I havent seen any postings on this so I thought I'd share..
For anyone with a ceiner/atchisson .22lr conversion kit for their AR looking to pickup some extra mags I picked up a couple of the newer Black Dog Machine mags. These newer mags come in a full size body and are now offered in a 10 round capacity for us behind enemy lines.
Unlike the original ceiner mags made of steel, these mags are made of a very hard polycarbonate and are hefty. The fit and finish are really top notch and they ooze quality. However, I do have concerns that over time, the feeder lips may become chipped or damaged with hard use. I guess only time will tell but overall, I love these mags and would defintely recommend them. They feed reliably, can be taken apart to be cleaned and I always hated the sharp "nub" feel of the ceiner mags. They handle and feel like a real 30rd mag which makes all the difference when training and shooting.
Since a picture is worth a thousand words, here are some comparison shots. ENJOY!
My Setup
Mag size comparisons:
Magzine Markings:
Ceiner vs. Black Dog Followers, feeder lips:
Ceiner vs. Black Dog Loaded:
They do fit in pouches but buldge at the top:
AR Ceiner vs. BD mags:
