"Feeds well in my E&C 803 rifle, however is quite wobbly in the magwell

"A great deal for some solid mid-cap M4 mags.
They seem pretty durable, as I dropped a couple on some hard surfaces and they still function just fine. Not too Chin-sy of a plastic they use, but probably not polymer level. They feed all the way down to the last 3-4 BBs without a problem, they just drop out of the hopup like any AEG mag would. Also you gota' love that flip out mag-pull, made out of rubber by the way, very secure. No wasting your money on those stupid, overpriced MagPul covers for mags for just a little finger tab.
I've only had one problem, and that's just one of the 10 mags seemed to have some trouble feeding. Perhaps it was my gun, but others didn't have that issue. Maybe I'll give it another shot. Another con I guess you could say are some of the silly engravings they put in, like random bullets and stuff but it's eh. That's just an insignificant visual gripe, though. I'd rather just have the textured grip in the middle and the folding pull tab and the rest plain, would look a lot less weird.
The gun they've been used in is a Valken Battle-Machine TTC, and the colour is damn close to the two-tone of the M4 of that option.
Overall I rate pretty good outta good. They're solid if you need to save money, buy a bulk of mags, you want to use quick-pull M4 pouches (without wasting your money on MagPul products), and for the most part be reliable.

"ok so i had to talk myself into buying these cause their is a cheaper made set of 10 for like a little less...also for one i have bought the cheaper version of these and found these to be better imo
pros.
-feels very well made. especially compared to the cheaper versions. while the cheaper version feels decent these feel a little heavier and way stronger.
- imitation bullet window is a nice feature also
cons
-19$ a mag. but from what ive seen most m4/m16 mags are about 10-15 and with these having a magpul feature built in i find it worth it but they r expensive compared to most regular mags.
- friend has a poly xcr-c and doesnt fit so doesnt fit every gun

"As you would expect from ARES. decent externals with garbage build. overall doesnt look bad, but you are not getting metal. they stretch down the middle crevice when you get to about 100 bbs and they WILL break often. overall worth maybe $50 for this, but i do NOT recommend this if you are looking for a long term investment. get yourself some simple plain metal no decal mags from an offbrand and they will work better.
pros:
-look nice
-no need to mark your mags cus they look different
-mag release tab (pully thing on the bottom, forgot the name)
cons:
-break VERY easily
-cant load more than 100 bbs without risking breaking the mag
-dont feed properly often (i commonly think im out and when i go back to reload find out half the mag is full or the spring inside has -broken or been moved)
-cheap plastic material
-ARES
-expensive
TLDR
buy something else
