Magpul PTS Version Ranger Plate?

[thegovernator]

Does anybody know if these will work with mid-cap magazines? Online They state that they are for high-cap because they have slits for the winding wheel. Does anybody have any experience with them.

From what I know they are designed for the mid caps and any pmag in general

Ok so I've done a little more research but haven't found out to much but what I think I found out was that they come with base plates for either mid caps or high caps still allowing an opening for the winding wheel.

Please let me know if u know anything else. Thankyou very much.

Are you talking PMag ranger plates or STANAG ranger plates?

Online they are called pts ranger plate. The ones that replace and screw into a metal magazine.

So I'm not quite sure why that was posted. I know that online they state they will work with most hi cap but what I'm wondering is if they would also work with metal mid caps. I think I saw on either evike or xtreme that they come with a second replacement plate. IF u have any experience with these please let me know

Not so sure on that one. and the other post was for for XM

It depends if the mid cap has a removable base plate.  Some do, some do not.

Xavier is right, if your mid caps have removable base plates they will work, I own some of thoes ranger plates and they worked all of my Classic Army mids caps.

You should by Pmags instead :lol:

The one on the left is a chepo STAR plastic mid cap, the plate does not come off, it is all just 2 peices of molded plastic glued togehter,

The one on the right is a nice G&P metal mid-cap, the plate does come off

Ok somehow my question was misunderstood and people went off on some tangents but so that no one else keeps going on about it , my issue has been resolved and I've figured it out. Thankyou

That's probably because you never posted a link to the ranger plates in question or clarified which ranger plates you were looking at.

[thegovernator]

The name of the post says it.

[XavierMace]

No it doesn't, is it really that hard to just post a link to the product you are looking at rather than make people guess what you are talking about?  Did you even Google it yourself?  If so you would have realized you get two different products when you Google "PTS Ranger Plate".
