Nothing really. Just a ploymer 30rd mag. They're tough as nails though.


Actually no.

The Pmag has an anti-tilt follower that prevents the follower from binding during feeding.

It also has dust covers that cover up the feed lips and the internals of the magazine during storage.

It also does not have the large weld marks on the front and back that make metal magazines so brittle.

There are videos of people running over them with busses. There are videos of people filling them with dirt and shooting a full mag out of them.

They really are THAT good. There's a reason soldiers stockpile those things to bring with them into combat.

Y'all be careful with Botach. They wont say when shite is backordered, then you'll get an email later on saying "oops you have to wait till may"

They're usually solid, but they have an iffy reputation.


On another note:

Josey, i love you brah

just had to get that out

I've never dealt with Botach but saw them mentioned a few times today.

I was kinda suspicious when none of their stuff said back order.

We shall see.

Saw this advertised by AR15.com a little while ago. Aero Precision stripped lower for $99, free shipping + FFL fees.

Aero Precision is pretty good. 99 is high as shite though.

They are mil-spec, and they have a pretty awesome anodized finish. It's a nice glossy black.

I remember seeing them in the 60s and 70s a while ago. The value must've shot up over the past few days

I was reading some reviews of people buying them at $60-70. This is straight from Aero, so I'm thinking they're seeing no supply out there and bumped the price up. The aluminum they use is a fairly hard one, so it should stand up to abuse. I'm debating it, will see what the banker will allow me to spend.
