Ordered 40 of their mags few years ago (mix of 30s and 20s) for storage. They're dated 11-16 with chrome silicon springs and lime green followers.

Did a spot check of several and found this with each one on both sides of the rear feedlips

Going to contact them and ask for an exchange and whether or not they can verify if the ones they'll send have that defect as well. Anyone had issues with theirs?

Can't say I would care on a twenty since the mil ones are open in the back.
