ASC AR-15 5.56 40 rd SS Mags

Does anyone use/have them

Are they any good

 

[baboon]

Personally I don’t want anything longer then a 30 round magazine.

 

[zackmars]

I would not for the following reasons


1, i have had trouble with ASC in the past

2, steel AR mags are thin and fragile, and if you make it longer by adding an extra 10 rounds, you are doing it no favors.

If you want a 40 round mag, go with Magpul.

The only steel mags worth it are HK maritime mags. They are heavy bastards and 50 bucks a pop.

This is why cheaper steel mags are a bit thin. They arent any better than quality aluminum mags.

Why 40 rounders and why steel. Tge downside to both greatly outweigh the extra 10 rounds.

IMHO

Even the HK mags aren't good, easily damaged, non replaceable parts, and very poor spring strength.

If you want metal mags, stick with USGI aluminum

Same here

Say no to asc when you have magpul, lancer, dh, ect

 

[Txhillbilly]

I personally like ASC magazines. I only use 20rd mags in my AR15's, and 10rd mags in my AR10. Don't have any experience with the larger stick magazines, I have no use for them.
I hate magazines that are set lower than the grip of the weapon!

This. ASC is asking for issues.

Didn't know Lancer made 40rd ar mags

Didn't know Lancer made 40rd ar mags

My bad my mind was focused on functionality. Still, say no.

Got any ak mags to trade?

That's not what your wife says...

Get the magpul 40rd. I ran mine hard in 3gun without issue, even with a maglink. I prefer this over a d60.

I’m looking at a few for my AUG as the D60 and it don’t get along.

I've had a couple of the MagPul 40's which ran fine, I wasn't thrilled with how much rattle you get with that much weight. They're also cumbersome, compared to 20s or 30's. I'm about 40-60 split - 20 / 30 rounders. Mostly MagPul, Brownells, and Colt mags. I've had others but honestly, I've narrowed down my selection of makers to what has been consistent for me. A few bucks savings for an iffy mag is a no-go for serious use.

Magpul and lancer are all I’m down to for AR’s. Yes USGI are fine, but they are disposable by design and I understand we reuse them because of the bean counters. I have had to many jacked up lips cause feeding issues though

Yeah, I haven't busted any MagPul feed lips yet, I have had to toss some metal mags due to bent lips.

No

I haven't had a AK in 12 years

If the Magpul mags cause some weirdness due to the models out comes the lancers. I try to leave those in reserve just due to metal feedlips on polymer bodies. But they have better geometry for last round hold open on certain rifles. Looking at you SCAR16…
