Buy a Magpul Pmag. Fill it up and run 30 rounds through it. You should be more concerned with function testing the rifle than the mags, especially if you use a high quality mag like Pmag. If the rifle is already fully vetted, you shouldn't need to run more than 5 rounds to test a magazine.
Dump all those, except maybe the G.I. and buy new Magpul... mags are cheaper than ammo!The pistol has been test fired with different types & weights of ammo
The 2 pmags and GI mags should work without any problem
I have never had a problem with MFT, but this one is the 2nd Gen 20/30 and I was able to make it a 30rd
The new mags I have are FAB 30rd, ETS 30rd and Lancer 30rd, I want to make sure they work, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to test all of them
Lancer and ETS are absolutely good to go.Dump all those, except maybe the G.I. and buy new Magpul... mags are cheaper than ammo!
I have 35 old G.I. mags that I recently cleaned and replaced followers with Magpul... I still don't like the feel of some of them, even though they seem to function. Buying new D&H would have made more sense! The only concern I have with Magpul mags is leaving them loaded, and I just don't know if that is really a problem. Did Magpul put dust covers on Gen 3 mags for dust?
Do you regret asking this question yet?I have a AR-15 side charging 10 inch 5.56 pistol on the way and I want to feed test the mags I have, but due to the cost of ammo I want to use as little as possible
What would the minimal number rounds per 30rd mag be for a good test
I sent two Pmags back due to wide feedlips, they were totally professionals and replaced them free, cost me shipping one way! Bought two ProMag SIG 320 magazines neither will lock into gun and ProMag said tough shit, that I should not have bought them NEW on Ebay!

Is the side charging AR design prone to FTL/FTF/FTE issues, or is it just a “how many mags question?
I don’t sweat testing quality mags (PMAG, Hexmag, etc.)
Friends don't let friends buy Promags.

Damn, guess I better learn French....

They are good for malfunction drills. I just wouldn't pay for them.Friends don't let friends buy Promags. I've never had a Promag, but I never hear anything good about them.
Welcome to the Forum!I didn't read every response, so I don't know if it has been suggested yet, but take a course or train with your weapon. Rotate the mags while training and if they are going to fail, they will fail while you train with them. If you are using quality mags they most likely won't malfunction.
