Marking magazines

[RLMoeller]

I have seen folks have trouble on the range with brand new mags (used only once, or not) because there was a sticker on the magazine from the factory.  The extra thickness is too much for some guns.  They may go in, but drag.    Marking the base plates seems the best approach, however you decide to mark them.

I would not put any foreign material on a part of magazine that makes it way into the firearm.

And please remove stickers from mags prior to going to the range, remove those, wipe them down, maybe clean them.


Anyhow, I use a paint pen on the mag base.

I write my name in blood on my mags. Blood from the last dude who tried to take one of my mags.

No bloodshed...THIS time.

I am still going to mark my mags, but after cleaning out one of my range bags, I found the lost mag that prompted me to submit the original post.  I don't know how in the H-E-Double hockey sticks it wound up in the pocket it was in, but now I have an extra mag since I had already purchased a replacement.
