    Sup peeps,
    I was just looking for some peoples opinions on the best class of C-mag out there, I have a little project under way which requires a G36 type C-mag for a SL8, now I bought a Star Auto feeding StanMag version before for my M15 but it suffers from some miss feeds.

    Now theres lots of companies out there with various models like the push button or the sound activated or like mine the pressure auto feeder
    If any other C-mag owners or friends of someone who praises theirs has 2 cents to spare, I'd love to know. :D

    You should ask Keith (contractors) about his it seems to flawlessly. I've had trouble with my drum mag piece of ****e falls apart in some way shape or form whenever I try to use it I think the one i have is star but not entirely sure

    The other option is to make your own their internals arent overly complicated its just a hicap witha motor and a button on it

    My AIM one is good. Just keep fresh batteries in them to keep up with the ROF:)

    Can of OD krylon no doubt also ;)

    Star ones are sh1te, get a sound activated or push button, push buttons are nice and simple, more reliable, and can be wired any way you want.

    Now if you fitted some sort of midcap mechanism into the c-mag, I'm sure your praise on here would be universal.

    Flexible tubing, long ass spring, follower from a mid cap, make it the first ever good c-mag please.

    All Cmags ive come across where a bit cr*p to be honest. they can be ok with average ROF but if you have a high ROF they almost all have feed problems.,

    +1, CMags are ****e

    Fair enough, seems like the consensus is pretty clear, There okay on standard rate of fire, 8.4v and the like but If I'm upping that switch to high caps or Midcaps.
    Appreciate all the info guys, thanks a mill :D

    You'd get away with 9.6 no bother.

    For the record, asking what kind of C-Mag is the best is akin to asking which autoimmune disease would be the most fun.

    If you must get one, I believe Hero Arms do a reasonable one for the G36. Push button fed however, so be prepared for some cable routing.
