OMG! Alright already. MAGAZINE!!! Didn't know this thread would produce anal retentive individuals. He knew what I meant. If it does not apply to what I wax looking for, please do not reply. Thanks

At times, I have seen 5 round magazines at Sportsworld and Medlocks in Collinsville, if you don't want to order online. I don't know how the prices compare though.

Oh, and by the way, there is not a 5 round law. It is no more than 7 for any 22 center fired rounds that are legal of the 55 grain and 1 1/4 in bullet length.

Thanks TJohn, but Claremore, Tulsa, and Broken Arrow are out of the mags. And they do not know when they will get any in. So, therefore I am scrambling.

Stick with Bushmaster's 5-rd mags or decent quality mags period - CDNN sells a bunch of "surplus" mags that are actually just Chinese junk.

That being said - you could probably take your cheaper mags (since they're just 5rd mags and there's a lot less space in there for things to screw up) apart and clean them and lube with Tetra-Grease or something fairly high-quality and have good mags to use for practice or deer hunting (since you don't generally need more than one shot when deer hunting - there's no way I'd hog hunt with an unreliable mag).

I took apart a bushmaster and a C-Products 5 rounder and their springs and followers were virtually identical, same number of coils on the springs and followers exactly the same with same markings. The Bushmaster 5 rounders seem to have a smooth coating whereas the C-Products has a little more dry tacky feeling to the spring and inside of the mag walls. Apparently that little extra smoothness makes all the difference in reliability between what are basically identical products.

No I don't own a bushmaster rifle. Just a busmaster 5rd mag, I have run it in both my home built AR's and it ran fine in both. Try sportsworld in tulsa tomorrow if you need one ASAP.

 

[wileysnightmare]

Does the followers tilt easily in the fronts? Or is the spring pressure even across the follower?

Sportsworld is out

I have an ar stoner that feeds just fine in my smith and wesson.

Why are you needing a 5 round mag?
I thought the mag limit was for deer only.
