny it would be exponentially too fucking much.

No.  Just no.  
I'm on break.

First thing I did to my 17 was swap for a pmag trigger housing and never looked back.

Some ProMags work fantastic, others don't work at all.

That mag, being a STRAIGHT 30 rounder......I would bet it doesn't work.

It needs to be curved.  Even the 20 round mags should be curved.

Straight 30rd FAL mags work decently have have a very similar cross section.

I'd rather invest in an aftermarket lower and use a d50
