DPMS Plastic 10rd AR Mags

[Matt Sutton]

Anyone have experience with these things? Reliability? Longevity?
American Rifleman did a review of the DPMS Lo-Pro recently, and used these mags. They said that they performed flawlessly. I think that they would make good range mags, and I've got the chance to buy some for $12 each plus shipping.
Also, do you know if DPMS is actually manufacturing them, or are they made by Eagle or Ram-Line?

They look exactly like my Eagle Mini-14 mag. I have not tested mine yet.

I've shot them through my DPMS rifles (since they came with them). On one mag, the small ledge of the plastic follower that actuates the bolt stop has gotten ratty and knarled up by the stop. It does not get into the proper position directly under the stop all of the time and gets jammed with the stop on its side. As a result the stop, when pressed to try to get the mag out, gouged into the plastic follower and dinged it up some. Th mag feeds well when loaded but doesn't always push up on the stop correctly. The other DPMS mags have worked without any problems. Have not had a misfeed from any of my DPMS mags, just the occassional ejection hangup from the one mag.

Some have replace the follower with the green one but have not done it myself.
