Would have loved to have been a part of that... The exposure would do wonders.

He hasn't started Part 2 yet, send him a message and I bet he'd include you all in the testing. And seriously, please talk to Monkeyleg on here about having him sell your mags. I'm planning on stocking up on AR mags and I'd love to buy from him instead of Bud's.

I've got no idea what FS 30  means.

Free State maybe?

Full Size 30 rounds, is my guess.

That's exactly what we hoped would happen with the name, but on a larger scale.  Feinstein-Schumer, Free State, Full Size, *expletive deleted*ck Schumer, the list goes on...

I will talk to monkeyleg.  Thanks for the leads!

I like F-Schumer. Now I no longer have to make my AR go pew-pew-pew. It can go Ffff.. you get the idea.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

Reviving this one.

Anyone ever get their hands on one of these to try out?

I meant to post here....

So, i've fired about 300 rounds through one of these.

No failured, the mags function well. They fit tight initially, but loosen up some.

I really like them, especially for the price. They seem very durable and function really well.

I plan to get some more soon... but my current AR works better with 20 rounders when prone. I may wait and see if mangle plans on 20 rounders.

They're real nice. I highly recommend them

I've got a couple hundred rounds through the one I have. So far so good. Fits well in the three lowers I have tried out.

Probably time to pass it along. Who is next in line?

I have used mine here and there, but not a great deal.  No problems at all.

For those who have used them, how do they compare to pmags?

Balog, I couldn't tell any difference in function.
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

I couldn't see any functional difference.  There are probably differences in the thickness of the polymer in places and grip areas.  The follower is a little different. 

I would say to buy a couple since they are cheap, but all of them are cheap right now.

Same here, worked fine for the rounds I put through it.  Sent mine on to Jamis afterwards.

Slightly different polymer, better internal design (smooth curve vs kink).
Worth the price!
