keeping mags loaded

[Valk]

so...

11 links (let's just say 12 to keep things even) on the 10 round mag
18 links for the 20 and 30 round mags
half way between would be 15 links
i'm cutting 3 off

bleep, should've just listened to John-A from the beginning!

why isn't cz cutting these down? i've heard of people with 30 mags having difficulty getting the last round or 2 in

Feed reliability concerns would be my guess. Do let us know if you run into any issues after trimming the links on your 20s and 30s; carrying a Shield has made me pretty used to difficult mag loading, but loading that 30th round is still a nightmare of a loading unlike anything I've ever done.

Manufacturing time and according cost would be my guess...  Profit margins.  Easily add another full time worker or two to modify all the springs, and/or extra cost and potential issues with getting spring inventories mixed when having custom springs made.

Well maybe they should plan to make a plan

Do they make any rifle mags?  Maybe try C products if you're wanting metal mags...  Their stainless are top notch IMO.  Run them almost exclusively in 9mm ARs and my AR15 metal mag stockpile consists nearly exclusively of these as well...  Lancers are my primary AR15 mags however.
