RZE Unimag

[LRRPF52]

I'm starting a thread for this mag so we can get some feedback for the forum on how it works. It appears the initial production run was way too tight in most mag wells, requiring both arms and knees to remove from AR15s.

This was supposed to be addressed with the next run.

If it works, it could be another option for mags for us.

Most interesting, while I love my E-Landers it wouldn't suck to have another option...

Why is the red follower reversed- in the 2 pics, with what looks like a 5.56 round inside-? Is it metal lipped, and poly bodied?

It has an articulating follower that equalizes orientation based on what cartridge you load in it.

There's a spring guide that has pivot points for the follower to hinge on, so it can adapt to different case tapers.

It's meant to load and feed 5.56, 7.62x39, 6.5 Grendel, .300 Blackout, etc.

Sneaky, I see what your talking about its not reversed its just the angle the pic was taken at that makes it look that way.

Still no answer on the poly, Yes A5 the picture was reversed. BFT is a photo shop wiz. I'm guessing he had a time in this pic- it's what he does.

Man, all of my awesome ideas from long ago are finally being made--- I was a busy guy in the days... New mags., new bullet ideas, I can retire in 30 years, no money from my ideas, yet a happy guy!

The center internal - vertical guide is too deep into the ammo column at the top- see it? That's why it is bulging with the AK, & Grr rounds- needing a huge effort to extract the mag. Maybe a softer spongier mtl. is needed. Or keep the internal ribs as same as the 5.56 in that area.

The Grrrr has a few issues, for sure for mags. I Love my new 5 rnd. Grrr Pmag tho... Smoooove , like buttah.

I ordered one of these to play around with. It is supposed to work with 5.56, 6.5, 6.8, and several other calibers. Thefollower is two piece with a "teeter totter" hinge for the lower part to allow the back of the follower to bend down to accommodate different size cases.

Mine was ultra tight in the mag well even empty, so I'm trying to return it for a fixed one.

Clever idea. I think this is the one a guy came on the forum with a year or so ago looking for testers.

It's a little steep on price at $35 but could be cheaper if quantityies ramp up. It is advertised as holding 24 Grendel rounds and thirty 5.56.

I only have 6.5 and 5.56 in AR rifles, so that'she all I can test.

How recent was your order?

Is it something that can be sanded and re-finished in the mag well area?

I just got mine last week from PrimaryArms.com. It could have been on the shelf fore awhile.

This is not a "knock off the rough edges" problem. I don't think it would have gone into the well if I beat on it with a rubber mallet.

I emailed RZE but got no reply. I'm going to try calling them at the number in their packaging.

Not unusual for a new product to have some birth pains, so I'm willing to give them another chance if I can get one that fits.

Most of the reviews say they need 2 hands and their feet firmly anchored on the rifle to get the mags to budge after they were pounded into the well, like a wrestling stick game.

[Sticks]

That would make it California compliant.

As a Californian, I both laughed and cried at that comment.

[Belt Fed]

Did they ever perfect this mag and get it working? Be a great idea but not if you can't install and remove with ease.

I Googlized it and could not find anything since 2017.
