Original Magpul Assists get the job done
I have a bunch of these on my Mini 14 magazines and they work really well. I did a zombie competition a few years ago and ran a Standard Mini 14 with a folding stock and did quite well. No malfunctions and the light and handy carbine got the job done. It really does make a difference having a carbine that weights about 3 pounds lighter than your average AR15 but I’m well aware that the Mini 14 is not a combat worthy firearm. I had a few friends run AK style guns in this competition and shockingly they did not do well. The AK variants are known to be robust by the lack of ergonomics with the gun does make it slower to run.
I have the Woolrich Elite 44903 tactical vests and I’ve used them for years, the real appeal of this type of tactical vest is that it is lower profile and more comfortable to wear than a molle vest. My PMI magazines that I use for my Ruger Mini 14 are the magpul magazine accessories known as the magpul original assists. They rubber like attachments protrude from the base of the magazine can make the difference in speeding up magazine changes and avoiding any fumbling. Some tactical vests are so deep that it is difficult to retrieve magazines and for $12 you can resolve that issue.
The best thing about these Magpul products is they work for the Mini 14 guys that can’t afford a Mini 14 or if they just want to be different. Even though Magpul Pmags for the AR15 have a thicker base and may be easier to grab, you can replace the floor plates with the Magpul Ranger Plates. We have a large selection of the the Magpul 30rd pmags for sale and the black, OD green, Foliage Green and Flat Dark earth 20rd pmags are the strongest and most reliable AR15 gun magazines.
