Reviews & Ratings for Duramag 7.62x39mm Stainless Steel 5 Round Rifle Magazine — 57 reviews — Page 1

This is what I needed. A perfect fit. Seems to be good quality.

I bought this hoping that it would work with my Bear Creek 7.62x39 upper, the answer is, it depends. When I loaded Steel Cased bullets the rounds hang up in the magazine. I checked YouTube and there were all sorts of fixes to the various mags from different manufacturers, unfortunately none of the fixes pertained to the issues with this particular magazine. There are two dimples on each side of the curved top of the magazine. When you manually push a bullet forward, the recess between the primer base and the main body of the cartridge is hung up on the first dimple, then, as you continue to push the round forward, the second dimple again hangs up the round. It takes quite a bit of effort to get the steel case round to eject from the magazine. Also, I think that the corrosion prevention coating on the casings deter the round from smoothly ejecting from the magazine. I haven't been able to cycle, let alone shoot, a single steel cased round.

On a positive note: This magazine seems to like BRASS casings which seem to cycle quite nicely.

Needed a spare mag and this worked as described. Each round cycle without any issues. Would recommend if looking for a spare mag.

I have about 4 or these, prefer the 5 or 10 round mags for bench shooting, sighting in, etc. I have used them in quite a variety of builds, have never had an issue with the magazine.

I have several of these for my 7.62x39 AR's. The 5 and 10 round mags are the same length. The 20 has quite a curve in it and for a good reason. They feed anything I put in them, even cast lead bullet reloads. No sharp edges, flaws or complaints. These are good magazines.

Works great as i use them for deer hunting in WI. EASY TO LOAD

Duramags equal reliability & Durability. Great all metal construction that never have a failure to feed and only runs dry when the ammo runs out

Works great, does not jam. Some mags jam and can not be repaired or adjusted.

The mag has a plastic (or polymer) follower which is non binding. The mag has letoff of the spring to allow it to be inserted into the gun when loaded to capacity (5 rounds). The mag is "drop free" in my CMMG receiver. (another plus)

Most reliable I've found on market at this time. C Products are the Best Available unless PMag ends up making some in the future. I found the 20 rounders work best at 19 rounds, as well as the 28 round only load to 27. For some reason the 10 and 30 rounders can be filled to stated capacity.
