Lancer Systems L5AWM 20-Round AR-15 Magazine - 5.56 NATO - Smoke

I trust these way more than any other brand. Magpul is a close 2nd but I had Pmags fail from various issues that I put the Lancers thru and the Lancers never let me down. I have tossed/donated a couple Pmags already.

Works both in my 223/556 and 300 BLK flawlessly with or without silencer. Nice looking, transparent so you know how many you have left in mag. Metal lip, i am sure it will last longer than the plastic ones. My military aluminum 20 round mag won't work in the 300 BLK.

I use these magazines in a 458 Socom. They function great. The metal lips keep the bullets stable in the mag when stored, unlike plastic mags.

Lancer L5AWM 20rnd translucent mags are exactly what our family prefers for many reasons. Lancer makes high quality magazines with reliable metal top and plastic lower. For us, 20-rnd magazines are better than the 30-rnd since 1) 30-rnd magazines are too tall when shooting prone, and 2) I don't need 30 rounds while hunting. I prefer translucent mags to easily see how many rounds are in the mag. Color options distinguish my wife's mags (smoke) from mine (dark earth). Performance and reliability have been flawless!
An advantage of Lancer mags is that my wife began marking the BOTTOM of her translucent black magazines with silver Sharpie to distinguish which have cheaper bullets from mags that have her more expensive home defense bullets. Once mags are in her chest rig (bottom facing upwards) she can instantly tell which mag has which of her bullets. Now I'm marking bottom of my tan mags with black Sharpie to do the same. Just another option when using these magazines.

Have used these mags in multiple AR's for rapid-fire with not the slightest issue. They feed easily into the mag well and lock with little effort on an open bolt. Release is very quick, regardless if there are rds in the mag or not. There is no rattle once the mag is in the rifle. I would use these magazines for an NTIT event without the slightest worry.

Lancer magazines are totally reliable in the way they are built with steel feed lips and the texture of the magazine for positive gripping.

Great mags.love the transluscence.20-rd mags have perfect proportions in my eyes.
theyre very lightweight, strong and smooth feeding.
The steel feed lips will never deform so you can store loaded mags for extended periods without issue.
The only problem with these Lancer mags is their inability to control the top round if you slowly draw the charging handle to the rear.the top round will pop out of the feed lips free to roll around.they will still chamber just fine usually but its always possible to have a jam due to this in the right conditions. As long as you charge the weapon properly and quickly as you should youll never have problems.its something to note though. Overall these are excellent mags though and highly recommended.

I messed up and only bought 4! These mags are rock solid, can't wait 'til PA has them in stock again, just can't beat the price.

Magazines looks nice but I have to slam it into the receiver when the magazine is fully loaded. If the bolt is pulled back, I have no issues. Service is always great here as usual.

Quick and professional service! Thank You!
