PstCntrl's Review of Global Ordnance AR15 5.56/.223 30 Round Rifle Magazine
These mags look really nice and I thought they'd be cool to have for a "retro" look. The metal body is made well but all 3 mags do not drop free from the mag well when you push the mag eject button. One of the three did not lock the bolt back on empty.
I tried them in 2 separate rifles, known to work 100% with Duramags and Magpul Pmag Gen 2.
I wish I could post photos, but what I see when I insert these mags into the lower, is that the follower slips past the mag catch, whereas on Duramag and Pmag it doesn't. I don't know if that is the only issue, and not sure if this is properly named "over-insertion". But the follower should ride inside the narrow channel in the back of the mag, which allows the mag catch to sit on top of it when inserted.
I am starting to prefer polymer mags - specifically Magpuls - but I've never had any issues with Duramags in 556, 350L, 308, or 6.5 Grendel. Will not buy any other brands anymore.
