It's 6mm Shop and thanks for the Info.  I ordered some a few days ago. Had to send them a check in the mail. Hopefully I will get the mags before the 27th OPRO training!
After shipping the 5 mag deal comes out to $12.each Still a great price!

You could post a reason why. . .

Well I did some searching through the forums, and although I heard a few references to them being unreliable, I just can't imagine they can be any worse than the G&P 130 rd mags I have. Those things won't shoot to save their own lives.

You won't be happy with them.  They don't feed worth a damn.  Spend the extra money and buy Marui mags.  Trust us, we've been through this already with the CA mags.  That's why their selling them so cheap.

I'll give them a chance, maybe grease them up before I use them and see.

The problem is weak springs. Very weak.

Don't sweat it, maybe screwloose will luck out and get a batch of good ones.  We'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

Yeah, don't worry about it... If you see a good deal somewhere, post it.  Chances are someone has/has used/hates/likes/whatever the item(s) in question and can share their knowledge about said item.

I bought ten at $10 each from them, and every single one of them was garbage.  I took a ribbing on these boards for a while about it, then sold them on Ebay.  Still feel guilty about it.  They were the weakest springs on the planet.  Wouldn't feed a single round.

Also, be aware that things change.  Kyle, I'm not trying to defend the CA mags, as your experience has deterred me from them altogether, but sometimes the one (or ones) you got are flat out lemons.

Several people I know have this $20 Radio Shack throat mike.  One of them absolutely hates it and it doesn't work for them at all.  For one, it kinda works, and has potential.  The third person finds its flawless so far.

So, sometimes things can change, or things can work differently for different people.

A good deal isn't a good deal if what you bought doesn't work.

ALso, the CA mags may work better in CA AEG's.  AFAIK, the AEG Kyle was using them in was a TM AEG.

Well I have both a CA & TM M4. I was really buying these mags more for the CA anyways because the G&P mags wont feed unless I shove the magazine up into the gun. And even then they jam up on a regular basis.

I would hope that CA has enough quality control (in airsoft, Hah!) to keep their own mags feeding into their own guns.
