What's difference between gi mag an p mag?
Thanks
magpul poly mag - it's a plastic mag.

GI is stamped metal
99.8% of people prefer PMAG over GI mag :chuckle:

Wishful thinking!!! Pmags 30 is a fair price now and if you want them be prepared to pay upwards of 40. They are very hard to come by right now. Prior the hysteria....yes 12-20, not now unless you get real lucky or want to wait. If the hi cap ban goes into place you can fully expect pmags to go for 50+ / per mag.... buy now for 30 if you can.

What I meant is that it's not worth the price gouging to pay what people are asking. There is nothing about a pmag that makes it better for 95% of the population. If you aren't preparing for war you don't need a ton of magazines. Even when I do go to war the most I generally carry is 10, and not pmags. I own some pmags but my gi mags, especially with tan followers or a pmag follower have proven themselves perfectly reliable in combat.

I don't give a hoot about how 95% of the magazine looks. However, if the feed lips are cracked, bent or marred, the entire magazine is worthless. Way too much risk for a type II malfunction. Lot less risk in plastic over the GI aluminum. That is why I prefer PMAGs. :twocents:

I'm looking for 6.8 spc 25 or 30 round Mags if anyone knows of any?? I rather not wait until March. :(
Try Brownell's, I think I saw some there.

I bought some of the Troy Battlemags for 15 bucks apiece.

Botach Tactical has Colt metal magazines (30 round) for 20 bucks. No Pmags at all. I've used a lot of metal mags with no trouble, I think most folks would never know the difference.

I think if you looked at all of the SWAT guys across the state you will find a LOT of metal magazines.

Would have to load/unload and sand little areas then repeat.
The metal 75 drum mags for the AK worked fine, but the plastic drums for Saiga-AK required all kinds of TLC like the betas.

Hahaha! The panic to buy the mags one should have already had. I've played with the Beta mags but for real world hop and pop action their worthless. They add to much weight to the weapon, they are bulky to carry and in a tight spot a malfunction( Internal mag jam) screws you for what's left in the mag. I'll just do two quick 30 round mag changes to compensate for the Beta's capacity. They are fun for casual shooting, wouldn't bank my A$$ on one.LOL, who said anything about using it for real world hop and pop action?

I can't let them leave my care and toss them out into the cruel world. I even thought about tucking them in with a electric blanket tonight. Impressive pile at today's asking price but they weren't purchased to turn a buck. Thought about loading them all up with SS109 and rolling around in them naked.😉

OMG now that is a sight I did not need to have pop into my head :chuckle:
I did actually ponder the thought of what a new PMag would go for at this time, sold topped off/gassed up with 30 pristine, annealed, reloadable brass, primer pocket & bullets sealed, Nato cross stamped SS109's? Imagine a guy could turn a few bucks.

People are getting some crazy prices for things, that's for sure. I'm not interested in selling anything but I was looking at what some of my hardware was going for and what I paid for it. Most have doubled in value at the current rate, some have tripled or even more. CRAZY!
