gulfcoastsaiga 1 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hello, I finally received my MSA adapter and before I start milling out my receiver I decided to see how my Pmags fit in there. My first impression of the adapter was the release felt very gritty. I first tried a cheap lancer mag and thought I would have to break the mag to release it from the grip of the adapter. Then I tried some of my mag-pro pmags and they took quite a bit of effort to insert, did not drop free and took a lot of effort to pull out. I do understand it's not installed in the rifle yet and have read some users have posted better luck with USGI metal mags. Regarding the gritty feel to the release; if I push it to the side it will not spring back in its place unless I push it back. Almost as if the spring is too weak or some filing/lubrication needs to be done. Any suggestions on that part? Also, can someone send the directions that MSA supplies with some of the orders. EDIT: As Schultze noted they are designed for metal mags, looks like I have an excuse to buy some more mags now Edited January 4, 2012 by gulfcoastsaiga Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well I haven't got one yet but I do remember being told that the ploymer mags were tight and would not drop free on most guns. it was designed for metal mags so try one of them and see how the release is.

gulfcoastsaiga 1 Posted January 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Nevermind, according to the instructions I received from MSA, PMAGS are suggested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

essohbe 47 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Yeah, if they are designed with metal mags. I have a bunch of P-mags and they are "fatter" than the USGI metal ones. People have complained they don't fit into molle pouches right either, lol. Man I can't spell... Edited January 6, 2012 by Kalashniklown Quote Link to post Share on other sites
