Are the $6.99 PSA mags any good?

got a few, the coating is a bit sticky to the touch.
Unloaded they are very noisy.
Load and operate just fine.

Generally you pay for what you get. Cheap mags like this are what I consider "disposable" mags. Good for a few uses and I wouldn't mind tossing them or losing them after I've used a couple times.

I wouldn't want to take them into combat or the apocalypse but it's not going to stop me from taking them to a range day.

For half the price of pmags, they're fine.

What mags would you take into the apocalypse then?

Lancers.

mah niggah.

The PSA mags are on point. I buy 10 at a time, the anodizing is sticky but a good thick conversion of anodizing is always sticky like that especially if they are Teflon impreganted.

They've always worked great for me but I haven't reloaded any of them more than 3 or 4 times

What's the realistic "usability" of standard USGI type magazines? Could you load and fire one at least 20 times? A hundred times? Before the feedlips and/or springs fail?

I don't think there's any real metric to measure that.

Hundreds of times. That's all you need to worry about. Buy these and just sit on them. Pmags will do everything you need.

I have both of those magazines. Different color Lancer though.

I dont see why they wouldnt be any less practical than a p-mag seeing as they have magpul springs and followers in them. As long as you aren't dropping them onto concrete over and over they should last a while.

Oh look sold out. thanks OP

Except there is. MIL-C-43827. If this thread is around tomorrow I'll pull the spec.

Until they get dropped on the feed lips or squashed sideways in 100 lb rucks.
