| What is the lifespan of these. My nephew will be getting a Stag LH Ar for Christmas and I told hime I'd get him some mags for the new rifle. I just want to make sure they're good or else I'll just stick with the aluminum ones. Thanks. |

Mine seem to be holding up better than the aluminum ones, although I've put more rounds through aluminum mags than through the P Mags. Realistically, anyone who shoots a fair amount should view all mags as expendable items, but I have yet to wear out any P Mags, as they seem to last longer than any of the other mags I've personally used or seen used (inculding the crappy, overpriced HK steel mags). YMMV. |
type piece of crap when I know the aluminum ones work without a problem.
Min service life should be at least 10 years probably more |
It depends on how hard they are used. Train hard with a aluminum mag on concrete, and tell me how well it holds up. I've gone out of my way to destroy a PMAG by smashing the spine, ripping off most of the feedlip, and blowing holes through the body, and it still works. Take a look at the below thread for more info. PMAGs tested past destruction
