Group buy on large capacity mags

[joao01]

what is the M118 mag vs regular? Are M3s really worth the cost over M2s?

The M118 is made with slightly larger inner dims to accommodate loads with an OAL > SAAMI spec (mostly the heavy bullets). If you're shooting factory-loaded 168gr or even 175gr, it's probably not necessary.

M3 is supposedly superior in terms of material (polymer is stronger than M2), but there is nothing wrong with the M2. I know some people have said that M2 is prone to expansion/distortion in extreme heat, and particularly the FDE for whatever reason, but I've never had issues with mine (black or FDE), and I've used the hell out of them (though not in 100+ degree heat).

So who is doing a group buy on large capacity mags?

Just asking for a friend...

Oh, who makes the best ones?

Are we talking .223 AR platform?

Whatever the weapon, stay away from ProMag.

True in most cases but not all. For instance their MKA 1919 mags rock, and for years were the only inexpensive 10 rd mags for this gun

Yeah, high/large capacity means above standard to me. Drums and extendos. I would like to pick up an AK drum, Magpul drum, and even a Scorpion drum, but we just had some transients move into the woods near by, so I'm upping my security right now.

Anyone know an online retailer with a good price on Magpul 7.62/.308 magazines?
