Are your magazines marked? It really doesn't matter, until it does... Pistol or Rifle magazines eventually give up the ghost. And when they do, they cause weapon malfunctions. It is important have your magazines marked in order to quickly isolate the problem and replace that magazine.

Typically, I use just sharpies. For example, National Geographic usually has decently wide yellow borders to mark on. Popular Mechanics usually has monochromatic backgrounds for its cover picture, so I usually go for a corner on there.

I never thought of marking them for that reason. I do mark my 6.5 Grendel mags so people other than myself don't stick them in the wrong guns though.

Yeah thats another good reason for marking mags, for example marking .300 BO and 5.56 on your mags if you own both calibers.
Great tip. Simple, easy way to track mags. ( The Chief says : " Simple is ALWAYS better" ) !

@@KitBadger You know as well as I do, that when the defecation hits the oscillation, every plan you made, goes right out the window! The essence of combat is doing what you can to control absolute chaos. But regardless, mags being the weakest link in your primary, even with the old warhorses like the M-14, having a way to quickly identify the problematic ones is a great tip. I'd never thought of it. Same for autopistols. Everything but revolvers, pumps, or lever actions. Sometimes you have no say in what you might have to use in a straight up shoot em out.😁
I never knew what adding color was for, I’ve just always rattle canned the base plates of all mine caution yellow to A: prevent mixing up mine with others when i have a good amount of people out with me, and B: to find them easier after changing them on the move, only because of the grass is sometimes high where I go. Nice and bright, just easier to find fast on the walk back haha. Cool info tho.
Agreed 100 percent. As a student of the gun and Firearms instructor, I find failure points and training mags and it's easy to eliminate and replace. I will say that Magpul handgun magazines are tough as hell. Glock factory, Not so much.

I have a 40 round pmag 60 round pmag 1 32 roumd MFT mag 4 regular 30 round magpul mags 6 pistol mags 12 rounds each 1 33 round pistol mag I doubt ill ever shoot enough to tear them up esp my AR mags but what the heck ill number them anyways Makes sense for me esp pistol since 9mm is about 29 cents a round to shoot target

Hi, Can it be used for marking weapon front sights, is this makes visible? Pls advice
For a more aesthetic look, stencils and a silver sharpie or white paint work really well.

I came back through videos like this to see if anyone puts symbols on their stuff. I usually do a number and then my initials so like 024 and then on the other side i have PG. Well I went to a class recently and some dude had his the same way. We were taking each others mags. So I started putting triangles on all my stuff.

Thanks for the video. I used the dot matrix on my gen 3 PMAGs to identify 5.56 vs .300 BLK, but I hadn't thought about essentially serializing the mags. By the way, any reason you didn't just use nail polish remover/acetone to remove your friend's markings?

Good stuff.
Do you also have a written log of mags and there markings? Maybe in a notebook? I assume not because your forgot where you left off. I used a label maker to add my name and mag number. Put it on the front spine but as i used then it’s wore off lol.
@KitBadger

I don't have a log. I just identify, segregate and toss mags that give me issues.
Can't you just buy a new spring if the shell or follower is fine? For example if it double feeds thats usually a spring going bad?
@KitBadger
6 жыл бұрын
Yes and No. You can replace the follower and spring in magazines. But double feeds can be indicative of worn out feed lips. Which is literally the magazine body itself. Does that make sense?
@mountaintraining9203
6 жыл бұрын
Kit Badger yes it does. Is it usually excessive wear underneath the feed lips or on top that causes the double feed?

Great video thank you for posting. What make and model pen did you use? Is oil based paint best & is there a better brand marker then another? I’ve had some difficulty in the past “paint not adhering/not marking as well“ I was just curious what type of paint pen and what make you used. thanks in advance.

For the real gear heads: Use UV pen . Mark your mags or whatever in your gear that needs a system . During day or night , pull a UV pen flashlight out and use to distinguish your UV pen markings . Discrete & efficient . 😎
