Lancer L5 Mag

Lancer L5

I was loading mags Sunday about to practice tac reloads and was loading some mags with 1 or 2 bullets. I have 2 L5 mags, 1 M3 Pmag and the rest are m2 pmags. Anyway went I got to the lancer mag I loaded 1 prvi 5.56 and it popped out the feed lip. I started looking at it and it was cracked where the plastic meets the steel feed lips. Then I thought about why and remembered I had dropped it a few weeks ago on the floor in my reloading room(concrete). That sucked and was my fault. As long as it hashes than one cartridge it is fine. I RFID reloads for 20-30 min. With it cracked and it wasn’t a issue but when you thing about it in a combat situation that could f#*% you. I’ve never had a pmag crack. I really like my L5s so I’m not bashing. Just check you’re lancers feed lips periodically.

Lancer, Pmags, USGI mags, whatever…they all will eventually croak. All mags need to be inspected regularly.

How many rounds through it do you think?

All mags do die eventually…but my Lancers have been TITS.

Well I’m glad you told me I never knew.

Lancer sent me a PM today. They are taking care of it 110% percent. That is awesome.

BTW mag has had maybe 100 rounds through it for other guys talking above

Easy, Tiger.

It’s a good point for the people who just browse the site and don’t post.

Haha I know. I check my mags thats why I noticed the crack.lol

Lancer is a great comapany for those of you that haven’t dealt with them.
