I ran the poly and Marvel-tuned ace mags but neither has compared to the reliability of the GSG's.

I have two GSG's for my unit 1
They have both been flawless so far.
I would treat them like any other .22 magazine and keep them clean, but you knew that already.

I purchased 2 of them, upon seeing how nice they worked I purchased 6 more and sold all the Colt Ace magazines I had.
I also like the added weight they provide and you can drop them on concrete without de-tuning them! Take my word for it no need to try this on your own!

Just a heads up, The GSG mags sold by marvel are different from the ones sold by GSG or others, marvel modifies them to work with their lock back system.

Re: GSG Mags for Marvel Conversion
GSG mags come now standard with the Unit 1 original (NO Lockback). Work perfectly, but one has to slingshot the first round.
I bought a GSG mag from midwayusa, and it looks identical to the one provided by Marvel. The GSG mag with Marvel Lockback is modified.
I tried using a new Metalform 22 Colt ace mag, and I had problems feeding.
The Plastic Kimber magazine works fine, and I use it mostly for practice.

The Action Pistol component of our local club bought a GSG for the beginner shooter to try the game out. They also picked up 6 mags for it. Several weeks ago I commandeered all 6 and tried them through my Unit 2. I didn't have one hickup out of the bunch. I was impressed.

New Mags make the Marvel shoot like a new gun. So now it is back on its Springfield frame with trigger set at same weight as my Les Baer and has a new MatchDot II on top

Re: GSG Mags for Marvel Conversion
I had trouble with them in an older Springfield lower. They are about .030" thinner than a 45 mag and would not stay in the Springfield. I called Marvel and they said that happens sometimes and they exchanged for the Ace type and all is well.

For my Marvel Unit 1, I have 1 GSG Lock Back from Marvel and 3 regular GSG's. All work perfect with my Kimber Gold Combat frame. These are high quality magazines. The Kimber polymer magazines work fine also.
