    What to do with stretched out pmags

    I have 4 (ar) mags, 1 is actually a troy, I left loaded for so long the lips are stretched permanently . Must be forced in the magwell. Iirc 2 are windowed, 1 non windowed, and the troy.
    All are 30s
    These are just taking up space.
    Ideas?

    Return for warranty. Magpul will replace. I just sent back a big stack of 308 mags that had cracked in back.

        I sent them an email.
        The receipt is long lost though.

          $9.95 each, go buy some more. Mags are disposable items like extractors.

          Be happy your local store sells those, they are illegal here except for one week last Spring.

            Odds are Magpul will send you replacements and include a pre-paid shipping label for you to return the bad mags.

                Dang, is that something that actually happens with Pmags? Is that why they come with those covers that snap over the top?

                    How hot WAS the desert you left them in?!

                    I have Gen.1 PMags from 2008 - that have been FULLY loaded for 11 years - that work just fine. They've been in an ammo can, in a dry, temperature-controlled room. How did you mention to melt yours?

                            Ideas?

                            Empty the mags and tape compress the lips back into place

                            Store mags in a sun parked car for the summer.

                            Let us know how it works.

                              I was originally planning to donate the components to yous there on the west coast with this thread.
                              But I've now sent an email off to magpul so I'll see how that works out
