A friend of mine was at Tips today. He said they had a couple of Thermold 15 rounders there. So i told him to grab me one.

 

After getting home, i checked it out.

 

Was able to only fit 14 rounds. I'm talking a dead stop at 14. The fit into my CMMG lower is decent but i had to really push it in to get it to click. I think that was due to the $15.00 (yes...15) price sticker they put over the latch hole. I wont know how well it cycles till Sunday.

 

I have never heard of Thermold till today. They look pretty cheap but i cant complain in the crisis that we are in.

 

Does anyone have any experience with these mags?

I've only read that they were all the rage before the pmag came out and now everyone calls thermold crap because pmags are so much better. They're cheap that's for sure, I was thinking of grabbing a few to hold me over until pmags are available again. Right now i've got just about everything to build my AR except mags and an optic.

No personal experience, but the Canadian military used them for a while. The original Thermolds were made from DuPont Zytel, which was a good thing. The Canadians made them from a cheaper polymer, and that was not such a good thing. Unless you are going to war, you will probably be fine with your Thermold mags.

 

Adios,

^^^Exactly

 

I have a few and they work fine for what I use them for.

thermold mags suck. some work, some don't.

 

Stick with Pmags

Thermold mags have always been crap. Youll notice on some of them it still has the old ban stamp "For military and law enforcement use only". Check the production date on them.

They are thin, flimsy. You can flip the follower nearly vertical. Bought one, returned it thinking it was a defect, nope thats how they make em.

Battlefield use or not, wouldnt waste the money on them.

I have two or three. They aren't as well made as PMags but I haven't had any issues with them. They are fine for range use.

I have the double 15's and had the same problem at first. After you use em for awhile you'll get 15 in it.

 

I've never had a problem with them filling the gun so I'm happy with them.

 

I ordered some double 10's the other day direct from thermold, 15's weren't available. I ordered them Weds and got em today.

 

$34.95 + shipping

I got a chance to try it out and the Thermold magazine worked flawlessly. So don't let the cheap look of them fool you.

I was at tips too. ALMOST bought one. I really have my doubts about them withstanding a drop test.

I will see how long it lasts. I was thinking that it was gonna bust apart when trying to stuff the 15th round in there but it holds......for now.

They still have them, just bought 6 of them. They have about 20 left.
