And that's what I'm talking about. PCV (Press Check Ventures) mags are made of crap plastics. P-Mags (the ones you used in the military) are great quality and will function more reliably than the metal mags.

I was agreeing with you... plastic mags are fine but it depends on build quility.
Well then I guess I'll start dreaming of the day Magpul decides to make AR pistol mags, they have the look Id want just need that extra capacity
On a side note I cant say it was only the mag causing this, but a guy beside me had a 7.5" NEA, I let him try my shorty so he let me try his after. He had about 6 P-mags loaded up. I picked up the rifle and when I put a mag in the bolt dropped just inserting the mag, then I was like thats not right. So I dropped the mag and put in an empty one, and tried to lock the bolt back with the charging handle. From what I know with my rifles with an empty mag it should always lock back on its own. It was iffy it would lock sometimes and sometimes it woudlnt, but then just dropping the empty mag would drop the bolt again...It was like any slight jerk of the mag would drop the bolt. I told him something was possibly wrong with that mag, so he marked it and used others. And after he was done he told me it only happened with that mag. It looked just like all his other mags, but that one just didnt want to function properly and it looked almost brand new.
Then again I dont read very many good reviews about NEA so who knows maybe it had more to do with the rifle then that one mag

Yeah I love it, I have 2 blast shield/muzzle devices, that Ferfrans CRD on the 7.5" and a Griffin blast shield on my 10.5". The Griffin doesnt have any holes on the sides so the flames are a little smaller and get shot forward more. The CRD has small holes all around the outside of the cylinder, it gives off more of a fire ball rather then a flame
I haven't gotten into the shot guns much yet, I think Ive actually only shot maybe 8 rounds total out of shot guns, and its always been someone at the range saying "Here try this"

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
I'd like to see Magpul make .50Beo mags.. They'd make a killing in Canada. I think the biggest issue with NEA were their growing pains and how they handled the criticism on CGN. In general they're ok as long as you don't buy anything with moving parts from them. I wouldn't run one of their BCG's but I'm perfectly happy with one of their stripped lowers and had no issues with one of their stripped uppers. I heard their barrels are also OK.

Nope but is Alexander Arms really worth $87 per magazine?
I sent a PM, Id like to try them out, just wondering about the price

Heading to Target on Wednesday
Good to shoot the big guns there yet?
They are approved for up too .223/5.56 for now, larger caliber approval to come later
Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
Nice I was planning to go today, but I woke up late. If I dont leave Mississauga before around 2PM its not even worth the hassle for me with the traffic
What did you shoot? Just range guns or you bring your own toys? The first day I was there for larger calibers, Ivan a range officer was grabbing like 4 rifles off the showroom floor to setup as range guns. So they have a few nice new rifles to shoot, if I remember correctly a DD MK18, DD M4 V5, CSA VZ 58, and a T97

Damn that guy is fast, he responded to my PM like instantly. Paid for 3 to try out via EMT, will see how they work out
After my purchase he should have 4 left

Do it for sure man. 7.62x39 is such a fun round.
1.70 a shot for .223 at Target is a little excessive though, gonna hold off until they can handle FMJ rounds, 9 bucks for 10 357 mag is fine though. Got a bunch of extra shots in cause they were light-striking the primers so the RO was just like, **** it dump the whole cylinder

Going for some Pew pew tomorrow. Excited as it's been over 2 weeks since I've played with my boys.

Re: We know you ride, but do you Shoot?
Started buying all the parts and pieces to basically build this!
Savage 10tr in .308, mdt tac 21 chassis, magpul prs stock, harris bipod, linear compensator, vortex viper 6.5-20x50 scope, ergo grip...
Been an expensive week!
