Those G36 PTS mags look pretty sweet.

I have yet to have any problems with my King Arms Midcaps. I have purchased the King Arms 110 Rnd AK ABS midcaps and the King Arms 110 Rnd AUG midcaps. Both fed great and were able to keep the bb's going consistently at 1500RPM with Madbull and ICS bb's. Also one more thing to add about these mags, THEY ARE DIRT CHEAP and incredibly durable! only point of failure would be the little button that retains the spring (i accidentally broke one). Just something we might want to factor in is the brand of bb's, sometimes its the bb's that just dont agree with your magazine...

Ive had the same 10 M4 mags since i started havnt had to swap em out yet however a couple do have broken feed lips but doesnt hurt the function of them and they work in all my M4's, Pretty sure they are MAG brand 120 rnds and its going to be year 7 for these babies.
Thay have been dropped,kicked,stepped on ,painted a dozen times and generaly abused and still are in great shape.

Now that ive said that they will all go for shit at the same time at the first game......................McKinlay luck at its best.

I'm surprised how long you've kept the G36 magazines.

I have for around 2 years:
1 JG original high cap <--still going strong
2 Dboys high cap <-- one crapped, the other unwinds unexpectedly sometimes
2 MAG midcaps <-- no issues. But 1 died after the spring popped out during a game (after I did maintanence).

Btw, the G36 PMAGS are OUT for sale! I will try to get one tonight.

Do any online stores have them (even in HK?)

What the crap, no clips on the side of those P-mags, I love that feature on my G36 mags. mids and high. I too am starting to look around for replacements for mu G36 mags, though I like the high cap I am starting to look at MILSIM a bit more and need the midcap. Definitely gonna keep an eye on this post. I will let you know if I get something good.

my KA M4 metal mags are going on 5 years now I guess, 3 full seasons of HEAVY use. Only lubed them once, never misfed, still working great.

I had a TM G3SG1, I think 5 TM mags were 6 years old, and the new CA mags were 2 years old when I finally sold it. To my knowledge those TM mags are now 10 years old and still going strong. infact the gun is now easily 10yrs old and still working lol

vondnik · February 29th, 2012, 06:29

I have tm m4 lowcaps that are over 12 years old and they still work fine. All my other lowcaps (tm) are about 5 to 8 years old. Funny thing is that my tm based ak ( that i got well used 10 years ago) is even older than it's mags......

Blackthorne · February 29th, 2012, 06:58

Had grey Star Mid nd Real caps for over 6 years and sold them in battered but working condition.

Spike · February 29th, 2012, 07:28

All of my MAG midcaps are still working fine... after 3 years of use. Same with my ol' KA 68 rounders.

A little off topic, but got 2 of those Magpul G36 pmags. All I can say is they're great!

What do they look like when stuffed into M4 mags? How well do they fit? Can you post pics?
