So I'm aware of their (carm) magazines for a while now. Just now looking into getting one or a few for different airguns if they make them. Does anyone know what these have been printed with? They look printed to me. Are they glass or fiber reinforced? Also, is there a source in the USA and if not, how long does it usually take via mail/customs.. ?
 
I don't know what they are printed out of but Darko will tell you if you send him an email. I have found them to be sturdy. I have one single shot loader for my P35-25, a magazine for my 25 Avenger, and two magazines each for my P35-22 and P35-177. All of these devices work well. The P35 magazines are a little snug in the gun initially but they need to be. The SPA magazines have magnets to hold them in place which the CARM magazines do not have. So they depend on friction. After use, they fit better than they do initially. No issue on the Avenger magazine. It takes a few weeks for the package to get to the U. S. but you will get good service from Darko.

Three weeks time average delivery to Texas. They look like, well they look like plastic 3D printed magazines, but they have performed flawlessly to me. I’d tucked a broken manufacturer’s magazine away for almost a year after I got some CARM Mags. And the price is right. They’re good in my book.

@MACTEN I think it’s worth searching the threads and reading what other members have said about the specific mags you’re considering purchasing before ordering. I haven’t read any bad reports, but good to take what’s been said into consideration. I think you’ll like them. I ordered two at first and should’ve ordered four.

I will do a search.. But so far it looks like a A+ rating from everyone commenting.. !

MACTEN,
Agree with others, well-made product, great customer service and fair pricing. The CARM magazine for my Generation One Umarex Gauntlet .25 was too narrow for use and money refunded. Casino7095's video, "Part 3, Avenger Bullpup", also had an unusable CARM mag (.22) for same reason. Only two instances I'm aware of CARM magazine issues. WM

I just got a package from them last week.
This is my third order. The first was for 4 magazines for my RTI Prophet. Three weeks sounds about right, if I recall.
Second order was for a couple of extra RTI mags and a single shot loader for it and my Umarex. The SSLs are great!

The most recent order also took about 3 weeks. My first magazines were the open type. I really like them because they are so easy to load, but wanted to try the closed type.

So far, I have been quite pleased with everything I have gotten from CARM.

I have 6 for my Daystate rifles and one for my RAW, all work perfectly. I don't know anything about the printing process, and what different materials are feasible for fabrication. I'm sure these are not as strong as the factory mags that are mostly metal. But, how strong do they need to be? I can't imagine an issue with durability under normal conditions.

Not sure if this the right time to be ordering overseas - ordered mags 6 weeks ago - still don't have them.
Hmmmmm, I got mine in under 3 weeks, but then I've got a Customs fast pass for my business. They are good mags, a touch of a pain to load but then that's me, been good. Darko is great on communications.
