helping_hand Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Browsing the tinternet this evening came across these, they're news to me if not you. I'd definitely consider buying a couple of packs if FS or LWA stocked them after the release. I'm quite a fan of Lancer mags... Moving on, enjoy the following Click Meh DESCRIPTION: 130 rounds L5 Style Magazine for M4 Series. 5 magazines included. Magazine capacity : 130 rounds of 6mm BBs Material: Plastic Color: Translucent Dark Brown No prices up yet as ever with KA... Link to post Share on other sites
Ferrarilove1 Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Those look good, I'd put them in my M16. But I'm good with mags right now . Link to post Share on other sites
Snowbeat Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I kind of wish they had put fake rounds in them at least, the "tracks" of white BBs really kills the illusion Link to post Share on other sites
Hatman Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I kind of wish they had put fake rounds in them at least, the "tracks" of white BBs really kills the illusion True, but I'm sure plenty of people would want these. You can see how many rounds remain in the mag. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted June 25, 2009 Report Share Posted June 25, 2009 I kind of wish they had put fake rounds in them at least, the "tracks" of white BBs really kills the illusion That was my initial reaction too, but when I saw the PTW version of these a few weeks back (by another manufacturer), it occurred to me just how darn useful they'd be the way they are. I quite often swap out mags before a potential engagement when I'm unsure how many rounds I have left. At least this way I'll be able to make a better judgement call before I swap mags and bump mags forwards. It would have been nice if they were able to have the base be rubber like on the real ones, but so long as they feed well, I'll pick up a couple 5 packs of them. Link to post Share on other sites

Pinkfloyd Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 Too bad the real ones are POS... :/ Pmags FTW Link to post Share on other sites
hendrix Posted June 29, 2009 Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 not sure what your talking about... the only problems with the real ones are there lack of resistance to DET and some other heavy duty chemicals Link to post Share on other sites
helping_hand Posted June 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2009 IIRC there was a problem with the followers too (quality control perhaps) Still these are probably going to be $50ish even if they are rubbish it's not like you're spending the amount that PMags are only to find out they fed like pooh.

I'd like to see them with fake rounds. Would look very cool. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 1, 2009 Report Share Posted July 1, 2009 Watched Magpul Dynamics, I see? I'd like to see them with fake rounds. Would look very cool. Actually, that's something I've done for years. Maybe for about 15 years now. But it was good to see it on the AOTC DVD and to see that I was doing it right. Link to post Share on other sites
TheMerchantOfVenice Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ooh, interesting. Some of Costa's techniques I've used for ages and some were complete surprises. But let's not make this a Magpul Dynamics thread. Is a good concept for the plastic killers in all of us, the ones who must know how much ammo is left. Link to post Share on other sites
masakarijoe Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 i too have always reloaded before engagements, when i wasnt sure of my rounds remaining, so this may be a good idea... and a lighter alternative to my metal TM standards. USCMCorps: next time we meet on the field, let me take a look at yours, so i can decide if i want them! -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Definitely, Joe. Definitely. Link to post Share on other sites
DarkLite Posted July 4, 2009 Report Share Posted July 4, 2009 Damn, these do actually look quite good. I might be tempted to pick some up when they arrive. Link to post Share on other sites
The_AUGfather Posted July 6, 2009 Report Share Posted July 6, 2009 Ehhh, never been happy with KA mags... I've owned the AUG, VN, and H&K-styled boxsets. In every set, at least 1-3 break through normal use, and none of them ever fed as good as my G&P or TM magazines. Given they are much cheaper, still not a fan... but those do look interesting! I hope another brand makes them. Also, I would love to a see a brand make a boxset of 5 or so different magazine styles... (H&K, PMAG, Thermold, Translucent, L5, Tangodown, etc.) all in one boxset.

helping_hand Posted July 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2009 As I thought They're up now at RedWolf for $53 There's also some other new stuff up there that I CBA to post up like one of the TM variation line M733s the Maruzen 25th anniversary Type 96 and some other little things Link to post Share on other sites
fenris357 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 what a damn good idear. wonder how they'd run through my m4. anyone had any good/bad expericences whith these? Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 I just received mine last night (2 boxes of 5 mags). Initial verdict is that they're great. Pros: • They feed well. • You can clearly see the BBs in the mag. • They're inexpensive. • The ones I had fired every last BB in the mag! Cons: • What I didn't like about them was that they felt a little too slick. They do have a surface texture, but the ABS itself is kinda glossy and ... slick (can't think of a better word). • The other thing I discovered was that they have a plastic plug/screw at the base of the spring assembly that holds the guts in, similar to how MAG mags are designed. The problem is, that plug can come flying off ejecting the mag spring, follower, and all your BBs out the bottom of the mag. It's not really enough to just ensure that the plug is properly screwed in as the tabs on them tend to break. The best solution is simply to super glue the plug in place. Review and straightforward tutorial coming soon. Final opinion: So long as you fix the plugs on the bottom, which takes just a few seconds to do each, they're well worth the money, look cool, useful at seeing how many rounds you have left, and appear to be reliable 130 round midcaps.
