unforgiven Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 Got new style poly mags, they are light might even be lighter that P-mags.Slipped in mag well clicked and held..tight tried again would not engage neither one would engage.RRA sent a card Note: Due to progressive enhancements to the RRA LAR-8rifle,some LAR-8s may require the LAR-8 poly mag be modified slightly by the end user for proper fit/function in his/her rifle as shown in the diasgram to the right. Due to the difference in the cartridge dimensions between the .308/7.62X51 NATO round and the .243 and 7mm-08,these alternate caliber uppers must be used with RRA's polymer LAR-8 mag. and not with FAL/L1A1 mag.It took a slight filing with a fine tooth file @ A&B and mag engaged without problem and seated snug no wiggle.The metal mag next to it is a RRA mag seated snug with a light wiggel.The use Fn-Fal mags I had were the wiggeliest <lmao> with the new wolff springs function as expected.Included are different views of mags poly & metal both RRA.FYI for you RRA fans <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffreyC Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Lighter than a PMag ?But can you run over them with a truck, then put it in your rifle and shoot it with no problems ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaniky73 Posted June 25, 2012 Report Share Posted June 25, 2012 the old magpul mags you had to shave down a section to fit in the LAR8. These look like you don't have to. They run about the same price as the ones made by RRA. I pick them up for $19.99 a piece walking into Impact Guns with no waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
