keeping mags loaded

[juggernault98]

Did you use any kind of lubricant or cleaner on it?

I think Lancer really needs to get involved in the Scorpion mag market by applying their hybrid design principles.

Nope, come to think of it I only used my 30 rounder and the other 20 rounder. This one was never used only loaded.

I have fifteen 30 round mags and one of the original 20 rounders that I rotate through.  The other 20 round mag is kept loaded with HD rounds (downloaded to 18) and kept in the gun.  I think I'd better start checking that one every couple of weeks.
None have ever been lubricated and they won't be.

I had this mag loaded for bout a month. Took it out of the bag today showing my brother-in-law and noticed the crack. Once I took the rounds out it obviously broke. Gotta send her in.

So you had sprayed Militec1 on this magazine?

The reason I asked about the militec1 is I believe the underlying problem with the mags is in the polymer.  The experiment in this thread shows that coating the mag with a lubricant just compounds the issue and quickens the pace of the polymer's failure.

Maybe we should all start a emailing magazine manufactures asking about their plans for EVO magazines.

CZ recommends the following lubrication's and grease for the Scorpion EVO, These would probably have the least adverse reactions.

Brunox Spray
Ballistol Spray
Canon G3

Well, that fairly well covers the American market as far as availability......

[Okaraider]

Does CLP have any adverse effects?

[armoredman]

I can tell you Weapon Shield seems to have no adverse effects on magazines.

Ive been using Breakfree on my gun for 4 months. Several thousand rounds, no magazine issues and I keep them loaded to capacity.

FYI, 12 days in, all 3 Militecs are destroyed,  I'm going to try to hold our a month on the Ballistol and Control, but really keep wanting to shoot them.  They are holding up great!

Lancer does the Sig Mpx 9mm mags, so would assume they might be a little sketch on engaging. 

I would prefer lancer, but magpul is a good second option -- IF they don't stick w/ the terrible gen 3 colors of black and sand, much prefer the gen 2 colors of FDE, ODG, Black, etc... 

DEET (OFF, bug repellent spray) is the best chemical for quickly killing polymer mags...

Lancer is knees deep w/ Sig -- and if you look at the MPX mag prices at greater than $50 per mag, I wouldn't be interested in one for the Scorpion at any more than $25 per mag.
