Just spotted at UNCompany. KA-MAG-02
Well they're not that new but I would be interested if anyone here uses them and could give me a short review.
10 bucks for a 68rd lowcap sounds interesting, but I don't wanna order 10 of em just to figure out that the only thing they're doing is jaming

Or how about the CA Lowcaps? Are they reliable?
Just need to make my decision for a truckload of lowcaps 'till tomorrow evening, thats why I'm asking around

I just grabbed two of these to try out and they arrived a few days ago.

First of all, the construction is top notch. Very nice bit of kit. Not much you can say about a mag when it comes to build quality, but all the folds are in the right place and all the crimping etc is of a high standard. Also comes in a almost black finish that looks very highspeed - but hey, I painted them to match my m4 so what do I know?

One thing I really really like is that these mags don't fit excessively tight. I'm running a ICS M4 RIS and my g&p midcaps and ICS highcap all fit very snug in the magwell. The KingArms lowcaps fit just nice in the magwell and clip into the retainer. When you hit the mag release the magazine drops right out of the magwell - just like the realdeal (well, with the Canadian C7's I use).

But no worry - no fear of losing a mag, i made sure to try and shake a mag loose, it held on like grim death....

Last but not least - feeding. I loaded each mag up to capacity and unloaded on a mix of auto and semi, doing this 5 times for each mag. So each mag cycled approx 350ish rounds. No misfeeds at all. I know, hardly a "battlefield" test, but it's kind of our off season here so the basement commando test will have to do for now.


Hope that helps!

Are they plastic or metal?

[Kokanee]

Right, how could I forget? They are metal like a TM lowcap

[Fullauto]

Ah, cheers for that

Cheap metal locaps sound very tempting. I'll probably buy some at one point or another...

May I humbly suggest putting a review in our review database for other people's latter reference?

The Classic Army ones are top notch as well. They are a nice medium gray finish, which appeals to a lot of people (nice contrast with the black receiver, and also is more of a match to the real deal). Only problem is, the little nub that you can pull back on to release all the bbs out of the mag is missing, so you'll have to stick a little screw driver into the hole at the top of the mag to press in the little stopper.

so I'll need to buy one of those KA mags then... anybody know the best place to order them from if you're in the US?

Classic army standard caps wobble like...well sumfin wobbly in the magazine housing of my CAM15...quite noisey.

I can't speak in regards to what you've seen, but up here North of the border our issue mags have "Property of the United States Government" stamped into them. So I'm assuming that we purchase from you guys, and they are jet black.

Fullauto, yes of course I'll post up a short review, I'm meaning to do one up for AirsoftCanada and I'll mirror it here as well.
