So, if you can't remove it to clean it, does that mean it will degrade faster over time of use?

Unfortunately that's the reality of most 10/30 magazines in CA.

All magazines will need to be replaced eventually anyways. They shouldn't be considered a "forever" part

I was told you can use some soap and water and it would be fine. Would that be good enough to keep it clean?

I've heard good things about running them in a dishwasher, but there might be lead or heavy metal contamination issues. Also, I would worry about them not drying out properly.

Why not configure the 10/30's so that the baseplate can be removed? This enables you to clean a bit better. The spring is still unable to be removed but you can still get out the bulky stuff since you have access to both ends.

[Riflegear]

The manner that we configure mags has so far been the best method both for us and customers with concerns with legality. We are always looking to into new methods to improve our products. Thank you for your input.

Just order from the website.

Do you guys do any custom sized PMAGs? I'd like to order just a 10 round PMAG thats been cut down to size. Is this possible?

Edit: I just purchased 3 10/30's and a BUNCH of accessories over the weekend. Look forward to seeing them at my place!

[shark92651]

We have never offered the cut down PMags but I think there is a vendor offering that - I think it is MidwestPX.

[t0kie]

Got mine. Fast shipping, thanks!

Any news on when your going to get more OD 10/20 mags?

[Riflegear]

No word yet... we've had them ordered but 20 round mags seem a bit hard to come by these days. Hopefully we'll get these in soon.

Sorry to necropost, but if we wash them with soap and water, how do we prevent the spring from rusting?

I've got about ten 10/30's that I need to clean. Dirt and oil get everywhere during training.

[Riflegear]

There are probably a number of ways. Best way I can think of is clean it out as best you can with soap and water, dry it out as quickly as possible with some hot air, and then slosh some CLP around the inside of the mag, let it drip off, and then dry them again with hot air. The CLP may not be a perfect rust preventative but it will do a better job than letting them dry from water. If there's oil in the mag in the first place, maybe clean with something like MPro7 instead of water.

[pheerLes]

Maybe Simple Green will work....I'll try it and report back with results!

[1surfguy]

Just an idea. It seems like you all have some good ways to clean out the dirt and oils but are concerned with rusting if you rinse out the washed mechanism with water.

After the rinse out with water, couldn't you just soak the magazine in some quick dry non-water solvent like rubbing alcohol? The final soak with the rubbing alcohol should replace any leftover water in the mechanism (and minimze rusting possibilites), then you just drain the magazine of any left over solvent and it should dry pretty quicky without rusting. I use this technique on electronics that accidentially get exposed to water to prevent rusting or corrosion damage.

Since PMAG's utilize stainless steel springs, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I bought 3 10/30 Pmags and after 2 years and much much use I was able to force a 11th round in the mag. The 11th round would fit but it would be very very tight and almost impossible to use in a rifle. But since we live in CA I wanted to be on the safe side.I called Rifle Gear and was told to send them back and they would take care of it. While on the phone they also told me to include a receipt of the shipping so they could refund me the shipping $$$. I told them it was OK and as long as they fix the mags there was no need to send me the shipping $$$. Once they got my mags they sent me new replacements mags with next day delivery. I'm very happy with the service and the new mags I got. I would highly recommend this company to everyone

Wow, I am impressed. I have never ordered from Riflegear but I might have to take a look at them for next time.

[Riflegear]

Hah... not to dilute the awesomeness of VickG818's experience, but we were unaware of the age of the mags when he brought them in... rather than send him home empty handed we honored the fix anyway. We still run a warranty on our mags but past a certain age, you should expect the magazines to wear out to some extent. We can usually repair them and make them hold 10 rounds properly but do also remember springs and followers can wear out as well. As a last word, always be sure to check your magazines periodically and make sure they only hold 10 cartridges and no more.

Just ordered a 10/30 magazine for those times I'm not in Texas or Arizona.
