Hello!
I am going to be buying more magazines for my PTR-91 GI. So far I have 5 steel ones and the single aluminum one that came with the rifle. I'd like to get another 9 magazines so I'll have 15 all together. That should last a good long while, I will number all of them and rotate them to increase longevity of the springs etc.
I am planning on using my PTR-91 GI as my MBR/SHTF weapon and need it to be reliable. So far, it has been 100% reliable but I've only fired 100 rounds of ZQ 7.62x51mm 147 grain ammo through it using the aluminum mag that came from the factory. I have not shot the gun with the steel magazines I already have, and cannot because the rifle is currently being worked on by Bill Springfield to have a paddle magazine latch installed.
So, looks like I've got two options. If I'm looking for total reliability, should I go with the steel G3 magazines or the aluminum ones? Price doesn't concern me, I know the steel ones are about twice as expensive but "that ain't no thang" when the aluminum ones are like $3.00 LOL! I'm looking to buy the magazines from keepshooting.com, as I've had great luck with them. That's where I bought my 5 steel magazines and they were all in very good shape with no notable rust or anything like that. They offer both the steel and aluminums for a good price.
So if you were me, which would you buy? Which style is noted for being the most reliable overall?
Thanks guys! :43:
