Anyone using Lancer mags?

[ScottinTexas]

I see the advantage of the clear / translucent body.

What's the review on reliability / longevity of these?

I own some gen I and gen II mags with Zero problems.

Lancer's are the only mags that won't seat in my AR built on a billet lower. Magpuls, Colt's and others work in the billet just fine. The Lancers work fine in my LE6920's, so that's where I use them. Check them in your rifles and see if the work for you.

Maybe not as much advantage as you are thinking. If you are as the rest of us and having magwells that you can not actually see through, visible feedback is lost once they run down under 16 rounds.

I've got a bunch of the gen2's and like them.

The steel reinforced feedlips and upper body should make this a long lasting magazine with the benefits of the light weight polymer body. I have had several magpul mags crack at the upper back of the magazine. The Lancer is my favorite and functions in all my cheap AR lowers and RR M16.

Magpul mags are semi-disposable in my opinion, but I still love them. I have many.

Work just as good as pmags and look better. Use them. They have never failed me on semi or full auto.

Switched over to Lancers after having a few PMAGS crack never looked back love the L5s

This is why I like the pmags with the windows. Theres a coil painted orange that lines up with numbers on the window

My favorite AR magazine.

Never had a reliability problem. Very durable. Lock into everything nice and tight.

Problem is that they are harder to find and more expensive. So what I do is if I order from Midway or a vendor that has them, I'd add on one or two to the order and gradually build my stocks up.

Same here. And I'll take Okay. Some of those mag comparison tests are plain silliness. I don't run tank treads over mags, nor soak them in seawater for weeks at a time.

All I do is load, then let the 16 unload. Over and over. For that purpose alloys can't be beat. My P-mags don't reliably keep the bolt back after last round. Let alone losing rounds off the top after bouncing around in ammo cans. Guess I can't stand the covers.
