5.56 AR compatible drum magazines.

[wildrider666]

5.56 AR compatible drum magazines. I have been considering getting one from time to time but never checked them out. Any recommendations and comments on: brand, fit issues, function, reliability and so on. Is one size/capacity better the another? Duel drums?

Thanks for your time,
WR

I know that there are a lot of them on the market, but the only one that I have heard consistently good information on is the Beta Mag C-mag. There are lots of copies of it, and they might work, but I paid the $250 ish for the real deal. I haven't used it yet, but it is well constructed and a quality piece of gear.

I got mine at cheaper than dirt, it came without the case and loader at a cheaper cost, which I didn't know at the time. I'd have rather gotten the case and loader with it. Hope that helps!

They were on sale last week too,actually SAT. Their sales usually run a while,as for mags I have heard to only get the betas,but have no first hand experiance in all honesty.

Mine did, but you will have to get with them to see if you can work the same deal.

I guess you got a point man haha. I wonder how the gun will run with all that weight hanging from the bottom of it?

I need a scale to weigh it with, but with the mag loaded in my Sig 556 it weights what I estimate to be a metric ass load. I don't think that it will effect function at all.

To me th biggest turnoff of these would be the podered graphite you have to add to the mags,seems like a frikin mess waiting to happen...

 

[ilintner]

Maybe I should read the directions on mine, I did get a tube of graphite, but I didn't apply any of it while loading. Seems to work smoothly with what was already in there.

Magpul D60. About 110 for them. Overpriced yes.....

XS is very anti gun.

Beta c. Make sure it comes with pouch, loader and graphite. Otherwise it's a rip off or a fake. Works as a stand too, lol "" clear back ones had issues. Also no lrbho.
