Was it fun? The only thing
that would have made it better would have been full-auto, rock
and roll.
Did the magazine
function well? Not a misfeed in 100 rounds.
Is the mag heavy? Damn
straight it is with 100 rounds loaded, but it didn't put the
rifle out of balance for me. It might for you.
Does it protrude too
much? A whole lot less than the 40 round mags that I normally
use. With the Beta C Mag, I can use my bipod easily. With 40
rounders, the magazine protrudes more than the bipods if I try
to set the rifle down on the ground or a shooting table.
Is the Beta C-Mag worth
the $500 I paid? Depends upon your point of view and your
reasons for having/wanting one. I reloaded it when I got home
and keep it in my safe next to the AR15 -- just in case ...
Knowing what I know
now, would I still buy it? Definitely.
Other downsides? -- I
wish each drum had a clear section of the plastic so you could
see how many rounds remain. When it was full, I knew how many
rounds it held. When it was empty, I knew it was empty. In
between, I was just estimating. For me, estimating is a lot
easier with 30 or 40 rounds than with 100.
Happy shooting,
Bill Corbin
