Lancer mags

Post by ambulldogs23 »

new here and thanks for the ad. My main question is regarding lancers magazines. They state specifically designed for subsonic rounds. Is that the case or do supers also work in them?

No real issues shooting supers in magazines designed for subs, in fact it will help with any round that has a fatter profile bullet.

The big problem is nose diameter an it is not limited to just subs. The other issue can be the weight of a full magazine of 200 grain plus bullets against a normal spring may not feed fast enough. Lancer has probably addressed that also in a designated magazine with a stronger spring.
300 Blackout, not just for sub-sonics.

Some of the shorter rounds can pile up on the magazine front during recoil in 300 Blk specific mags.

Where the higher rib in the 556 mag, “restacks” them to the rear with each shot.

I’ve found the 556 version to be a little more reliable with these shorter rounds that don’t rub, but this is nit-picking.

If I don’t know what I’ll be shooting I just pack 300 Blk Lancers.
