What's wrong with pmags? This is the first time I've heard anybody with a potential complaint toward them.

What Brian was saying that every carbine class he teaches there's someone with pmags having problems.

For me, the notch that the mag catch locks into actually seared off some the notch from the pmag and inserted it into the bolt carrier bottom also allowing the mag to ride past the mag catch and create a very bad lockup.

It was so bad that if I tried to pull the charging handle, I would have broken it.
Kyle was able to get it to release by banging the end of the m4 stock on the ground.

Someone next to me was shooting pmags without any problems.
Maybe it was the tan color. Kyle was saying the tan color injected into the mag actually weakened the plastic.

But my lowers probably had some part in the mag failures too. Will definitely be getting the LMT complete lower with their internals.

1lb hk mags. wow! try 6 of them loaded.

know someone who bought a p416 and loves it. soft shooting, reliable.
i do like their rails. haven't shot it myself.

their new lowers come with ambi bolt catch & mag release along with winter trigger guard built in.
but pof doesn't sell to prk residents. you'd have to get it from a dealer in prk or one willing to ship prk legal.

class3 weapons will be able to help you out as far as getting a POF sent to you. they are also a advertising vendor as well

look at the HK AR magazine which retails for around 50 bucks...What in hell can this mag do over a 15-20 dollar lancer or p-mag? I know! It says HK on it thats what it does.

HK's metal AR mags are actually specially designed. Their 30rnd model is curved, not bent like regular USGI mags. The curved design allows the rounds to stack neatly inside, improving feeding dramatically. But to make these mags, they have to have their own tooling. Thus, they can't take advantage of the economies of scale that the other metal AR mag manufacturers can.

Of course, is this feature really worth $50? Not to me it isn't, when Lancer's 30rnd mags are also curved in the same way and cost only $18.

Someone will always have issues with some equipment. Pmags have been used extensively since they were introduced and I've only heard of a few people that had problems with it. Most of the time its due to an issue with the gun itself and not the mag. If you talk to enough people/read enough you'll find complaints about everything. There are people that hate the HK mags too.
