Who makes the best 40 round aluminum magazines? Thanks. The old "Sterling" brand 40 round magazines originally made for the British SA80 (Pre HK) and AR18 are the best aluminum 40 rounders I have ever used. Found this picture of one.

ASC is the only current-manufacture aluminum one that I'm aware of. I'm personally not the biggest fan of ASC, but some people like them.
There are polymers from magpul and I believe MWG, and steel from E-Lander (Mako). If I wanted 40's, I'd try the Pmags & E-Landers; but I'm seemingly one of the only people who have had perfect success with the new version of the E-landers. Their 30's that I have, have worked flawlessly in the admittedly-limited use I've given them. Several people that I know have had very good success with the Pmag 40's, but I have no desire for 40's and have never used them msyelf. [edit to correct. ASC is not aluminum] |

They were the only C-Products mags I ever had that would actually function. They were great. Edit....should have read the above post. ASC were the same. |

Are the older Bushmaster 40 rounders aluminum? I have one, somewhere, I'll check if it's steel or aluminum later today if I can find it. |

Not much help but I know they exist. Someone gave me an aluminum 40 about 15 years ago. It was junk and I disposed of it, but someone made them at one time.

The c-products 40s ran for me.
The E-Lander's have worked for me. The CMMG 40 worked. The pMAGs . . Well . . They are pmags |
