What’s the over under on Lancer mags ? Opinions seem divided

They're good to go.
mpsteidle@reddit
Nobody knows, apparently lmao.
Automatic_Market7422@reddit
Don't buy lancers guys... Maybe 1 or 2 for the aesthetics. Sure. A ten pack? No. They're objectively the least reliable ar15 magazine.
Out of my ten, 3 of them release live rounds mid cycle, or when dropped. I've had double feeds where one of the rounds was backwards. In a perfectly reliable rifle.
IreofMars@reddit
You might not like them as well as PMAs or GI mags but "objectively the least reliable" is an insane thing to say, there are numerous actually bad magazines like ETS, amend2, promag etc exist. Lancers are good, they have durable steel feed lips and are lighter than pmags/GI mags.
wormraper@reddit
lol
nobodysbeach@reddit
They are definitely not the worst.
wormraper@reddit
Botach has 6 packs for $49.98....still the best deal out there on Lancers
TheOtterBison@reddit
Is this over already? Trying to find it on my phone on a business trip and their website does not like my phone
wormraper@reddit
wow, it must be. they've had this sale for the last 6+ months, and I just checked on it yesterday before I posted. it looks like they got rid of the 6 packs, and raised the price on the mags from $9.98 to $12.98.... bummer
TheOtterBison@reddit
Ah just my luck, thanks for looking though!
a_very_stupid_guy@reddit
Anyone got a spare 10% code for botach? Lol
Error_506@reddit
Worth it until Botach lies about inventory, delays shipment, and then charges you to fix their mistakes.
ArizonaLogan@reddit
They're only a few hours away, I get next day shipping and usually delivery within 2 days. I've had a half dozen orders from them this year with no issues.
Big-Rip5478@reddit
I’ve had botach tell me an item was in back order and if I wanted to wait another week or refund. It’s not really the end of the world lol
Error_506@reddit
My situation was they said it was in stock (I was buying two things that needed each other to work so only having one was useless), they generated a shipping label, then the label sat for over 2 weeks, then they reach out and say they don’t have one of the items so they’ll refund it. No issue there. Well because I need both halves, I ask them to cancel the entire order. They say they can’t cause it’s already shipped. This conversation occurred all in a span of 30 minutes.
Big-Rip5478@reddit
Damn, that’s different. I would’ve hit them with a charge back
wormraper@reddit
I've heard horror stories about them in the past, but over 42 orders later over the last decade and I've never run into an issue.....Just my personal experienece though.
Error_506@reddit
I never give in to horror stories until I tried it myself at least once. On the first go they checked the box on everything people warned about even down to getting my card info stolen, their CS might as well have been a bot. I’m glad you’ve had a good experience but the one bad one is enough for me to always shop somewhere else.
wormraper@reddit
lol, dang on the CC stolen. never had it stolen at Botach, but had it stolen from ATlantic and PSA a few times. One of the reasons I have multiple credit cards in rotation. get one hacked and cycle over to the next lol
justjaybee16@reddit
If you haven't had your CC scammed after a PSA purchase, you're a real r/gundeals scrub.
Error_506@reddit
Yea I typically follow the same principle. I didn’t trust Botach so I used a card for the one transaction and nothing else in the entire cycle. Card got yoinked without me making any other transaction aside from Botach so it was easy for me to know
wormraper@reddit
Yeah when you have only one transaction and it comes back stolen afterwards it's pretty easy to narrow in on where it got yank from. To be fair it probably wasn't actually Botox fault, but rather the credit card processor they used. And most companies swap credit card processors like hot people do girlfriends. So the processor they may use one time may not be the same one they're using two years down the road. Annoying as shit, but it is what it is
ExactScreen9237@reddit
is it free shipping?
wormraper@reddit
no. but it's usually not more than $6 or so unless you're buying an ass ton
l9k2@reddit
thanks for mentioning this, I have a 10% off discount there, and got a total of $110.50 shipped for 12 translucent smoke lancers (
2 x Lancer L5AWM 5.56mm 30-Round Magazines 6-Pack).wormraper@reddit
yup, with those 10% off codes its even cheaper. I have a metric ass ton from when they had that deal originally posted last year. almost 100 of them in various colors, including the Thanos mags
wormraper@reddit
I love being in this game as long as I have. watching the tides turn to "Lancer's blow man!!!, they've ALWAYS sucked!" after T-mags came out is hilarious. I remember 2 years ago when they were coveted as "the Pmag killer, they're just so pricey!!". I'm just gonna keep on stacking deep the cheaper they go.
