How many rounds are you Putting in AR mags?

[Grudgie]

I don't mix and match and I don't load a whole 30 into the GI mags.

I'm wondering why. Is it because GI mags are a little tighter to insert when full? Or are you trying to preserve spring life?

I find GI mags harder to insert on a closed bolt. I just prefer to download vs. smash them in.

Get an AK and don't worry about it...

I run only PMAGS and 30, all the way full.  Always have, and I've never had a PMAG failure, ever.  Even if we were shooting SHIT poorly reloaded rounds.  IMHO, PMAGS really are the shit.   [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co

Agh, I see its not about round count its about saving the life of your lips.  [URL=http://www.smileyvault.co
Gotcha makes sense. I like it.

I think it is more about, if life or death came down to a mag change and the mag slides to the ground after you close the bolt, you might wish you downloaded a few rounds.

Maybe I'm a little slow...but I'm not getting what your trying to say?

That my mags won't drop free because I have 30 rounds in it? I dunno elaborate please.

In my particular scenario the AR operator released the empty mag and went to insert a new 30 rounder which unfortunately was not seated when he closed the bolt thus, the mag falls to the ground and the operator is shot. The moral of the story is that if the mag had been loaded down to 28 rounds, it would have been seated properly and saved his life.

I don't know who built your AR but if your bolt is open and you insert a mag and it doesn't stick... you should probably find a new one. I have never heard of that happen. The only time anything like that can remotely happen is when the bolt is closed and the inserter ( new word lol ) doesn't use enough ass to seat the mag.

I've never reloaded a fresh 30 round full PMAG into my mag well and it didn't properly seat, not once, bolt open or closed, honestly.

But then again, I slam those 30 round full PMAGs into that mag well like a Porn Star Rams it home really hard.

I've always done it the same way and even with GI mags I've never really had a problem... Didn't we have a Blog Tv on the same damn subject?

My buddy uses Pmags and he litterally thought you couldnt load an AR with the bolt closed... I was all wtf...  "Dude just jam it in there you have to overcome the mags spring tension aswell".... Did i mention my team needs a lot more trigger time still...

I did replace all my GI followers with no-tilt Pmag followers though. That is another redeeming quality.
