n8ball2013 Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 Part of what airborne said is what got magpul to redesign them. The torture tests on them are ridiculous. They will be much better this go around. BUT from what I read and understand they are not banning them. They are banning them from outside sources. If they dont get them from the command its a no go. They are doing it to cut down on the counterfeit stuff thats been popping up. Same thing with the aimpoints and eotechs etc. alot of oboots on the ground guys spend their own money in order to customize their lifeline to them. If one manages to get a counterfeit piece its his life on the line or the guy next to him.

Airborne Posted December 6, 2012 Report Share Posted December 6, 2012 USASOC black listed them in PBUSE last summer because during sustained firefights we were melting them in Afghan. Not like a candle but they were deforming and either not ejecting, not feeding or not inserting. That being said, I got some HK mags back in the day and used them on 3 tours in Iraq and they are still the shit. P-Maqs have a cool factor no doubt and for home defense or looking cool at your local shooting hole, but in my experience, 5 combat tours, they just weren't made for more than a few mag changes on the same gun during days long gunfights. As far as the Army wanting you to only us Issued mags, I have like 25 of those P-Mags and something like 30 of the HK. All of them issued as class9 and ordered through the class9 folks (motorhole PBUSE clerk)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 n8 is right. Counterfeit gun parts do not go through the hell that legit parts do during R&D. They may look the same but do NOT hold up. Ordering through the prpper channels can be a bitch because you get old fucks who think those shitty "issued" mags were good enough in the 80's shitting on your supply request. Once the QA/QC is nailed down and the knock off junk is weeded out the Army will pick these things up by the truck load like we did just a few years ago.
