Cproducts used to make a good magazine, then there was drama, quality went to absolute crap, at least for a while, when the company changed hands after some lawsuit. Not sure if/when their ship was righted, but the only Cproducts mags I have are for my 5.45x39 AR, since I wouldn't buy their products after the initial debacle.
Some google searches with site:ar15.com tag should turn up archived threads on what went down and when. |

Mags are cheap enough now that there is no reason to keep those Cproducts. You can sell them or throw them in the trash. No need to check further for function, now is a good time to cleanse yourself of anything with that brand on it.

Yep, that was the drama after the lawsuit I posted about earlier above. At one time they were awesome, but that changed. |

They were always a problem, but I suspect s majority of their products were/are adequate. I don't think they were ever tier 1 magazines despite the cheerleading that went on here. |

Yeah, several "members" no longer posted after C Products was banned. They were RABID fanboi's. |

C-Products did a group buy on here years ago. I have (6) SS mags from that. After reading about people having issues with C-Products mags they have been relegated to range use only. I have had zero problems with them.

I remember when they were a sponsor and had some promo that they were giving a % of sales in free mags to troops. That is why people loved them. The mags had problems in those days just that most participants on the forum rarely shoot so the problems weren't immediately exposed. I had problems with my first order and Larry BS'ed and BS's to make me think I was the only one,so I would not post on the forum. It worked, I didn't. It took 3 exchanges to get 10 mags that worked right. then I put them on the EE and was done with that crap. So yes, throw them away |

Why would they need his crappy magazines at that? There are plenty of free mags enough for them through the US military. That whole thing was a scam to promote his business here on the tech forum. I'm amazed that no one else saw it as what it was..... |

The stainless steel 5.45X39 magazines I bought from them worked great, every one of them.
The 5.56X45 magazines had a 30 to 40% failure rate - failure meaning that they will not feed the last 2 rounds. The first 28 go great, then I get a nose down failure to feed. Every time. Even if I only load 5, the first 3 run, the last two go nose down in the magazine when the bolt hits the cartridge base. I just wrote "No Good" on mine with a sharpie and put them on a shelf in the back of the garage. Some day I'll pull the springs, base plates and followers out and try them in a working magazine to see if they are good enough to keep for spare parts. |

What color are the followers on the mags mentioned with issues? I have about a dozen C Products mags with the orange followers, which are anti tilt, and they work great...never had any problems.

Their followers are a whole story themselves. They basically did an exact COPY of Magpul's follower. This was argued for a few threads between C Products & Magpul. |

I found they were about 80% good 20% bad.
The 40 rounders rocked though. |
