So I used those Brownell mags on Sunday and FUCK ME did you curse them or WHAT!? I could only get 60 or so rounds down range before I couldn't be fucked dealing with all the failure to feeds / misfeeds.
Do NOT recommend those mags at all.

So you are the 3rd or 4th (5th?) person to say they are crap.

So my 4 teflon coated 6/14 dated ones didnt work at all. Brownels sent me 4 non-tefloned mags dated 1/14 as a free replacement but I have not tested them yet. Anyway I just bought another two 5 rnd stag mags off gunsnz.com hopefully they will be as flawless (250+ rounds no issues) as the one that came with the gun. I need at least 1 more for WSRA but I am spent out for march having bought all the bits ($200) to reload 223!

Has anyone else had issues with the A cat SPEAR mags? - Mine are a relatively tight fit in my aero precision lower and every two or three rounds they release themselves from the mag well. Don't have any issues with pmags or other metal mags

Yep Ive had to do a bit of surgery on two of my Spear mags so they'd fit. They were real tight so just sanded them back a bit till they went in and out easy. They have been pretty reliable other than that...

Been wondering lately what part/parts of an AR are considered to be the firearm by NZ law? See a lot of 80% lowers in the states, and also there was a post the other day about breaking an AR down in order to legally store it easily while away from your normal storage. Whats the go here in NZ, O'wise ones?

Just a heads up to anyone with Samson rails or other gear, I was after a few small pieces for my rail and contacted them direct, a lady Cathleen replies and she's awesome. Sling point and bipod adapter shipping to me tomorrow I went with the 10inch and shortened to 14.5 barrel so the sonic fit (going back a few pages)

Tried 3 of the Brownells 5 round mags. None of them work.

[steven]

Brownells sent me 4 non-teflon coated mags dated 1 / 14 for free, after the 1st 4 dated 6 /14 didnt work at all. I have not been able to get up to Kaitoke yet to try them, but I bought 2 more OEM stag mags gunsnz. I tried cutting own the spring on 1 but after 3 turns cut off is still mostly jammed and the follower just kept tilting and jamming that way.

Looking for recommendations on a front tube for an (AR rifle ie 18inch plus barrel) and sling mounts. So first off I'd like a front grip/rail/tube that is fairly light weight and suitable to shoot with a sling. I need the front lower of it to be able to attach a bipod to, or a quick detach sling mount so a short pic rail. I dont want a bulky and weighty quad rail. At the back I have a rifle tube so I need something that will clamp onto that to give my a quick detach sling mount point. Ive seen one in the US somewhere but I cant remember where, options in NZ?

Midwest Industries from digit. Best value by far and very nice.

the midwest is very nice and digit has them at a fair price. I have the 10 inch Gen 2 SS. The slick sides are good as you can have as many or as few rails (my preference) as you like on it. Nice and light, finish is good and unlike some rails I tried, it isn't an absolute mare to install so that the top rails are in alignment (if you're planning on fitting it yourself).

What stock are you running? - If it's a compatible one, I have a QD sling mount sitting around that I bought by mistake that you can have for the cost of sending it

I stayed away form the Brownells mags thank goodness, went for the Lancers - steel lipped, poly body design, very happy with them.
Feed flawlessley, drop easily and nice and grippy when handling them.
