I have good success with Okay Industries aluminum mags. Mainly use Lancer and Magpul.
I have some buddies that use them 👍🏼
@@wisemencompany GunMag Warehouse soemtimes has them 11$ for the plain ones. 12$ for colors. KInda insane really as nice as they are. also, as far as ETS mags go ive never used them but that "Cam" thing., the auto loader for pistol mags- that thing is fire.
Honestly thought you skipped Okay bc they are about to stop making them.
Shame they are stopping production
Love my e2 mags. I have about 30 of them and they look pretty good to
You had me at “AR-15’s are important “😂👏🏽
Hahaha they are!
The Gen 3 PMAG uses a dust cover that should be used if you are storing it for long periods. The cover will push the rounds slightly down so that the ammo doesn't put stress on the feed lips.
The dust cover on the PMAGs are a Band-Aid on a problem. Why would you buy magazines with a problem?
@@jungleno. They dont have a problem and are known to be reliable. I bet you use Hexmag or something.
@@Evopandawithalumpia e-lander steel mags.
@@jungleno. have you seen any failures from the problem ?
@@jungleno. FUCK ive been throwing those away
Good video. My old agency issued us ancient aluminum service magazines (to go with our ancient issued M4's and M4A1's...). My first step was immediately ordering Magpul innards (springs, anti-tilt follower, etc.). Juiced them up to decent.
DuraMags are the way to go, especially if you're running other calibers.
CProducts/DuraMag and Okay are by far my favorite. The rest are dumb. Too many PMAGs like to be sticky in my receiver. Lancer just looks stupid and is too complex and I just don’t trust the aluminum feed lips to stay.
Like damn. Make a plastic mag or make a metal mag. The hybrid is goofy.
Oh and ETS Group mags are trash. Instagram was pushing em hard. They’re junk.
@@krispewkrem3feedlips on the lancers are hardened steel, and are injection molded around. They’re not going anywhere. With that being said I prefer okay surefeeds.
It's my preference too. DuraMag 😎👌🔥
My own order:
Magpul
Lancer
Okay Industries
Duramag
Solid.
Lancer L5 awm, Okay Industries Surefeed e2 & Magpul PMags for me. Back when I started shooting every USGI magazine I scrounged up had the old crappy black GI follower. When we found the slightly less crappy green followers we snatched them up like a winning lotto ticket! Now good reliable mags are everywhere.
Great video, thank you for taking the time to make it. My first choice is Duramag SS with chrome molly springs and Aluminum with SS springs, then Magpul M3 and Lancers.
no one mentioned DD 32 round mags!!! i have had great luck out of them on both 556 &
300 BO.... the commits bout the Lancer mags "spitting out ammo" i have never saw personally as a RSO, and we have a lot of people go thru quals!!! the Hexmags i have saw a few with issues... the worst for issues is aluminum mags from everyone.....bent, dented, abused, you name it & they still think they are great!!! i see more Pmags come thru then any other mag tho!!!! thanks for sharing with us... be safe out there
I have mostly duramag speeds then about 10 heavies. Got 3 pmags, a couple hex mag and 1 fab defense to test them out but I like the reassurance of metal over everything else.
Couple videos showing that storing them loaded isn’t the issue; it’s constant use; compression and release of tension weaken the springs. 🤙🏻
This. I’d argue it’s common knowledge now
@@bonsaw57 Too many new owners to assume they know the correct info. Always good to toss em a bone.
Yes ,I didn't know that until a few years ago. I used to load and unload all the time.
Magpul, lancer, dura mag, asc, and surefeeds are all good mags. Lots of people complain about lancers but they work great in my machine.
D&h > durajunk
I have had good use with my Magpul Pmags.
Great vid Ben
Magpul G2 Windowed is my favorite. I also replaced all aluminum magazine followers with Magpul and they work great. It’s a must and superior to the military’s tan followers.
The okay industries, Lancer mags, and d&h Teflon mags from Palmetto have been best for me. Only metal feed lip
Definitely love the SS Duramags.
