COLT 6830 7.62x39: Best Mags??
« on: April 29, 2013, 08:22:08 PM »
I got a 1996 colt match target 6830 in 7.62x39 and i want to pick up some mags, and I hear all sorts of opinions about what mags work best as far as feed issues......and here's what I gather:

1) stock colt 5 or 10 round mags have no issues

2) hicap frankenmags are the next least issue prone

3) c-products hicap mags are the next least issue prone.

So can anyone answer some q's?

1) do you agree with the above?

2) I know preban frankenmags have a good rep with preban 6830's; but what about preban frankenmags with a postban 6830 like mine?  Do they work just as well with these later 6830's?

3) are ACS hicap mags (was formerly c-products) just as reliable as when the company was c-products, or did they change something that affected how well they work?

Thanks!

Thanks and sorry for the delay. Don't know why but I didn't get a notice that I got responses to my post...wtf?  Anyway, I'm on the big island but thanks for the offer.
FYI I ordered 6 new ASC 30rd mags from Dave at DKMAGS.COM for 40$ each and 12$ shipping. www.DKMAGS.com nice guy and service.

I also have a few 30rd on backorder from PROMAGINDUSTRIES.COM
I looked up many blogs and both these mags are supposed to work perfectly with the 6830 do we'll see.
Thanks!
