Cross Mags are coupled 10/10 pistol LAR mags that fit STANAG-compliant firearms. As the law currently stands in Canada, mags are limited based on what they’re designed for not what they’re used in. Since these mags are designed for the LAR15 pistol AR, they’re pistol mags and can be 10 rounds each even if you use them in a rifle. Cross Industries asked if I wanted to try some of their Gen 2 mags and I emphatically agreed because I use their Gen 1 mags for 3 gun.
Gen 2 of the cross mags comes with a few improvements, namely:
- Plastic finish is more coarsely textured on the outside for better grip
- Feed angle has been modified
- Follower modified
I found them to be just a bit tighter on the 10th round than my gen 1’s. This is always a tightrope to walk because too loose of a fit may allow an 11th round in, while too tight of a fit means the 10th may not reliably feed.
Feed wise. . .I didn’t have any problems with my Gen 1 mags and I didn’t experience any feed issues with Gen 2 either.
