New MAG M16 and MP5 Plastic Magazines
 
Has anybody heard of these or tried them out?
Saw them on Redwolf Airsoft.

Comes in packs of 8 and are plastic
M16 mags carry 120 rnds
MP5 mags carry 90 rnds

These new MAG mags are more expensive than STAR mags, carry more ammo, and come with 2 less magazines.

Got a link or something. Where did you hear about them?

I have nothing to add, But i saw these on a site and just wanted to know if they where worth buying.

From the sources I use to get airsoft stuff, a box of 10 STAR 30 round mags for the M16 cost 90 + shipping. The MAG brand ones cost exactly the same, through the means I get my airsoft stuff from. From what I read and understood, the M16 type mags were only 100 rounds. So you pay equal price for either the capacity to carry 300 or 800 rounds. I'd rather sacrifice the two mags for the extra 500 rounds. Also, UNCompany lists the construction as plastic, so I would guess that they are basically the same as the STAR 30 round mags. I have 4 of the STARs, and although they function flawlessly, and look "not-horrible" in my SR-16, they are VERY lightweight and feel very "toyish". But at about 9 bucks a pop, they ain't half bad.

To thread jack - they work great for me. Only loaded them up twice though.

Got four MP5 mags - $10 each + shipping.

Look just the same as a Star - seems same color, etc.

I really recomend them. And yes, they are plastic. Just like Star.

I've 16 of the MAG mags for the Sig and they needed some lube for some proper feeding. Three of them also had damage/flaws on the tabs on the side. That was Minor IMO though. I've yet to seriously use them so I've still my fingers crossed. However, for the price....you can't really go wrong.

I think Storeskeeper on this forum sells the MAG mags.

JohnnyDo April 7th, 2006 22:47

personally and from people I have sold them to, they feel more solid then Star but are still made of plastic. Perhaps it's the type of plastic they use or how they build them but they just "feel" better.

As for fit and funtion, a few of them need a drop of oil to feed correctly but this only happens a couple of times. i have not personally seen any noticable defects in manufacturing so overall i'd have to say they are very good quality. The mags so far have fit and performed very well in all the guns people have purchased them for from me. The only complaint so far is a couple drops of oil to fix a feeding issue. Other then that, they work 100%.

For the price you can't beat the deal.

i am thinking of buying a fried chicken is it a good deal? it only comes with two helpings of sauce.

BuSaPuNk April 9th, 2006 23:41

yeah storeskeeper has MAG brand mags. I bought 4 of the mp5 90rds of him, no problems with them no feeding issues....if you don't want to shell out the money there a good alternative

I see someone who makes posts, with absolutely nothing to do with the topic at hand..a waste of space. A guy at my school said t he mags are nice, but doesnt like how theyre plastic

DJ_Mittens June 26th, 2006 22:35

I see that MAG also has has 100-rd G36 mags, a pair in a box for $18USD. Anyone have experience with them, or would they likely be comparable to the Star mags, as with the MP5/M15 mags? Four 100rd mags for the same price as a single 50rd CA mag... tough choice....

Dr_Tinshnipz June 26th, 2006 22:41

I like the M4 MAG mag's a little wobble for the people who hold their mags but they still do there job
