I bought 6 ETS AR magazines from a banned vendor here.  Low and behold, I received all of them out of its original packaging.  The feedlip tops were on like they are supposed to, just seemed odd that without the packaging looks like I bought these used.  But I noticed that the translucent magazines are different in terms of clearness than the ones I purchased through the ETS website.  To describe it, these new mags seem hazy, less translucent, and just different from what I have now.  I inspected it, compared both magazines and can't find any other differences other than the difference in translucent.  I was also aware that Lancer did something like this with changes to their translucent mags.  Sorry if this has been discussed before, but I'm still shocked why these new mags don't look like the rest.  I will set these aside until I found out what's going on.

ok, i figured I would get more traffic in this forum but I can post in their forum.

Thank you PursuitSS.  My first thoughts upon receiving my mags were that they were counterfeit.  But I couldn't find any differences other than the translucent spectrum.  I wasn't aware of the changes ETS made so I had to ask.
