AK-47.net: BETA C-MAG
 
    By William J. Corbin

Well, I took my new Beta C-Mag to the range Saturday morning and decided to see what would happen if I emptied all 100 rounds without stopping from my Colt Sporter Lightweight.

Here are the results:

  1. About round 30, my wife hid behind a column.
  2. About round 50, the crowd began to gather.
  3. About the same time, my AWC Hyper Dyne compensator began to smoke.
  4. By round 100, the coating on the Hyper Dyne bubbled and burned off and people in the crowd began to pick their jaws up off the ground.

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