47_Puppies@reddit
I have at least 10 that have seen a minimum of 1000 rounds go through them, and they've given me zero trouble. I've dropped a few on tile and concrete and 1 or 2 rounds do pop out, but that's literally it (and the mage are fine)
I use translucent lancers for my 5.56 guns and opaque black pmags for 300 blackout as extra insurance to keep them separated, but even without that need for clear magazines I'd still cheerfully buy them at this price, thanks OP
wormraper@reddit
for sure, I think that Pmags are little better than lancers, but ONLY a little. Lancers are still great mags. I have a metric crap ton of each (and of course USGI mags as well)...close to 100 of each (pmag, USGI, Lancer)...all of them work
alargealligator@reddit
Just stick with pmags tbh
Lowtid3@reddit
These have metal feed lips and look cool. They’re worth the buy if you’d rather have metal over the pmag polymer feed lips.
Automatic_Market7422@reddit
Lancers are only good if you're a fan of your mags randomly letting loose a single round when jostled or dropped
They're the sig p320 of magazines
Choice-Purple-787@reddit
I can replicate that scenario with almost every brand, including pmags. My only gripe with the Lancers like these is they are not a glass reinforced polymer so they're not quite as strong as other plastic mags available
Automatic_Market7422@reddit
Weird, I can't.
Lancers are the only mag that will release a round by too aggressively slamming a magazine home
someperson1423@reddit
Metal feed lips are a downside not an upside. Metal dents or deforms and is hard to tell from quick inspection especially when even a very minor change in geometry of a feed lip can ruin cartridge presentation. Polymer deforms then goes right back unless it cracks and a crack is incredibly obvious.
Steel feed lips will be much more durable than aluminum but you can't beat polymer. I ran a couple Lancers for a brief while when they were all the rage in the 2010s and they worked OK but I just stick with PMAGs for practical stuff and STANAG for retro guns now and don't miss them.
GuysLeeFanboy@reddit
Pmags are more reliable and it’s proven. I’m not opposed to having a couple tho but it wouldn’t be the main mag I run.
mcnastytk@reddit
Idk why but my rifle hates lancer mags.
All other mags run perfect 🤷♂️
dad-jokes-about-you@reddit
Because they are actually terrible magazines lol
2017_SR5@reddit
Just be aware, these are NOT the newest Gen 2 Lancers. I have a ton of these tho, and Never had any issues. I don't usually drop fully/half/almost empty mags onto the floor/concrete or grass and or wood tho...
Cool-Tip8804@reddit
I wish I had a sugar daddy to pay my butt and hand me 100$ and tell me to buy something nice.
I used my butt tapping allowance up on my wife’s boyfriend.
Minimum_Government@reddit
Lancers are crap
dad-jokes-about-you@reddit
Lancers are the worst AR-15 mags I have ever used. After I bought a few and used them, I quickly gave them away. Difficult to load, ammo would shoot out the top if mishandled. Feed lips are too bendy, overall feels very cheap.
If you *need a translucent magazine just get Tmags
urgentomato@reddit
I thought the clear plastics were the issue. Fwiw, my lancers have worked flawless and more reliably than my gen 2 pmags
dad-jokes-about-you@reddit
I dunno exactly what it was. To me plastic/polymer feels cheap. Pmags feel cheap but they work and are proven. Lancers feel like flimsy kids toy kind of cheap. I loaded 28 rounds and taps the mag on a shooting stand and half the magazine of rounds shot out of the feed lips.
For me, I want nothing to do with them. Didn’t even keep them for backups or ‘just to have’
