For When 7.62x51mm isn't enough

30rd mags on him for use in the C1.

Our mags didn't seem to be as good as the curved Bren mags. Too, ours were overused but I'm still not sure that was the problem. I had a C2 on issue a couple times, once in the rifle company and once in Mortar Pl.

Interesting, he never had a issue with his apparently but it could just be the wear on the mags. I have heard the curved Bren mags were somewhat unreliable though, as it was designed for top feeding not bottom feeding and didn't have enough spring pressure. This is all anecdotal evidence though, unfortunately I will likely never be able to test it out myself.

Very possible.

There's lots here that have used them firsthand, maybe some others will speak up. I never had any problems and they were great up to me selling them.
