I was given about nine a few years ago, some 20 rounders, some 30 rounders. (Later I found out why) Half of them would not fit in my AR. A few were so tight it required 2 hands to remove. I am not too bad at home remedies, so I squuezed them GENTLY in a vice to assist with side clearance. The tac welds, or folds separated. The 2-3 that fit work fine. I kept the others for the springs or followers. I would not buy more and would rather spend my money on GI contractors. Have they in time improved? That I don't know. |

'USA Magazines' are at the cheap end of the scale - and quality is lacking. Stay with GI Issue.

had a few for the AR and the MINI 14, they are not worth the time or the effort, stick with GI mags, good quality mags can be had for as little as $10.00 if you look in the right places

USA MAgs are junk. Right now J&G has good condition Colt mags for 9.99 if you buy 10 or more. I bought 20 and they all work great.

Thanks guys, had a feeling and it explains why they're only $9.99. Hope Midway had the 30 round mags for $9.95 again, and soon. lol
