Awful Mags

Got one of these with my FAL I ordered from DSA instead of a Metal/ Steel Mag (which I guess they don't make anymore), and I have to say, it's terrible. (I love the rifle, it's great, but holy smokes are there problems with the Mag production.) First off, the Polymer is cheap-- it's far too soft to be used in an FAL or any 7.62x51/ .308 platform rifle, the plastic shaves off every time to tried to insert or remove the Mag from the rifle (and the Mag was empty). When I loaded the Mag with PPU and Hirtenberger rounds and tried to load/ insert it into the rifle, the Mag had swelled, and was literally unable to insert and seat properly. I also noticed further heavy gouging in the Mag, and plastic shavings. Unloading or downloading the Mag was questionable too, the top curved lips of the Mag would flex, and I noticed further plastic shavings coming off on the Brass, and was concerned that the lips would crack/ break off. I now use it as a paperweight, that's about all it's good for. Do not buy or use these polymer magazines, period.

Do Not Buy FAL Metric Polymer Magazines

Nothing is great about this product! Very poor quality and really disappointed. Magazine feed lips are too flimsy and rounds will just pop-off the magazine even when just two round are loaded. Not even sure how these magazines passed DSA's quality control. Maybe DSA should take a tour at Magpul's facility -they may learn something about quality or just get out of the magazine making business and just stick with making great FN FAL receivers.

not for the RFB

Does not fit RFB....

fal metric pattern polymer magazine

failure to feed, excessive jams

Poor quality

Got two mags from dsa. Loaded each with 20 rnds federal fmj. After two weeks stored loaded both mags started releasing rounds out top of mag without being touched. When disturbed mags would expell rounds out the top of mag. Got two replacements from dsa. Both have held federal fmj ammo ok. Both would NOT retain wolf steel case fmj ammo; wolf ammo came out the top of mags after being stored 12 days loaded with 20 rnds.
