Syntec 30 Round AR magazines?
« on: February 01, 2013, 05:37:29 PM »
Anyone have any experience with, or opinions about, these?  I have a chance to buy a few of these but I've not heard of the brand.  Thanks in advance for your opinions and insights.

Seem pretty cheap to me. I have a ton of thermolds that are known for being cheap in more ways than one, but I have never had a single issue with the 15ish thermolds I have. So if you are desperate for some I would get one first then add more if you like them.

Acording to some users on Ar15.com  they are (in their words) TURDS  :o

They are Korean made junk.

Plenty of Pmags for sale on ARFCOM for $25-30 each and PSA has had aluminum GI mags for under $20 each off and on all week.

I'd stay far away from the Syntec crap.

If you're not desperate for mags right now...Mako Group has mags available (heard good things about them @ $19/ea).  It might take a month or so to get them.  You can also put 20 or 30 round PMags on backorder at Red X Arms for $19/ea.

My understanding that these are made in North Dakota not Korea.
Can anyone confirm this?

I'll remain open minded on whether not these are any good until I have some first hand experience with at least a few of these.

Originally, these magazines were +/-  $10 at various retailers.
Now, because of the extended panic buying craze these are at least available to those willing to pay for them. 

I agree @ $25 per , I'd rather stick with getting Pmags, USGI's, etc. for any serious use.
In fact, I was stocked sufficiently prior to Obama's 1st term election.

However, I'm simply curious.

Inferior copy of Magpul's EMag design.

They were overpriced back then...
