How are Bushmaster's 10 round mags?

[Alldowntheline]

What's the quality like with these? Who has experience with them? Tell me everything you know.

They are not bad, but I have trouble geting more than 10 bangs out of it. Its as if the mag is empty after a measily 10 rounds....go figure.


Just kidding. If you are looking at buying one or two for hunting regulations they work reliably every time for me. But if it is for something other than hunting the money is better spent on 20 or 30 round GI mags for the same price.

Yeah, I'm probably just going to get some decent hi-caps. Bought an Orlite 30 rounder from cheaperthandirt.com. Specifically says it works with Bushmasters. We'll see.

The 10 rounders are great for shooting off sandbags,prone,etc while trying to determine your rifles accuracy.The 30's are hard to use while shooting like this...

I cut mine open just to get the green follower to use in one of my USGI 30 rounders. I use 20 round USGI magazines for shooting from a bench or sandbag.

:) ;) :cool:

The ONE I have works great in my carbine.;c

Mine are very reliable. I also use them for shooting off a bench. I also have some USGI 30 rounders that work good too.
O-R-H

Yeah, I figure they'll make good backups, but I'm going to go for some USGI's.

I had the old 10 round "Frankenmags" put out by Bushmaster a couple of years ago, and they REALLY sucked. I couldn't get them to work, even if I only loaded ONE round in them. Needles to say, they got hacked up very quickly.

They did have nice followers, though.

USGI 20 rounders are great for shooting off a bench.
