Best mags for Mossberg MVP?

[strongpoint]

Mossberg MVP owners: Are you finding that your rifles prefer certain types of AR mags over others? Pmags vs. USGI, for instance.

Are 10-rounders sufficiently easy to manipulate? Or do you prefer 10/20s?

TIA, all.

All the mags I tried in my MVP have worked well but if you are buying new I recommend the Gen 3 Pmag 10's. The fit snug with minimum wiggle.

Mine have it written on the side.

The 10 rounders never existed before so they would be the newest generation.

I'm looking for ways to build a couple flush mags and if anyone has some ideas please share.

I built one from a gen 2, 20 rounder and it's great but now I can't find anymore gen 2, 20's!

I was surprised to find Bushmaster mags seem to fit better then any of my PMAGS, I will say stay away from the Mission First Tactical mags, I tried 1 & it was for lack of a better word, FLOPPY, I was using Magpul PMAGS & I found a 5rd Bushmaster mag in the woods & I fits way better.

Flush fit mags for MVP

I guess You would have to make a flat bottomed follower & shorten the spring, cut a 5rd steel mag case down & make sure to cut the tabs to hold the floor plate, but it won't be true flush, but still pretty slick. I wouldn't waste the time unless you only want to hold 3 rds.

I made a couple flush mags out of KelTec SU-16 mags, they hold 6 rounds.

Pmags work best with an aluminum magwell, but work fine in the original plastic magwell. C product 10 rounders work in aluminum magwell, but are better in the plastic magwell.

Any of you guys own a MVP in 308? If so have you tried out M1A/M14 mags. I've been eying a MVP in 308 and the ability to use M1A mags is a big selling point for me.

I have a MVP Patrol 308.

From personal experience...
Mossberg AR10 10 round magazines = bad
ASC SR25 10 round magazines =mixed results
DPMS LR308 19 round magazines = good
Magpul PMAG LR/SR 10 round magazines = good
Springfield Armory M1A 5 round magazines = good
Checkmate M14 20 round magazines = good
KCI M14 20 round magazines = bad

Best Mags MVP .308

I have a MVP Patrol 308.

From personal experience...
Mossberg AR10 10 round magazines = bad
ASC SR25 10 round magazines =mixed results
DPMS LR308 19 round magazines = good
Magpul PMAG LR/SR 10 round magazines = good
Springfield Armory M1A 5 round magazines = good
Checkmate M14 20 round magazines = good
KCI M14 20 round magazines = bad

I have an MVP Patrol in .308
Here are the mags I have and have fired thru this rifle:

Mossberg AR10 10 round magazines = fit flush, but have had no issues

M1/M14 Mags (Checkmate) 20/25 round magazines = good, flush fit, and I like best because empty mags does not allow bolt to go forward so you know you have to reload. can be pricey.

Magpul PMAG LR/SR 10/20/25 round magazines = good, but mag moves around alot inside of magwell

Lancer L7 AWM 25 round mags = good, nice flush fit, but very pricey

Hexmag AR150 mags = good, just released, slight movement in mag when seated in rifle - not issues feeding or firing

I have not used any Sprigfield or KCI mags so cant comment.
