ProWin/PGC WA M4 Mag: Vaporware no more...

[SHÖCK]

It all depends on what shipping works out to be afterwards of course. How is shipping on TMC?

As I said earlier with ehobby (I like how shipping shows up automatically in your cart) it's $68 per mag + $14 shipping each.

Just found some more info about this:

- Extruded and CNC Machined One-Piece Aluminum Body / Gas Tank
- Automatically resets fire pin position
- Removable Base Plate to fit MAGPUL Ranger Plate / L-Plate ( Real Steel Version )
- Higher Charging Valve position, less visible when magazine is inserted into magwell
- Suitable for WA / G&P / AGM M4 / M16 GBB Rifle Series

NOTE:
- Some models may need a harder Hammer Spring to achieve stable performance.
- Inokatsu M4 / M16 GBB Rifle Series will require optional Gas Route Bucking Set from Pro-Win and minor modification to Lower Receiver to operate properly.

- When used with Early Productions of G&P WOC Series ( which may have wobble Receiver ) may cause damage to the Magazine AND / OR Bolt Carrier Assembly due to tolerance issue.

still waiting for mine to show up...

I've been thinking of picking up 1 of these for my WA M4CQB. I find it hard to justify paying like $120US for the WA mags.

I'm waiting on Kullwarrior's report on these.

Otherwise, I am hoping that 5KU magazines are still being manufactured because they are so economical but I haven't seen them for sale in stock anywhere for 2 months. Huang also has KS magazines coming apparently.

as of 1813 today, my package has arrive at custom, hopefully it would arrive next monday. if it comes at Tuesday, I won't review it until Thursday due to midterms.

Ordered 3 of them earlier this week, should be here in the middle of next week!

UNCompany sells for $57 + 8% discount = ~$57CDN Cheapest so far


in other news...RA-Tech has release some info about these mags compared to other mags:
Base around WA Super Duty Magazine, value derived from
(Velocity of Mag in question)/(Velocity of Super Mag) X100

WA Super: 100%
WA Standard: 95%
AGM: 90%
Pro-Win: 94%
GHK: 80%

What does these number suggests? These suggest that the Pro-Win release same amount of gas value as the Standard WA. (you can still use WA standard mags if you have them with Pro-WIn without fps deviation. GHK cannot do this as it will produce 20-40fps less than WA.)It has to be noted that the result are probably first shot as I recall the horror of AGM fps deviation can result 1 shot 450 next at 300 third at 400 etc. The number also don't tell us the gas efficiency etc.

Just got my 3 mags in!

First thing I can say from touching it and handling it its WOW, This thing feels really solid. Might be testing them today.

[RacingManiac]

I'll be picking mine up today, they got stuck in US custom for a week for some dumb reason....I already ran most of my tests....minus the ProWin of course...

as an aside, AirsoftGlobal have not sent my G&P mag yet.....

[Yannos]

Just tried them in My Stock WOC. goes in and out without any problems!
One thing, looks like the rubber thing that seal the nozzle with the mag is a bit too high, so if your bolt is not lock backwards, you need to slap them in.
The pull of the bolt is also hard the first few time you try.

and so far, the mag catch works flawlessly! A first for me lol.

is there an easier way to put the BBs in the mag? so far i had to insert the BBs manually and individually. the video shows the use of a BB loader. i've tried that but it doesn't work for me. i'm obviously doing something wrong here. any advice?

are you using your BB loader with the Pistol adaptor?

Its supposed to work perfectly, I haven't try to load them yet tho

Also, I have a mag that leaks from the loading valve.
Anyone know a quick fix for that?
