The L5-20’s design incorporates the same impact resistant translucent polymer for the body, hardened steel feed lips and rubber coated bottom found on the L5.
Included in the L5-20’s design are a number of user recommended changes; the magazine well stop has been removed and replaced with a lower profile support rib; making the L5-20 easier to get out of magazine pouches and allowing the magazine to be utilized with the H&K 416. The bottom of the magazine body has been reinforced to improve bottom retention.
Features:
• Made in the USA
• Translucent polymer body that is impact resistant through a wide range of temperatures.
• The L5-20 body design incorporates a constant radius geometry that facilitates follower/spring travel.
• Hardened steel feed lips are permanently molded into the body; feed lips are PTFE coated for corrosion resistance.
• Stainless Steel Spring
• Rubber coated bottom.
• Easy to disassemble and maintain
I have yet to use a 30rd Lancer magazine that will seat without exceptional effort, or at all, under a closed bolt when loaded to capacity. Will the 20s?
This condition is not wholly intolerable, as I’ve long downloaded mags by 2. Still, I’d like to see a day where a 20 or a 30 can be counted on to be exactly that. So far, the ARCs are the only ones that are doing so with 100% consistency.
The L5-20 has more free space than the orginal L5, when 20 rounds are loaded they lock into place easily. The caution is that 21 rounds can loaded into the magazine.
I gained a couple of new 30 round Lancer mags as part of a promotional package. Never had tried 'em before, but now I have and I like them just fine! Seriously, these are good magazines. Steel feedlips, rubber base plate, slim enough to drop free without modification. Lancer mags are what brand M magazines dream of becoming when they grow up.
In fact I liked my 30 rounders so much that ordered some 20 round Lancer mags to complement them. Thanks for making a good product!
