Lancer AR mags

#1

Post by Slater »

DSG Arms has a 5-pack of Lancer "L5AWM's" for $59 with $5 2-day shipping. Anyone have any pro-con experience with this particular brand? As I understand it, these have a plastic body but steel feed lips. Sounds like an OK (but not smokin') deal on these, and I might go for it if these are decently reliable.

Actually, awesome deal. Usually never seen under $15. Last time I saw them this cheap was just before Sandyhook.

They are my favorite mags. Love the body texture.

I'm on their E-Mail list so the $5 two-day shipping was listed. Not sure if that's for anyone not on their list?

Yep, got me a case of 10 of them in FDE from DSG a week before Sandyhook for just $100. 1 month later, they were worth $400!

That's why I rely on the aluminum mags with double anti tilt followers.

I use Lancer mags strictly for my 300 blackout for me to differentiate calibers. I like them a lot.

I got a couple of their 20 rounders that would not drop free during some panic buying around an election time. I emailed them and they sent replacements as soon as they made some more because the were out stock. All others have been flawless.

I bought a ton of these, I think during Obama's first term, or maybe before it. Prices had settled but I knew they'd spike again.

Anyways, they've been excellent for me. Have a few 20's and a bunch of 30's.

I like the clear transparent ones. Easy to see how much ammo you have left.
Botach (ptui!) had them on sale cheap, $13. I ordered some, but they sent me smoke instead of clear. Got a RMA, sent them back a couple weeks ago, nothing yet...
Love the mags. Hope I actually get them someday.
