Found these USGI D&H mags for $6.87. Seems a good price.
http://www.ammunitiondepot.com//ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=MDS10005 Is D&H gtg? I have hundreds of PMags, Some HK stainless mags, and a shit bunch of Colt USGI. But one can always use more mags.  |

I have a few. Sometimes the edges seem a bit sharper than my Colt / Okays, but they run just fine. Buy with confidence.

I do have a good number of 20rd marked NHMTG that I use for bench shooting and they have always been reliable where I've had problems with the Pmag 20s. But I fear I drank the pmag koolaid much too deeply and most of my old 30 rd USGI mags went away to buy the newfangled plastic fantastic. After the high wore off I find pmags are fine and all but I miss the classic USGI. Time to shop! |

I have some D&H mags, that looked like they were dragged down a cobble stone road when I bought them used for dirt cheap. They work just as well as my other mags.

USGI mags? USELESS. Old technology the military is still using only because they are so far behind what is really state of the art for the times.
Just to do you a favor though, I'll give you 5 bucks for every one you have. Send them to me and spend that money on PMAGS and Lancers.  You'll be glad you did!

These mags are GTG even though they aren't USGI (although they do supply to other nations as I have read). I own quite a few of them and every one has operated flawlessly for me in all of my rifles.
Buy with confidence..... |

I remember using some Labelle marked 30 rounders either on active duty or in the reserves. But that was 20 plus years ago... |

That business practice is a big turnoff for me: hook you with the low (advertised) item price, then negate that savings via profit-inflated shipping. The PSA deal is under $1 per mag SHIPPED to get Magpul anti-tilt in the same D&H mag body. And, of course the more you buy the more you spread out shipping cost reducing per-item shipped cost. |

I had some Labelle mags a while ago, good mags. Sold most of them to ban states and bought plastic. Might still have a few. Have some Sanchez, Center Industries and OKAY marked mags too. The Center and OKAY are marked 02 & 03 with the military and law enforcement makings. The Sanchez are clean I believe these are still preban era. Anyone know about the Sanchez mags? I almost recall some bad rumblings about them from times past. |

IIRC, Sanchez had their contract jerked because of QA/QC issues, primarily bad welds.

I've gotten a few batches of D&H that had sharp feed lips, notably the front corners. Took a little work with a file to get them to run right.

However, if I compare it to my various other magazines it shows really light welds. It is only used as a range mag and for comparison to other mags when I teach AR courses. |
