Best AR-15 Magazine

[Jestik]

Hello all,

I just recently got into the AR-15 market. I am building my own AR, and I went with quality parts that were recommended by a friend of mine. I currently have zero (0) magazines for this rifle that I am building, and that is unacceptable to me. So I want to ask you guys, the AR-15 guys, the ones that know what's up....

What is the best AR-15 magazine out there? I plan to buy a lot of them, and I want to go with something that is good.

Thank you,

Jestik

Pmags are the gold standard. the new Hex mags might give Magpul a run for their money.

What generation?

Never had a problem with PMAGs. Got a few dozen. I have a few others, some GI, some Lancer, I think? Those are still in the package, never tried any of my other ones.

The best mag is the one that works, no matter who makes it.

The better quality magazines as I see them in no specific order.

Magpul
Troy
Lancer

My original 20 Rd mags with the original follower has never failed.

The 30 round aluminum GI mags with the anti-tilt follower.

The 3 mags that top the reliability scale are Lancer mags with the steel reinforcements, PMags (any generation), and Brownells G.I. Aluminum Mags with the anti-tilt followers.
All three have very proven track records.

All three can and will fail if abused hardcore.

All three fail "differently."

For 95% of the population, all three will last you a lifetime besides a spring change after a few thousand rounds being fed in and out of the mags.

I like pmags and gi mags with anti tilt followers. Had some Troy mags and they just weren't cutting it for me. Not as easy to disassemble as a pmag. And I didn't like the feel of them. They work though. I just really like pmags. I don't think you can go wrong with those. Plus they are cheap.
