From what I gather, 30's started coming into service in the late 60s,(1969?). I'm wondering who the contractors were beside Colt and did any of them have the metal floor plates? Looking to buy a few more and want to get the right ones. All I have now is an emerald green one. Thanks for your help. -Mark http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_3_123/692631_Got_an_early_30_round_magazine_today.html |

It appears that there are several varieties of these early mags. They come with emerald green followers, and followers that are almost black. They also come with four lines of markings under the AR-15 stamp on the baseplate, and three lines of markings underneath the AR-15 stamp. The base plates with four lines of markings appear to be the least common, as are the almost black shiny followers.

Do you mean metal followers or floor plates? I'm assuming the former. I have a couple of Adventure Line 30s with black plastic followers.

The black plastic adventure line followers are not the same as the almost black early Colt followers, which are SHINY black, and have white part numbers on them. |
