M-16 Mags

The place for general talk about gun, shooting, loading, camping, survival, and preparedness related tools and gear, as well as gear technology discussion, gear reviews, and gear specific "range reports" (all other types of gear should be on the back porch).

M-16 Mags

Post by cageym »

FYI I just saw a thing on AFN about new M-16 mags. They are supossed to improve feeding. They have tan followers, the green followers will still be used but black ones are to be turned in. Just in case you run accross a tan follower at a show or something you know.

There is no such thing as overkill. There is only "Open fire!" and "Reloading!"

Those were issued to me while overseas. They seemed to work better, but I can't say if it was the follower or just the fact that they were brand new, in the plastic, so the feed lips hadn't had time to get bent out of shape. Even still, I bought a few P-Mags in Kuwait and stuck with them most of the time.

I only know because I have friends in Brownells.
The floorplates are stamped Brownells. :P I've seen a few of them, they are anti-tilt. I'd like to compare one next to a Magpul follower.

+1. Let me know if you do.
And may I say, from a moral point of view, I think there can be no justification for shoving snack cakes up your action.
