Have you tried torture testing LANCER mags for the AR? The came out with a new gen. Edit: I posted this before watching thinking he was just doing the Tmag.
Imagine not having metal feed lips. And being more expensive than Lancers to boot. I’m good :) Side note. I will not run any Amends. I bought some on sale years ago and just kept them loaded in one of the safes with all the others. Noticed about a month ago at the range that the feed lips were separating and it wouldn’t run. Checked all of them when I got home and they’re all separating. 28 in each mag btw. Won’t ever touch another mag without metal feed lips. Even though I’ve never had an issue with my pmags. Won’t take the chance.
i'm interested in whatever madman designed the original Colt/Armalite pattern that was so perfect it could be adopted as THE standard, and adapted by so many brands in so many ways and still hold up to ridiculous levels of abuse like this. we should have that guy design airplanes.
Why no ETS gen 2! I've never seen any mag live up to the torture testing that the ETS mags can withstand. It's weird that you guys didn't include that in your lineup considering it's the one that should be measured against
I can't wait to see the cope coming from the elitist picks on Reddit. Sincerely the T mags released they have been constantly shitting on Lancer. My Lancers have been working perfectly. They are also half the price, shorter, look better, have color options, and have been readily available for quite a while. The main reason to wait for T mags is if you want to be part of the circlejerk.
Idk if you guys are going to see this….but here goes….THANK YOU for the videos on the T7!! After watching these and Garand Thumb’s i decided to wait a little while on getting this. Man, let me tell you I was SO looking forward to this gun in so many ways! Obviously i dont have the disposable income to just buy the OG so this was basically my only other option besides waiting for the PSA version that may or may not even work. I was still on the fence after the first 2 videos and figured I might take my chances on this, i typically don’t buy guns based on anyone’s’feels’ on the internet, but there are a few people that take actual TRUE information that is video verifiable of their experiences with the particular item. As much as it hurts me to wait on this, i feel like i have to until the problems are fixed. Once again, thank you for the honesty on this! It’s getting ready difficult to find people online that truly give their honest unbiased opinion on issues with firearms.
I think if you watch the weight drop test. Weight hits dofferent spots as mentioned. Weight hitting lips where follower is is def going to hurt it more than hitting body.
Any issues with the Tmag not seating on a closed bolt? Mine won’t, and I have to slap it in even if it’s not completely full. EDIT upon finishing the video I noticed you only ever inserted the Tmag when the bolt was locked to the rear. I don’t think it was intentional, I’m just curious if you noticed the same problem as me and others have.
So I just came across people having this issue last night. And I've tried to replicate it but all my TMAGs don't seem to do that. I can seat the magazine on a closed bolt even though that's not something I'd normally need to do I can do it and the magazine stays in the gun.
This was an issue I’ve had with the Lancers. The springs need to work in as they are tight. While I don’t have the issue with my new TMAG I did notice it’s a bit stiffer to insert on a closed bolt compared to my regular M3 PMAGS.
Everyone been telling me the Lancer mags were trash despite years of reliable use. It was like as soon as the Tmag released they were just plain garbage.
The gun community is full of assholes and forum fairies. I don’t think there’s any group that’s more opinionated and divisive, apart from maybe politics. That’s why tests like these are so valuable, it’s based on fact and not opinion.
