I know there are the chinese copy of the of the Pmag hicap but i was wondering if there were any of the 30 rounders? I bought mine from Ebaybanned so i started to think they were infact a copy of the Star ones but they look identical to the Star ones. I tried to search around but couldnt find any 30 rounder pmag clones. If someone could clarify for that, that would be great! Thanks

Clone ones suck in terms of durability and reliability.

There was a video on ASEU comparing ACM and Magpul PMAG's - lets just say ACM ones got owned

[koreaneric23]

Yea i saw that video. But that was for the hicap. Ive seen video of the chinese hicap version of the pmag but have yet to see one or any information for the 30 rounders. My 30 rounders feed perfectly although one of them is a tighter fit then the rest. Also the magazines hold 33-34 bbs so most only feed 28-30. I just wanted to see if there was any surefire way of figuring it out.

Actual Star/Magpul PMags are not available in Highcaps.  I wasn't aware of any clones of the normal ones.  Do the markings match the ones in my review?

[koreaneric23]

Ok so pretty much 30 rounders/50/75/and120 rounders are all and only made by Star. And Xavier, yep they are identical to the ones in your review. I still dunno how to remove the base plate though.

They're about the same price shipped as the STAR ones on eHobby, so I'd guess they're at least comparable

these http://shop.ehobbyasia.com/magpul-30rd-green-label-pmag-for-m4-m16-black-10pcs.html?

I thought those were the Star one?

[reddeth]

Yea, they're about the same price shipped, the ones on ebb are like $0.30 cheaper

Ok but that doesnt help me at all. The thread was asking if anyone knew how to distinguish or even clarify if there were clone 30 rounders. As of now Im pretty sure i own the Star 30 rounders. If you can find me a link of a clone 30 rounder pmag that would help me a lot since i have had no luck finding one.

I would assume there's a "Made In China" label somewhere on the Chinese one . Otherwise I'd guess the only difference would be PMAG markings, unless ACM did that as well.

Where do they even sell clone PMAG's? I've searched a bit in HK retailers and didn't see any

[koreaneric23]

yea ive looked as well so im not sure. There is no made in china writting either. Ive seen the hicap ones in the videos but nothing about the mid/low caps. Either way mine feed great, no issues but it is a tight fit though in my KWA M4. I just ordered 5 more off ebaybanned. Besides literally being identical to the ones that Xavier had on his reviews, the individual mags came in plastic that was similar to the ones the Star ones come in individually. The 30 rounders ofcourse.

I don't believe there are any CLONE lowcaps/midcaps. The only clones are the high-caps

Unless you count the STAR ones as clones of course.

Well didn't STAR get licensed to make airsoft PMAG's?

They are Magpul PTS branded products, just like the actual Magpul ones.

[Kodiak22]

as far as i know Ebaybanned only sells official Magpul PTS items now( I.e Star pmags), plus ive never even heard of ACM 30rnd Pmags. so you should be good.

[koreaneric23]

Ok thanks everyone for helping me out. Can someone help me get the base plate off? I still havnt figured out how. Thanks

Push harder.  If that fails, you a small mallet.  They just slide on and clip on the back.

Hold the mag upside down with the front of the mag pointing away from you.  Use your thumb to push it up a little and off the front.  It's a pretty tight fit.
