Re: ps90 mags ?
The magazines are ar57 manufactured and are windowed. I dont have much info on them because I am having chambering issues with my rifle at the moment. See here: http://fivesevenforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=9379" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Mt Vernon 5_56 wrote:Any "quality" and/or "range" reports to share yet?twydyn wrote: ... I will receive them in like 8 days from now [20 Nov] ...
I just bought 4 "genuine FSN" 50-rounders off of Gunbroker, but those do look interesting.
Are those slots actually "open to air" (and rain/mud) as they appear to be in the photo below?
AR57 is sending me some new parts. My upper was serial number below 25. I was shooting the rifle at 15 degrees in the snow, it fed each time but had chambering issues. Only 20 rounds tested before i gave up due to the chambering issue (not related to the magazine).
Sorry but i do not have more info on the magazine quality at this time.

Re: ps90 mags ?
We had them and at first we thought the would be great. Non of them made it past 2k before the feed lip section self destructed. No issues with our FN mags and they have well over 10k through them.

FN mags are the best choice. I have only one made in Korea one, and it went in the trash long ago.

Re: ps90 mags ?
I concur with Jay and Justin; I would definitely not count on a KOREAN magazine; I greatly dislike these made in Korea. A few matches ago I watched a glock Korean magazine shatter its contents everywhere. I honestly they have enough experience or testing to even compare with quality USA or Austrian magazines.jmz5 wrote:FN mags are the best choice.

Stay away from the Korean generic knockoffs.
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
The shooter will always matter more than the gear ever will.
Stop relying on others to do the work for you.
Shoot more, worry less.

I don't know who jay or Justin are but I can assume you mean two people on this forum. That said are you guys eluding to the ar57 mags as being Korean made?blueorison wrote:I concur with Jay and Justin; I would definitely not count on a KOREAN magazine; I greatly dislike these made in Korea.

Re: ps90 mags ?
with the price of current FN 50 round magazines it makes really no sense to me to purchase aftermarket for a few dollars less unless they were proven to be just as good. I'd use them for the range, but that'd be about it.

ATI does not make them, it is one of the importers.

Re: ps90 mags ?
If they cost you anything it's a "bad deal". I only had several because they were free. They just plain suck.

Contrary to popular belief, you CAN fix stupid - it's just illegal.
Re: ps90 mags ?
Botach has Korean Clones for $9.95 + free shipping. Required a little TLC with a fine file to get them to snap in and out like the factory FN - BUT for $9.95 - load fine - feed fine. My only problen with my AR57 is it goes thru ammo like a woman with money at a shoe sale :laugh:

Re: ps90 mags ?
I've got 10 genuine FN mags I'm willing to sell. But being a new/junior member who's paid membership hasn't come through as of today it appears I'm not being allowed to discuss selling things yet. But anyone interested can try sending me a pm.
