[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 1785268, member: 5412"] Well, I have experienced aluminum mags at a soldiers level. The mags one gets in the military in my era were in really poor shape, and it was rare that you got to keep the same mags for your tour. You grabbed what was in the pile, loaded them with 19, and went out on patrol. There was no such thing as mag maintenance unless it was full of mud. If they were, find a mud hole and rinse them out. We had a lot of malfunctions, some from the gun, some from the mags. The conditions were not conducive to proper gun maintenance. Current time. My buddy's sons Unit was deployed to Afghanistan He was a SAW operator. Having been raised by a dad that retired from the Army after a 20 year career as a drill Sargent, he knew the importance of mag maintenance. He was experiencing so many malfunctions that dad bought aluminum mags from Brownells and sent them across the pond. His malfunction rate went way down. [/QUOTE]
