I guess these are crap like the USA brand of mags. Bought a couple. The first one (a 32 rounder) jammed just trying to load it. Got a little oil and the speed loader worked great. Pulled out the first round out and she fountained all over!!!

I am not sure what you mean by "fountained" but I guess that was not a good thing? Now, if a fountain of ammo was actually flying out the end of the barrel, then it would be good...
I bought a couple of those mags a while back because they were dirt cheap, so I figured what the heck, maybe I can fiddle with it, if it doesn't work right away. Yeah right...:) There is another thread on 50 round mags right now that includes a link where some guy says he got one of the USA 50's to work. If you try tweaking it and it works, tell us all how you did it...

Its when the feed lips don't have enough bend and the ammo lets loose out the mag and pops out all over your lap and the floor and under the chair. It is along the same lines as the card game 52 pickup. If you never played that stop by and I will teach you..:D

Gotcha. Not good... Actually, I have never had a mag that was that bad. I guess those WM mags were even worse than I thought.

They're on the same level as USA mags. POS. Karl.
