[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 1895260, member: 229"] I just got my smoke/translucent Lancer L5 AWMs in and these are a definite improvement over their older Lancers (but still a touch more expensive than PMAGS by $1-2 over the windowed). These things are noisier than Aluminum GI Mags (or steel mags for that matter) when empty, and there's not as much clearance on the nose of each round when they're loaded up (so none of the larger 5.56 hand-loads if the OAL is much more than XM-855). This equates to a little looser fit in the magwell of both my son's Spikes and my Noveske, but the good news is that they seem to function fine while stripping rounds out of the mag (and ejecting). Haven't fired with it yet, but they drop-free a little easier than PMAGs so too (I've had some PMAGs get a little snug and not drop-free from my Spikes and LMT lower before - not sure if that's specific to those lowers or PMAGs in general). Overall, I'm happy with them - the added visibility in the mag is cool (I don't know how useful it is - just like in the Mag-Level windowed PMAGs, once they get inside the magwell, you can't see anything anyways) and they were only $18.95. The cheapest Mag-Level PMAGs are what - $17 and some change? I may go ahead and order some steel mags and put in the Magpul followers and possibly upgrade the springs if I get bored Maybe I'll try out some of the CMMG Immortal mags I hear are completely indestructible :) [/QUOTE]
