Do you guys who have them, like them? How are they as far as the reliability factor is concerned? I have heard they work great in full auto, but have issues when used in a semi auto mode. For those of you who sprung the bucks for one, are you glad you did? Thanks in advance. Bill T.

I have one and like it very much though I don't think I have ever used it in the field.

It is heavy when fully loaded and when hunting coyotes, that is what my AR is for at the moment, I generally stick in a 20 rounder.

I don't like 30 rounders because the drop down too far for most shooting situations.

JMO,

Coz

For the most part, they work if you're lucky.  You can pick out a mag or two that works one week and it takes a shit on you the next.  It looks cool but I prefer the regular 30 rd and the 20 rd for a low profile.
