Amend 2 AR-15 Magazine Review
I am excited to share my experience with the Amend 2 AR-15 Magazine, specifically the 30-Round Model with Translucent Body. As an avid shooter and gun enthusiast, I have had the pleasure of putting this magazine through its paces, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on its performance.
First Impressions
Upon opening the package, I was impressed by the quality of the magazine’s construction. The translucent body makes it easy to see the remaining rounds, which is a feature I appreciate. The magazine’s texture is smooth and comfortable to handle, making it easy to load and unload. The construction is sturdy, and I was pleased to see that it has a robust feel to it.
Loading and Functionality
Loading the magazine is a breeze, with a smooth action that allows for easy insertion of rounds. I was impressed by the magazine’s ability to load quickly and easily, making it perfect for high-stress situations or rapid-fire shooting. The followers are designed to be removable, making cleaning and maintenance a snap.
Cocking Delays and Function
I did experience some occasional cocking delays when using the magazine, but I attribute this to the fact that the rifle I was testing the magazine with was a bit picky about feeding. Fortunately, the magazine’s reliability improved once I adjusted the rifle’s tuning. I did not experience any major issues with malfunctioning or failure to feed.
Performance in Real-World Scenarios
I used the magazine in a variety of real-world scenarios, including competitive shooting matches and range days. I was impressed by its reliability and performance, despite the varying conditions and ammunition types. The magazine proved to be consistent and reliable, even when using multiple types of ammunition.
