Hello all, it has been a long time sense my last post.
I am building an AR in 6.8 SPC, can I use the same mags as a 5.56? |
|
6.8 mags listed in order of best to possible problems (I own them all).
Barrett (only bet your life mag) PRI waffle (best mag in same length as a regular AR mag) PRI old (good mag, possibly tight in mag well) C-Products 25rd newest design (may be as good as PRI if spring changed to a high quality one, thoroughly test each mag) C-Products 25rd older (require feed lip adjustments and spring change to be useful) C-Products curved 15 round (feed lip adjustment) C-Products straight old 20rd style (I sent them back as they never worked) |
|
I would STAY AWAY from C-Products mags. I had 2 - 20 (or 17?) rounders a while back. (straight mags) The rounds would bind in the mag when there got to be 5-7 of them. They would sit below the feelips a quarter inch. Although they had an "enhanced" follower in them, I could easily tilt them so they would bind. I sent them back to C-Products months ago and have not gotten anything in return....new functional mags or $.
LOOK HERE Save yourself some trouble and get PRI or Barret. I bought some PRI mags and they have functioned 100% from day 1. By the way, I have the "old style" PRI. (non-waffle style) |
