"First set of these mags i got in 2019 were really rough. The followers jammed inside of the mag and would only release when I would bash the mag against a tree or something. Really unacceptable quality.
BUT, the second set of mags i got in 2022 were of absolutely perfect quality. With no follower issues whatsoever.
A few of these mags accompanied me through Milsim west, and they will do it again.

"Very nice magazine! Zero wobble in the magwell of an LCT G3 and feeds every round flawlessly. The weight and construction are both nice too.

"Solid magazine. I don’t see it being compatible with any other gun but I’m not 100% sure.

"The first mag I got was awful, the rounds would jam up in the mag and it would constantly fail to feed properly which required me to completely disassemble, oil, and fix it.
The second mag I bought worked perfectly but these mags having feeding failures seems very common for other people as well. Overall the mags are very hit or miss but the sturdiness and outside quality are unmatched.

"These were surprisingly nice magazines.
The build quality is phenomenal. I'm confident I could use this in place of a sledge hammer if I needed to. Throwing this at somebody would be like throwing a cinder block at them. There is also minimal wobble in the magwell.
Where I take points off though, is how well they feed.
I've had 3 of these for roughly 3 months now, and one has already failed me. I had to literally open the magazine, and put a spacer in to get it to feed properly again.
Overall a great magazine, just be prepared to do some slight modifications.
PSA: These mags are proprietary. They will only fit in an LCT G3, and the LCT G3 will only take these mags.

"I use five of the 140 round "stripe" midcaps for my LCT G3 and they've been a bit of a mixed bag for me. I quite like how solid they are, and they feed reliably, but the main issues I have with them are cost as well as loading. Paying $25+ for an AEG magazine is a bit much and when you only use midcaps you're looking at $100 extra dollars to run your G3 properly. Loading them is a pain in the ass but I've managed to work outa system for them that makes it a little easier (mostly I just put a cooking bowl in my lap to catch the extra bbs).
However, I will say they are still worth a buy if you're looking for realistic feeling construction and solidity. These fit my G3 magwell incredibly well (you do have to use a little force to get it in but once you do it's not going anywhere).

"AS ALWAYS: Because this is a G3 magazine, no 2 manufacturers are truly identical, and you cannot expect it will work for your G3.
I bought a Midcap (non-stripe/waffle) for 26$ (highway robbery) for a JG T3, out of trying to find out if you can get midcaps for a JG T3.
The short answer is you can't. Not properly.
The long answer is that, although at a steep price and low security, you can buy one of these, saw down the elevated tab for the magazine catch so it's level with the top of the magazine's geometry, and carefully roll it into your T3. It should fit snugly due to differences in width... Too snugly. This is better than too loose.
Mine has fed reliably so far, but I cannot caution enough: There is no guarantee for consistency, as this is a user modification you will have to make out of massive desperation. Be prepared to lose your investment if you're at this breaking point.
I can say, however, that the magazine is solid enough in build, and the fact it's too big is far better than being too small, since you can hack it down to fit in emergencies. While shaky, I have 1 working T3 midcap now, and while I'm not thrilled (especially for the pricetag on these), it works when I had no solutions to turn to.
For that, I have to admit that these are solid G3 magazines, both for intended reasons and not. Whether this will work for non-LTC and non-T3 weapons is its own gamble. You'll have to scout for yourself if you are truly the bravest lad there is. If you happen to do so for some reason, leave a review to let people know if it works or not. It might save someone some bucks and sorrow to know the result in advance.

"These mid caps don't always feed completely and this is relevant on all 4 of my mid caps. In all honesty I had a better and more fun time with the high caps.

"Construction quality is good, the metal shell is solid and rigid.
The mag won't feed properly, last 30 bb won't come out even when the mag is brand new.
Requires disassembly and stretching the spring.
Also need a bit of silicon oil for better functioning.
Spring tends to bind up in the mag. Solution? Slam it on the ground.
Locks perfectly on lct G3a3, with no movement in any direction.

""Buy LCT's guns, not their magizines."
I knew this, told myself this, and still bought 4 magiznes anyway costing my over $100. Do I regret it?
ABSOLUTELY.
The external construction honestly can't be beat for a metal magizine, metal locking lug might be nice but I'm nit picking. The internal design, however, is the problem. You'll step by step tutorials on how to fix them, BUT NONE OF THAT MATTERS WHEN THE SPRING CONSTANTLY GETS BOUND UP INSIDE THE MAGIZINE. Frankly the issue, I surrmazie based on countless hours of faffing 'bout, is they tried to squeeze too many ronds in too small of a mag. The bends are too sharp and too many and the spring will constantly bind up even if you change the spring itself (I've tried two different springs, one being Maple Airsoft Supply - SuperFeed springs). Honestly save yourself the money and just sand a millimeter or few off the bottom of the hop unit and you'll be able to use other brand metal mags after putting a super glued patch of duct tape at the front of the mag well. Or hey, even superglue a big honking duct tape patch at the front of the magwell and you won't have to sand it at all.
TLDR: duct tape and superglue is cheaper, and works better, than these midcaps.

"Bought four of the mid cap mags and all four of them didn’t feed at all. I could get maybe 6 bbs out before they stopped feeding. For $25 a mag that’s over $100 after shipping for mags that don’t work out of box. I’ve heard that the high cap mags feed properly but I’m not entirely sure. Definitely don’t recommend the mid caps.
