I bought about 30 of the 20s from Target sports. I checked and all have a crease in the rear feed lip area. I have used a couple, but according to that thread they were know to be defective. Just being honest, mine functioned great for the couple mag loads in the few I tested. I'm waiting to hear what Brownells has to say about it.

I'm a little surprised by the silence...

Just bought 20 new mags from them dated 5-13 and 6-13. 30rd Anti-tilt.
Would be nice to know if I need to be concerned about my mags... ETA That doesn't look good...

Well, crap. All my Brownell's 20 rounders have the creases. 03-09 and 02-13 date codes. No failures so far...

We apologize & are sorry to hear some of you received faulty magazines. This is frankly the first time the team here has been alerted to this potential issue. We do not have a documented “bad batch” of magazines out there, especially military issue mags. This thread has been passed to our production staff to get eyes on & provide you with a detailed response. Anyone who has purchased commercial magazines (not the tan follower military magazine), please contact us for a full refund or exchange. Please do so even if you did not purchase these directly from Brownells. Those with military magazines (tan follower), we will be PMing you to work out a solution.

We wanted to provide an update after running this by the production staff. The area in question does indeed pose an interesting manufacturing challenge, as the feed lip & rear contour are formed at the same time. Consequently, there may occasionally be an appearance of a fold or crease. This does not affect the integrity of the feed lips. USGI style aluminum magazines from other magazines will also illustrate this “crease” to a larger or lesser extent.
If anyone has any concerns about the magazines you have in your possession, please contact us and we will get you a refund or exchange. Any product produced or sold by Brownells has our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. We appreciate everyone here bringing this up, and we will work to remove this cosmetic issue from future magazine production runs. |

I was thinking about returning mine but I think I'll just use them.
Will you guys replace any if they do break? |

I have learned of these issues and have been searching for information. I have 30 rounders 078-000-113ec dated 10/06. Are these the defective CProducts I have heard about or are these ones that Brownells in-house mags?
