10 round AR mags

[peterk123]

Just ordered a half dozen. Felt wrong, like a broke some NES AR code.

Can I offset this like rich people do with their private jets and carbon credits?

Do I need to purchase a like amount of 30 rounders?

 

[Golddiggie]

You need to purchase at least double that amount in 30(+) round magazines now. Bonus points if you get some 40 rounders.

The 10rd Pmags are great for shooting off a bench.

Agreed. We also will use them in the field this winter when chasing coyotes.

Are they for sighting in on a rest or something? 10 rounders are good for that.

That but really for hunting purposes. It's rare that we have a nice comfortable place to shoot. Usually dealing with boulders, dead fall or laying down with the pack supporting the rifle. The 30 rounders are just to cumbersome for that.

I still take my MA kosher 20 round PMAGs pinned to 10 for range use. Looks better and more reliable feeding than the little dinky ASP 10 rounder mags.

Oh, definitely a good idea. Way better for hunting. Even the 20s are significantly better for that kind of thing. But if you don’t need or can’t have 20 rounds in the gun due to a hunting law, might as well go 10.

I love shooting with 10’s and 20’s from the bench. In general I probably use 20’s more than anything else.

 

[tuna]

Not an AR fan, but I always liked the 20 rounders.

love shooting with 10’s

for the range, absolutely. for practical reasons - there are some 10rd mags out there that are 10rd only if restricted by a removable pin.
just saying.

Are these 30 round if you take the pin out?

you have to look at the design. cmmg 9mm and 22lr ones are. i have a bunch of mags for ar10s that are same, that can go to 20 from 10.
there are more like them also.

 

[whatluck]

That's not a 30 round 5.56 mag. It's a 10 round 6.8 SPC magazine.

 

[LuvDog]

I actually like the 20 rounders the best too.

Make that three. I have a bunch of 30's but prefer 20's which I have more of. I don't bother with either at the range and just use my 10's as that's the string I fire anyway and they're the same length as the 20's.

 

[Coda]

I like the 20 round GI mags over the 30's. The 30's stick down too far.

You know you are old (like me) when you can remember buying used 20 round GI mags out of a large bin at "Army Navy" stores for a couple of bucks.

Those were the days......

Short 10 round mags look gay in any AR…

 

[G4Y4HK]

Just buy 30 round "PMAG repair kits". They come fully disassembled and 50 state legal. If you're in MA, also buy the mag blocks so you can only load up 10 in em and make sure to super glue it in place so it's legal and legit.

 

[peterk123]

Gives me one high spot, the grip, so it can pivot down if needed if I'm in a weird spot. Maybe it's gay but when I'm crawling into position to get a shot it sure is handy. Never thought I'd use them. If I need more than ten shots on a coyote then I need to just quit and take up another pass time.

That’s no longer legal in MA (having the full kit unblocked or keeping the old follower).

“Large capacity feeding device”, (i) a fixed or detachable magazine, belt, drum, feed strip or similar device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily converted to accept, more than 10 rounds of ammunition or more than 5 shotgun shells; or (ii) any part or combination of parts from which a device can be assembled if those parts are in the possession or control of the same person

Well. With a 50-100x scope. I hope you do not miss

Damn. Gonna need a Sherpa to lug that around.
