I found the best mags for the AR are the old standard 20 rd mags for the M16. Made of steel and always worked.
I always figured if I can't do it with 20 rounds the extra 10 are gonna be a waste anyway. Any in 3 gun, I've never seen the advantage of 30 rounders over the 20. Plus, like I learned in SE Asia, I only load 18 in the 20s.

What's special about them besides having "H&K" on them?

The HK steel mags were the thing for a while.
They are a novelty without any real advantage. Good find, though. Its always nice to add to the collection.

Had a few of those sold all but 2. The differences are theyre built like a tank, have a steel dual follower, about a 1/2in longer, there fore hold 30 rds better than a standard issue GI mag. When I was in Iraq 06' we were issued them and a few made it home with me. They were the best before P-Mags came out.

I was under the impression that P-Mags were the cadillac of AR magazines. Followed by Lancer Warfighter and Tangodown. P-Mags are so cheap and reliable I dont see buying anything else. I have yet to have a problem with my rifle due to magazine. P-mags are the best.

Kraigwy, I also like the metal 20-rounders. But I notice that you said they were steel.
So, since I like to learn things, were the original 1960's 20-round mags made of steel, not aluminum? Bart Noir

Simple solutions though...don't try to load a full 30 with a closed bolt. Works just about perfect when you don't do that. |

nice find on the HK mags! I'd be inclined to grab a few more just to stick up on ebay!

as for me, I've had PMags in some pretty craptacular places, conditions, and situations, and never had a single problem with them. I even dropped one, which landed lips down, cracked the spine about 1". it dumped 4 rounds out when I picked it up, and then cycled the remaining 26 flawlessly. I tossed it afterwards, but any mag that can fire 26rounds despite critical damage is a winner in my book. I think i'd call them the Tacoma (inexpensive, rugged, reliable) of magazines, and reserve the caddy title for the H&K ones |

I also stumbled across a cheap H&K LEO only mag a couple years ago. Hardly ever use it now, too heavy plus I like good GI or polymer mags.
