How true. Steyr has been using that polymer in their rifles for 50 years or so and I have never heard of a failure of any kind on their fine rotory magazines. When deer hunting, I carry a spare with 5 extra rounds just in case one of those nasty quail eating Bobcats happens by.

As far as the magazine goes, it seems to be made of the same ultra-tough polymer that handgun frames are made of. It is rigid, reliable, functions perfectly, and most importantly, it's virtually corrosion proof (except for the spring), and is ultra lightweight.
