Not sure if the link will work :/
First post here.
This mag looks to be a new 20 rd, but with a nice shiny finish, not the matte look that you see everywhere. It looks to have three pins in it. I can't find it online anywhere.

Hard to tell. To me it just looks like a used magizine that has been modified to limit capacity.

Had to link your pic to the actual image not the gallery page.

Hmm...okay, well thanks everyone :)
Do you guys know of a brand of magazine that has the shiny stainless look rather than the matte finish?

Back in the 70s or 80s colt toyed with a different finish called colt guard and some rifles were finished with it I believe it was some type of nickel finish.  I believe the rifles were shipped with matching colt guard magazines.

I got a magazine like that when I bought a new ban era Bushmaster back around 1999 or 2000 (one of those A2 carbines with the perm pinned "AK Brake").

It looked like someone took a 20 round magazine, squared off the bottom and pinned a limiter inside using two or three silver finished cross pins. The mag body wasn't shiny, but rather a very light gray parkerized finish (that was super thin, I remember the magazine scratching super easily). The floorplate was black and had a Bushmaster snake logo on it if I remember correctly.

I don't remember what happened to that magazine. I think I sold it along with the rifle it came with a long time ago.

Yes, it looks like a Bushmaster. But Bushmaster usually has base plates with their logo on it?

I have a couple (circa 2001-2002) direct from Bushmaster with blank floorplates and the 3 rivets.

Looks like a Perma-Silk refinished mag...

Or a Dri-Film Moly refinished mag...

That looks like the mags that came with my ban-era Bushmaster CMP rifle.
