Well the Fedex guy left these on my door step today(not the uzi or the parked mag of course:uzi )

After 50 insertions the painted mag started to look really worn, compared to the parked mag that has had at least double that.

First the mags..

They are really nice. The paint is nice and even, but it is obvious it won't hold up. That is fine, I was expecting it. Dimensionally they are exactly the same as the parkerized magazine that came with my gun, and they do not have any markings at all on them. Also, it seems the South Africans must pack them full of a pound of cosmo each, these things were packed SOLID!

They all loaded to 25 rounds VERY easily and smoothly. Much smoother than the parked mag, but that is because there isn't any finish on the inside. All 4 feed dummy rounds smoothy, so we shall see how they function on the next nice day(it's raining here).

The bag is one hell of a bargain in my opinion. Very nicely made AND it comes with two oil bottles(one of which was full), some patches, and a cleaning rod(for SMG's only though). It looks like it will hold 25's and 32's easily. Pretty heavy with 4 25's in it though!

Overall, seemed like a good way to spend $66 :)

Just got my mail and I got a box from Vector.. sent USPS.

They sent me a free 25 round magazine :)

Same as what I ordered, just free. Invoice billed me for nothing.

Pretty cool :jester

Nice lookin rig you got going there! I've been eyeballing those Croatian mag bags...Looks nice. How's the flap? Does it stay closed?

The flap is very secure, but it still only takes a good tug to get it open. I think it's very well made, not sure about the material(it feels soft to me), but yeah. For $10 it would be hard to go wrong :)

IMHO it's probably better with 32 rounders(more mag to grab) but I think with magpuls I won't have to worry :)

Jonathon, you might want to get some 32rd magazines and some more pouches. Four 25rd mags is only 100rds or two boxes of ammo. I don't know about you but that goes way too fast for me..even if I am in slow, deliberate fire mode. Nice pictures, nice layout, thanks for sharing your pictures. What kind of sling are we looking at?
