What brand of M4 mids do you use?

Postby ultimentra on Thu Jun 03, 2010 8:11 pm

I personally use MAG brand midcaps, and thought they were kinda meh. At first they didn't work at all, then some of them kinda work. What brand mids do you guys use? What was your experience with them?

I like king arms VN midcaps.

But, I have seen no mags that feed more reliably than the Magpul Pmags yet. They also feel awesome... not cheap or chintzy in any way. I would recommend them even though apparently they're picky on what guns they will work in sometimes.

I have a few G&P Mids that I use in my M16 that I absolutely love no miss-feeding what so ever and fire to almost the last shot (which you cant prevent), then I got a bunch of mids I got off a gun I bought awhile ago that are pretty nice too sadly I dont know what brand they are.

Try actually breaking them in, stripping them down, and cleaning them out. They'll always work after that, assuming the gun's compatible.

There is no other brand of mags but MAG as far as I'm concerned. And there's really no excuse not to use them. They're well-priced, they work great (or at least better than average, assuming you maintain them), you can get them for most styles of guns (M4, AK47/74, M14, MP5, P90), and they even make metal ones now, which you can get from AirsoftGI.

I've been using the same set of MAG M4 mags for over a year, and they've never misfed on me even once, using them in just about every Armalite style gun I've gotten my hands on, plus both an A&K M249 and my L85. AND I bought them used. I think it speaks to their survivability and compatibility, if nothing else.
When in doubt, call it out.

I have had 3 out of 7 of my mag VN m4 midcaps jam up permanently.

Perhaps I'm just an incredibly lucky customer turned avid fanboy.

To be fair though, their full size m4 mags seem to be very good (from what my team thinks of them... I don't use full size mags in my SR16)

Yea I have heard in reviews that MAG are hit or miss when it comes to the M4 mids. It very well could be my gun/receiver though as I have an AGM 416 and some of those mids may just not like my receiver. 3 out of my box of 8 work, but they work pretty well.

All of my MAG brands woork very well. Keep them clean and dont over load them. I use MAG brands in the M4 and Ak. They also work fine. As you know I carry 10 mags(m4) all loaded with no more than 50 In each.
