Magazine well grip - Some advice, please!

[jhood001]

I'm looking to get a magazine well grip. I don't think the lower is relevant, but it is from YHM if you're wondering.

I primarily use PMAGs.

The grip itself isn't the highest priority for me. More importantly, I'm looking for something to help speed up mag changes.

Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Practice. And lots of it. That is about the only way to get faster.

Noted, working on it, and thank you.

Any part suggestions?

The Arredondo mag well might help a touch, but it looks like complete ass.

I love me a dead-horse. And a dead-horse wrapped in a veil at that! My lucky day.... [Flower]

Maybe I should just move away from the PMAGs. I've got some cheap aluminum mags that slam home with little effort, but the tolerance is just too tight between this mag well and the PMAGs. I like my PMAGs though...

The pmags won't be as rough on your lower when you miss the hole. That is if you care.

I have a Lancer lower on my rifle and with the large magwell it makes mag changes a breeze; even on the run its still very easy to slap a fresh mag in.

The lower does make a difference. I have four different manufacturers of lowers and the magwell tolerances are all different. Some are fine with anything and others are like trying to rub two pieces of sandpaper together when inserting a pmag.

If your lower is new and the parkerization is still all purdy, you are going to fight the sandpaper effect until you practice it smooth and put an ass load of dings all over the mouth.

can also sand down your pmags to fit your lower

Thank you all for the feedback. I'm going to try a few different things. Thanks again.

Big magwells, like other gimmicks, create training scars. Instead, keep your weapon as close to stock as possible, adding/altering things only when you have a clear reason for that modification.

With that minimally-modified carbine do lots of dry practice in all areas of weapon manipulation. Go slowly, but smoothly and speed will follow.

On a serious note though, this is some good advice...

Is your gun purple? You might get away with it if it is. (Wow, four two letter word in a row, cool!)
