good mag if you take the time

Contrary to what some reviewers have said, this is a very good magazine, if you give it the time. People say that it sucks, and yes, if you use it straight out the box, it does suck. Alot. But it can be fixed with a little time and a little patience. The day that I got my six in the mail, I put my radio to the local classic rock station, cracked open a cool beer, and got to work on them. First, I held the eagle mag next to a ruger stock mag and compared every little thing about them. I then took my field knife (spending the whole time wishing I had a file) and filed the front of the mag where the bullet feeds into the chamber. After that, I loaded the mag with dummy ammo I picked up as sportsman's warehouse and ran the cycle of operations again and again, fine tuning and filing where need be, and repeated the process 5 more times for the other mags. Now I have six thirty round magazines that work better than the ruger mag that came with the rifle. And I am not even a gunsmith. Also, the mags do snap together as advertized, but not very well, so break out the duct tape.