I’ve had TangoDown mags for years, great poly option
Good to know. Haven’t seen one of those in a long time.
I’m definitely a mag hoarder. I have enough good quality mags to last a lifetime. New, in the package.
Why not load them in case? Lasts longer not loaded?
I have been running both the okay industries and lancer mags. No complaints. I do keep some magpul 40 and 20 rounders as well
Good one bro
I’ve had issues with the Lancers. They don’t cycle with 300 blk either. I’m liking the new DD mags, been 100% reliable. Also had great luck with the Surefeeds. They’re ending production on them though.
wb designated 300blk pmags
Lancer has 300bo mags now
P-Mags...freaking awesome, so smooth and I've never had a problem.
My gen 2 windowed pmag has been max loaded for going on 5 years. I am beginning to notice that it is bulging just slightly and is a slight bit tougher to get into the mag well. It will still go in with a little extra force, but it is bulged nonetheless. Feed lips are still holding well also.
Thousands of rounds through Hexmags. Not a single problem.
im the same way!! RSO here & see alot of shooters come thru training here!! i see more problems with aluminum mags then any others!!
I don’t believe you.
PSA is always running sale on pmags in 5, 10, etc and I guess I'm a mag hoarder, just a little bit behind on keeping them all topped off
D&H, C Products, DSG, Brownells, and Okay/Surefeed have all done well for me for a long time. For polymer, P Mags of course and Hex mags. I have a Hex mag that was loaded for over 5 years....no rounds pop out if you drop it and it worked like a champ during my last shooting session. I got some e Landers last week and will be trying them out. Seems to have a magpul follower or a good copy of it. I have some Troy mags still loaded from 2016..and the rounds re still tight with no pop outs. I had 2 MFT mags, gen1 that the lips failed after being loaded for less than 2 years....pop outs.
5 years isn’t anything bruh. Don’t listen to the “change your mags” crap. Just google the stories
E Landers are good steel mags. Made in Israel.
You got that right.
Put the tops back on the magpul mags it relieves the pressure off the feed lips once loaded. It's why they are included with all mags. 🤯
They’re not, though. They have really only come with about 10% of the PMags I have (which is about 200)
@@OFFICIALUND yes you are correct. All the ones I buy have them. But you can buy them without to save money.
Surefeeds and PMags are my favorites
Suprised by the amount of lancer mag fans. I’ve had a lot of problems with them
Well regardless, you can’t go wrong with surefeed or magpul. Thanks for the feedback.
Lancer zero issues. I have absolutely no clue as to why they are " finicky, won't work right, I hate them ect". They do not sponsor me but me and my shooting crew uses them. I can't even think of an issue. Pmags I have video on thier Glock stick mags, horrendous. I even called the company and talked to a engineer. They sent me out 3 more 27rd Glock stick mags. Still problems- using them in different handguns and
AR9's. Mabey it's the area you live in and the weather conditions?. Looks like a large amount of PNW shooters here. I'm in middle Tennessee. We don't have the rain and dampness like the PNW does.
@@tangomantactical Glock mags are a different story. Always go OEM there for serious use. For AR mags though I haven’t had an issue. With lancers I’ve had a significant amount of double feeds, a few durability issues where they’ve cracked or the feed lips have bent. And also if you drop them while they are full they are almost guaranteed to spit ammo. Should you be dropping your full mags? Obviously not, but it can happen and having them spit half or all your ammo onto the ground is a massive pain in the ass. I haven’t had that issue with Surefeeds and Pmags.
Also for what it matters I’ve lived in Colorado and Indiana so either dry or humid and have had issues with lancers in both locations. I have some so I use them for range mags, but never keep any in my serious kit. This is on two different rifles, both have Aero upper receivers and thats about their only commonality.
Lancer mag user here and no problem so far with them 🤷♂️
I've heard some had problems with early gen Lancers. But if malfunctions are still typical, one would have to wonder why TH-camrs who shoot a ton, such as T-Rex Arms and Military Arms Channel, run Lancers as much if not more than Magpul. They are noticeably less of a joy to seat on a closed bolt than Pmags, however.
