If you need pictures, go to the pretator master forum and under the AR forum, look on the 2nd page for Pmag mod.

I've used ASC stainless mags in my Adcore lower/FA upper and they're fine

You have to file or grind out the ridge for the first 3 or 4 inches and they work fine after that.

I hope this helps you. I was ready to get rid of my new Pmags.

The rig came with Magpul 223 plastic magazines. They will not function at all, a round is either
not picked up at all or the round is at such an angle that the bolt jams on it and dents it
in the middle. I tried my DPMS 20 round magazines with no more than 10 204 rounds and they work
90% of the time, but I have to really slam the magazine it and be forceful on the charging to get a round picked up at times. When a round is picked up from the magazine, the gun runs perfect.
I am using Hornady 32 gr V-Max factory ammo.
What is the best magazine for the 204 in an AR?
Also, does anyone make a magazine specifically for the 204 round? I have seen mention of Bushmaster
and Remington making them, but cannot find them for sale anywhere.
Thanks

I usually use 20 round colt mags....to to completely solve the issue, I built a 20P, problem solved.

I know this is old but I have tried a few different mags and the lancer's work flawlessly for the .204. I have used with multiple ammo. I purchased the smoked color ones to keep them separate from my other AR mags with my old eyes cant tell the difference between a .204 and .223 without a magnifying glass
