I have no idea what ASC is so I voted for the Magpul Pmag. Who makes ASC?

I have had to use a couple of Tapco polymer mags for an AK recently and they seem to work well. There are several polymer mag makers that appear to be doing well with them. Magpul is at the top though.

For aluminum mags, I have always been advised to stick with USGI mags made by military suppliers. Brownells probably makes the best I have seen and they are generally close to the price of others. There are others that work well also.

I never heard of ASC mags, but I'm 100% sold on pmags.

This is probably the best deal you'll find right now on pmags, on sale until 10/15:

Most of my aluminum mags were bought several years ago. I bought a bunch of Brownells mags after Obama was elected. I haven't bought any since. Asc may be new or a new name at least.

My apologies for missing an important detail... Use coupon code PMAG to get them for $9.99 each.

I voted for Pmag for two reasons, 1. They have be flawless ever since I started using them. 2. The Army Ranger Regiment uses them exclusively along with most of the U.S. Special Ops troops. They have been thoroughly combat tested.

I have about 40 ASC mags in 5.56 and 7.62 and they are all shooters. Also have many Pmags in 5.56 and 7.62 and they are shooters. For what it's worth and from someone that owns and shoots both; I like the Pmag in 5.56 and the ASC in 7.62.