Excellent, thanks for the information ... OOH RAH
Like my surefeeds get them while you can. My favorite is still the HK steel roller mags. Expensive but worth it.
Worth it for sure.
On a side note: translucent fde Lancer loaded with some nice shiny brass, smexy
Excellent point.
Imagine a skeletonized mag well with pure translucent mags! 😍
I’ll trade you a few I have for any Magpul. I don’t like the lancer FDEs.
Trust my life to:
*Lancer AWM L5
*Magpul P-mag gen-2 and gen-3
*ETS
*HK steel and aluminum G.I. mags
*Okay aluminum G.I. mags with yellow Magpul anti-tilt followers and high quality springs
*ProMag RM-30 Roller Mag- theyre excellent believe it or not.
The RM-30 is the ONLY ProMag i recommend
Training/Target shooting ONLY:
*Troy battlemags - theyre good mags but the base plate design SUX! NEVER dissassemble!
*Magpul D60 drum- Not reliable.
Mag Couplers-
*Magpul
*SafariLand
Not sure if anyone ever compliments on your shooting but u shoot really good bro
No homo. Right? Right?
ASC has been great magazines for me!
I use the 40rnd Pmags for my vehicle and home.
Great overview on the mags. Appreciate it.
Happy to help. Thanks for watching.
My pro-mags run great with tula ammo. That's a pretty good quality.okay industries, Magpul and lancer are great too
Dura Mag I Can Say Are Flawless 😀❤️😊❤️
Old GI metal mags suck. Newer ones good. Keeping mags loaded doesn't compromise springs. I run DuraMags. To each their own. Nice video guy 😎👌🔥
Okay/surefeed, they’re discontinued but sometimes you can find em NOS or used.
You drive that rifle really well!! Your reloads are just glass. Any tips for a beginner? Besides the cargo shorts that I'm definitely going out to get a pair of!
Practice it. Develop some context. Go slow. Each movement slowly. As it becomes familiar, go ahead and speed up a little.
Then watch some videos on mag changes. Make some changes as needed.
Practice the new method(s).

At 8:11 - which optic mount are you using for your LPVO? I love that top mounted MPS, looks sick
It’s from Reptilia Corp. Solid mount.
Hexmag will feed .300 Blackout with 100% reliability that Pmag will ALWAYS jam in the barrel extension chamber.
Love how you guys throw in a little policy/politics advice-it’s good to know how our decisions affect our freedoms like gun control.
Wish I had ranges like this where I lived smh
TH-cam celebrity crush 😻
I’m surprised ASC made the list, I’ve seen more negative reviews on the than good
Interesting. I haven’t experienced that.
Man I took advantage of a sale and bought a bunch of Okay mags but they won’t fall from mag release. I assume my lower must be out of spec but I don’t have that issue with any others. Oh well they just need a tug ;)
@@literallynobody1515 weapon outfitters had a sale on them a few weeks ago. Figured I’d take advantage on the surefeeds since okay is stopping production on them
D&H make a good one.
Lancer’s are m favorite mags.
One thing I look in addition to your points, is ease to insert on a closed bolt. love magpul gen 3 and gen 2s.
I absolutely hate lancers.
So it's not just me then? My Lancers barf rounds when inserted on a closed bolt without fail. Even with only a few rounds them I'm getting 2 or 3 as soon as the bolt moves. Luckily I only have 2 color matched for a goofy theme build and 3 just for SOCOM. Hex mag for my .308 work better than most and I've not had issues with ETS. Rifle mags I should say, their pistol mags suck and have fat base plates that make a magwell a no go. Pure jam-o-matic. ETS rifle has a longer follower than most tupperware pill boxes. Helpful on a lower with a bit of a sloppy bolt catch that misses other plastic mag followers, a few thousandths of wobble is all it takes. I actually mostly use ASC stainless and like them. Easier in and out of anything, rifle or carrier/pouches. I have a few gen 2 Magpul but they have Endo mag inserts for my PCC, but I do like them. I've actually been enjoying KCI a lot as of late, both pistol and rifle mags. Pro mag price and they don't suck. 😜 Edit: To add more to volume 1: ETS rifle issues I'd heard of were bulging/feed lips opening if left loaded for long periods, but any plastic mag can do that. If I'm storing full for any length of time or in high heat it's steel only. I'm no expert by any means, this is just what works for me. To each theirs. 👍
I just got my American Tactical AR-15 556. Do you know if they make 10 round magazine?
