Andax Lancer L5 Magazines

Hello,

I've been looking for mags for the CTW and came across these.





Description from Redwolf:
"Based upon the hugely successful Lancer-Systems L5 Magazine used by soldiers and Operators around the world, Andax Works Airsoft replica magazine holds up to 120rds and like its real steel counterpart, the LL5 Magazines has a translucent impact resistant body in a smoky-black tinge with a rubber bottom.

With a quick glance you can determine how many rounds you have left in your mag, where a potential jam might be, or just show off to your friends! The surface of the LL5 Magazine is designed specifically to increase gripping and improve retrieval from magazine pouches. Due to the body design being similar to standard USGI magazines the Andax Lancer L5 Magazines are compatible with all existing magazine pouches.

Only usable with the Systema M4 PTW series!"

Link to the mag on Redwolf.


I really like the translucency and the rubber plate on the bottom, and I think I'd like to buy a box of them.
Has anyone had any experience with these?

.

I'VE had some experience with these!

Only got a few shots out of my CTW, but it seemed to feed just fine.


Pros:

-Fits in the gun perfectly!
---No wobble at all.
---Drops out when mag release is pressed.

-Looks good.

-Light-weight.

-Transparent
---You can see how many rounds you've got left.


Cons:

-"rubber plate" on the bottom of the mag is actually a weird plastic.

-These get stuck in open-topped mag pouches like these:



I'm switching to Fast-MAGs to try and remedy this.
We'll see how that works.



So far that's all the info I have of these things.
I'll post again when I've got more.

I found these on eBay and asked around about them.

A few guys from my team ordered the 5pc set from EVIKE.com of the 3 that got them one had 2 broken on delivery and the other two sets had one broken mag each. All of the mags that arrived intact performed well.

All the reviews I've read from PTW owners are hit or miss.

I went another route and got 5 used PTW mags and did the MAGPUL PMAG conversion to them.

The PMAGs have no issues with any pouches and work well with the eBaybanned FastMags

HAHAHA... One of team mates was looking at these mags too... Found the same results you did, and ended up doing the same damn thing! Too funny... In all seriousness though, the P Mags (conversions of course) are legit and seem to work well.

Madness do you know of anyone who has tried the $10 Vanaras mag internals ?

No - I havent looked into it...

Does the set come with the metal BB loader adapter?? how does it work?

I have 5 black andax lancer mags and 5 dark earth andax lancer mags and work very well in ctw and ptw.I try with pmags - vanaras internals and dont result in ctw, only in ptw, i dont´know why.I tested the MAG´s magazines and work very well in the 2 guns.That´s my experience
