In the Field
The majority of my testing was done with the magazine in a rifle setup, shooting a variety of targets and engaging in some fun plinking sessions. Here are my observations:
Performance
- Feedstock accuracy: The magazine performed flawlessly, consistently feeding rounds from the rifle’s ported barrel without a single hiccup. The flat, smooth spring-assisted rear lip and the precisely notched follower ensured a silky-smooth triggering action.
- Capacity: The 20-round capacity was a breeze to empty, making it easy to clear the area or quickly supply a reload point.
Some potential drawbacks to keep in mind:
• Weight: The magazine’s substantial weight may be a consideration for those who prefer a more svelte design.
• Length: At 7.62x51mm, the magazine is substantial in length, which may impact handling and ergonomics when carried in a sling or on a belt.
• NOT compatible with all rifle platforms: Please check compatibility with your rifle model before purchase.