Okay mag base plates seem to bend easy resulting in cutting my palm when banging one into the gun on a closed bolt. It could also be my delicate baby hands.
It happens.
I love duramag
People dont like Pro mag but i dont use the clear ones so my 30 round mags havent caused a jam yet.
Anybody have any stories or opinions on the milspec 20rd adventure time mags?
had major problems with lancer mags
The only problem I have with Lancer is that they won’t make a mag for my mini 14.
the best ones are the ones that work
I only us magpul. I tried 2A mags. I didn't like the neccessary smacknto seat properly.
Lancer mags are by far my favorite. Especially the purple ones cause I look cool.
How didn’t SureFeed E2’s from Okay Ind make the list ya noob! Although I heard a few weeks back that they’re going out of business?!
@6:40 look at this guy with all his fancy maths.
You know you are the first guy to catch that 😂. I thought for sure someone would of said something by now.
I guess most ppl are idiots ..the point of springs are made to be compressed so they should be fine loaded for years ..maybe its cause I did have some engineering schooling and kinda one of the first basics you will learn about
Gen 3 magpul mags, incase you need to use m855 a1 in your rifle.
That was stated in the video.
How many is enough?
no okay surefeeds?
Surefeed?
Government issue tan follower hands down best mags
ATI schmeisser 60rd?
After the recent Bruen Decision, it won't matter what kind of mag, as long as it carries more than 10 rounds, CA gonna suck'em up so hard, Kamala will take notes.
Going to sit back and let our brethren behind the tofu curtain arm up.
@@donalddicorcia2433 Thank you; we are surrounded by clowns.
@@donalddicorcia2433 yep, still need the Duncan V Bonta case finally ruled in our favor. the 9th circus will take their sweet time.
Okay Industries will cease manufacturing Surefeed magazines at the end of 2022. They also make medical supplies, and they will be concentrating on those. 40+ years of making some of the most reliable AR15 magazines that have ever been made. Okay Industries is looking for a company to buy their magazine manufacturing equipment. Hopefully another company will buy them. If not, this 40+ year tradition will be coming to an end.
Any thoughts on the rumor that Brownells was the company that bought OK's equipment?
@@jasonroberts9357-I have not heard anything about that. So, I don’t know.
@@jasonroberts9357-D and H magazines used to be LaBelle. D and H bought all of LaBelle’s magazine manufacturing equipment. Just so you know.
My choice is OKAY SureFeed
What do you guys think about Amend 2 mags?
No experience
I have a couple but not enough rounds thru them to make a call....but no failures after a few hundred and loaded for 2 years. Yeah, I label my loaded mags just because.
D&h best value
What chest rig with a Molle harness is that?
HX Harness sold on our website
@@wisemencompany what's the chest rig? 😏
@@chikafreak bunch of parts and pieces. Center is a micro fight.
I'm not a huge Hex Mag guy but zero issues for me. 300-500rds a month ( my wallet is my ammo sponsor) Run threw 5 different. 223's I have. Actually Lancer is the mag I would choose over any on this planet. Pmags are good but way overrated.
Lancer
I can't get past the plate carrier and lesson on double ear-pro...😂 A proper gun shop can sort out a new shooter without a problem or local range with firearms for sale.
