PROMAG

[Jamesonehr]

Pro-mag is trash. A few of their pistol mags are decent, but I have never had anything from them work reliably.

The only thing made by Promag that I use are the 32-round 9mm AR mags and I have had good luck with those.

I've heard those were junk as well, may have to try some.

They work fine on all of my AR... I cut V into the front of the lip to match the m4 cut.

Old thread alert

I bought 4 @ $16.50. All are functioning (now), easy fixes.

Here's the feed issue fix:

Gimme a sec and I'll show you why it doesn't drop free.



Some weekend rocket scientist at ProMag put a 5.56x45 cartouche RIGHT above the mag catch. So if you press (but don't hold) the mag release it will catch in the cartouche and hold the mag in the weapon.

It took about 5 minutes to round the upper edge pff the cartouche and now the mag drops free.

The feed lips are about an 1/8th inch shorter on each side and if you're not usimg a stripper clip guide or a mag loader like a LULA, rounds will occasionally pop free during loading.

Right now I'm still experimenting but I'll keep everyone posted.

With easy access to proven high quality magazines is it worth the effort?
