Looks to be a grab bag, really can't tell quality from that one photo, main thing is they have straight bodies w/no dents and the feedlips are correct. Any other issues like springs, followers, or baseplates are an easy fix.
At 15 each its a gamble, at 10 each its a no brainer.

As long as they aren't DSA, Korean, or damaged, they should be fine.

Koreans have a stamped bevel vs ground bevel of others. As for DSA, can't tell.

I have a couple of DSA 30rd magazines. They look a lot like real FN FAL 20rd magazines (dark black Teflon like coating), except, they are longer (although they do make 20rd magazines as well)and they are marked on the bottom of the base plate and on the magazine follower with "dsarms.com"  Don't make the mistake I did and buy any of their magazines. They're very unreliable.

DSA's have a double crease down the front.   None of those are DSA.

Yep.

If those are surplus mags, $15 is a great price.

Though if you don't want them I'll take them.

I'd probably buy em all - will they cut a deal if you take all of them?