I have to say I love my carbon fiber hex mags so far ..only maybe 1000 rds through the 6-8 I have but so far so good
Idk how the plastic hex mags are ..I knkw the carbon fiber are made well but there few more bucks
I do love my lancers ..always in my kit cause there awsome lol
The best AR mags are AK mags
I avoid gen 2 p mags like the plague and the 3s are just average. Carbon hexmag, lancer, and ETS are far better IMO, especially since the gunmagwarehouse ETS exclusive is 7.50, holds 31 and seats easily on a closed bolt with a gentle push. Honorable mention to Thril pmx, may become my new favorite if it keeps performing the way it does.
10+10+10=30 quick maths
Ayooo
🤙🏻👊🏻💪🏻🇺🇲
Keep that mag off the deck
😂
Add Troy mags to that list of DO NOT BUY
Lancers suck imo. You tap the bottom slightly too hard and the rounds spit out.
Never experienced that.
Lancer are my go to mags and I still have a metric ton of Magpul I have used since Gen 1’s. Lancer L5AWM are my go to these days. I keep an eye out for sales and by them in bulk. I probably have used every magazine known to man popular to the AR platform but at the end of the day, its a disposable and always were meant to be in my professional opinion. They wear. They bend. They get crushed. (Especially older aluminum style)
How would that be an issue, exactly?
I've seen that happen as well.
@@Nuke-China if you do a reload and slap the mag to ensure that the mag catch is engaged...can cause a double feed.
Anything that's not an AR15.
ETS MAGS are awesome bro wtf???
🤦♂️ no one ever talks about IWI steel mags which imop are the best ar mag period
ASC is garbage in 308
Daniel Defence … I use Magpul and Dura Mag will give Lancer a go
Magpul dose not stand behind their products and will not issue a replacement, refund, or even a partial creadit for manafactures defects on items that they sell. If it is defective you are stuck with it. Go with anything other than Magpul!!!
Magpul makes the among the best furniture and magazines on the market even vetted by the military and sold in BX's for a reason.
Your personal anecdote against magpuls decades of product development and vetting does not hold up.
Just gonna share some terribly unreliable mags: ETS Group. Just garbage.
And Magpul PMAG, not exactly unreliable, but I’ve had many that like to just get stuck in my magwell. Not an issue for a loaded mag. But empty mags don’t always drop out free. Big issue? No.
I just prefer CProducts mags. They’re like $10-11/piece and they’re sexy and they’re reliable.
Why do we have to watch video of you playing big time operator?
No reason to try and impress anyone.
GI mags and Lancer have proved themselves to me and magpul have let me down a number of times so I wouldn't have them in my load out.
I do agree about inspecting your mags and make sure they are good to go.
7:45 he looks and watches the round chambered but then thinks I should do a press check for no reason. Difference between checking the chamber of a gun before you go out As opposed to checking everytime you chamber a round when at the range .
I didn’t, “think I should do a press check for no reason”. I had a very good reason and after I press checked nothing bad happened.
@@wisemencompany it's a bad habit to have but you're in Florida so I give up and say I'm wrong . I enjoyed the video on your friends cz p07 .
AR-15 mags I don't recommend: A. Mako Tactical Steel. Was sticky in insertion and extraction from my AR. Gave to ally. B. PMAGS. Flunked Tire Irons Tests. Gave to ally. C HERA. : Has tiny part that can be lost, potentially rendering the mag inoperable. D. USA and PROMAG. Two disasters you should at all costs. E. Aluminum mags: not sturdy enough.
Three AR-15 mags I recommend: ASC stainless steel. Function flawlessly in my AR with regards to isertion, feeding, and removal. B. Hex mag S2. Same experience but with tool free disassembly and reassembly also. C. Lancers with metal feed lips. Pure awesomeness per Tire Iron's tests.
Magazines I'd like to encounter : A. CPD SS Mag. B. Thril PMX MAG. C. Amend 2 mags. D. Okay mags. E. Surefire,. F. MFT Gen 3 G. CMMG MAGS.. Does any know of any more magazine brrands of my consideration? Thank you in advance.
I mean. I get that you're fishing for a sponsorship. But Magpul mags are mediocre on their best day. Lmao!
Drops free, clicks in easy, vetted by the military for its superior feeding performance over lancers and gi mags after insane round counts.
Thats not mediocre.
