Just an FYI, the idf orlite mags had a problem locking in tight or off spec lowers. Think the problem was with bushmasters and another brand. I had to Dremel a 1000th or 2 from the magazine detent for them to lock in the lower I had in the early 90's. The "newer" orlites also had reinforcing added near the top and feed lips.

People still buy Orlites? Damn, and I thought me buying Thermolds was old school.



American made Thermolds were the Pmag before Magpul started cranking them out.

I'm not buying them to use, although I'll run a few mags through them, I'm gonna put them in the green cases and place them in my crate I had built for my IDF build. I went 100% with this build, heck I even sprang for the Star of David acceptance stamp for the lower.

I just did an IDF clone build with spare parts I had laying around. Basically it's a late model 723, c7 upper, m4 barrel, mepro 21 sight. Looks good with my IDF Ephod, functioning IDF NVG's.
