I picked up a pair of Lancer L5 Mags locally from http://www.eguns.com/ here in Utah.
Sadly, I didn't have time to get them to the range so my impressions are only cursory and preliminary.
So obviously the first thing most will want to know is how they compare to PMAG's
Lighter than PMAG's
They come with green USGI followers. I would think the L5 mags are compatible with Magpul followers, but I haven't verified. After a trip to the range I will see if an upgrade is required, but since all my USGI mags have worked fine, I am not concerned
The L5 Baseplate is rubber which is nice for when mags hit the deck
The feed lips are metal, which means they shouldn't get chewed like as a couple of magpuls I own,.
My general impression thus far is good, base purely upon aesthetics and apparent build quality. The real proof is in the use...and by use I dont mean running over them with a truck. I mean intended use.
So here are some pics. Range pics as soon as I can. For sure these mags are cool as hell.
Once again, thanks to Chad at http://www.eguns.com/ for the great service
