I'm thinking about ordering some orlite magazines to use in my Olympic lower. Are there any problems with this type of magazine fitting in my lower. [sniper]

I have a "JJ" S.N. series Oly lower and haven't had any problems with Orlites. I have several different mold #'s and they all fit freely and drop free.

I do not know the going price, but last year I bought a few at a local Gun Shop (Hoffmans on Rt 15 in CT) for $14.99 each

They work (But why not USGIs?).
They're uglier than Thermolds (JMO), but seem stand up better to being kept loaded indefinitely.
BTW, who has a good price on them?

CDNN Investments has unused Orlites for $14.99. Used but good condition ones were $9.99 each. Also, do Orlites need to have the green follower installed?

I've had feed lips break on orlites, and two of my buddies had the lips flex enough when they inserted the mag into the magwell that rounds shot up into the upper receiver.

I rather pay a dollar or two more in person and inspect what I am buying than get taken by one of the mail order companies.

Just my opinion
