I ordered two myself. :up:

If you sign up, they're also emailing out 15% off coupons... :up: 

 

I tried it on the 50% off mags, but it didn't except it for that sale item. 

[JohnC]

Any of you guys get one or more of these yet? :hyper:

I love the idea, but the weight scares me.

It's not about the weight, it's about the fire suppression and capability to stay engaged in the fight without as many mag changes (for military). :up:

No rifleman in the Army uses 100rd magazines in their M4's.  Shooting from the prone position with that behemoth would be a nightmare.

You'll note in this video, the guys still laid down with the mag, but used the gun's side mounted backup sights.

Technology, ingenuity and training solve a lot of issues. :up:

I've been told by brother-in-law that the 60 rounders are functional and reliable.

 

I'll let him chime in if he wants on this to verify.

Staged military actor BS.  That kid isn't using his issue weapon, made sure he isn't showing any USMC emblems on his uniform or kit (because it's against regs), and was spouting what Surefire paid him to say.

 

Combat and combat support troops in conventional units don't get side mounted backup sights.  I can't even remember seeing any on SOF weapons, though my experience there is admittedly limited.  So, the inability to fire from the prone with that magazine still stands.  I'll eat my hat if any of these 100rd mags are inside the magwell of an M4 carried by a conventional infantryman outside the wire in Afghanistan.

Meh! Seems a little to "Mall Cop Tactical" to me.

I know some guys who like the 40-rounders, but I've not heard of anyone running these in any real life application.

[Caster]

Those things have got to be rough on a mag catch.  Imagine doing what a soldier has to do physically, and all that weight on the mag catch.  

 

I think they have a good purpose, if they feed.  Like on the firing line at Knob Creek.  Now there's a good place for them!

I've heard that the 60 rounders are pretty good but the 100 rounders have issues. My personal experience is non-existent, just passing on what I've heard from the rep and a couple others.

[Troutburger]

Just leave then in package unopened till the next magazine panic. Cash in then.

[JohnC]

I'm going to test them out before I pass judgement.

On YouTube the only issues I found were with cheap steel cased ammo.

The mag catch will hold up, i have a custom side mount 100 rdnutsacks and 180rd uptight saw box...

Do you have and use any Surefire 100rd mags? They work good?

If not, we can meet up again and I'll let you test these out with your FA. :up:

I've only tried a 60, it couldn't feed the next round fast enough in FA, i was shooting wolf and i think the metal case ammo had resistance.with the follower, if they were plastic it probably be a lot better.

[JohnC]

Well, my mags came.

Colt LE6920 with Slidefire, Tac-Con 3MR, Surefire 100rd mags, etc.

Well...I guess we shouldn't expect to see any video from a prone position :)

 

We are expecting video, though.

[JohnC]

I'll try to find a place I can do a bump-fire mag dump asap! :up:
