I heard Okay is getting out of the magazine business at the end of the year.  
Are they still in production?  Can we expect to see another batch?  Hard to find.

Order now, or soon to beat the rush.
Botach is one online store for these. They were shipping those made in late 2021 when I checked a month or so ago. The lot # and date is on each mag.

I work for a distributor that has carried Okay Industries mags for a long time.  We sold out a while ago and cannot get anymore.

Okay is in the process of running 3 months of inventory for the buyer to cover orders during the equipment move. The plan is to shut down Okay’s production line and ship the manufacturing equipment in early/mid-October. The new company is estimating it will take 3-4 weeks to be up and running (mid-November?).

I tried buying some off Botach, but used Paypal and got an email saying Paypal cannot be used on ammo or mags.  I  had them cancel it and I cancelled my paypal account.  Filthy commie leftist PIGS

Last I looked DSArms had them listed still.
I am curious what Brownells is going to do now. I noticed they started carry the D&H ones.

I don't think Brownells has ever sold Okay magazines?

When I took a look at their prices for every D&H that they're offering for sale, it took me by surprise that they're offering P320 magazines. Thirty round extended capacity magazines to be exact.

I don't think it a coincidence that their individual magazine packaging changed to the same format as Okays and their information on the side relocated to the same spot as on an Okay mag maybe a couple of years ago. Also they are out of mags now and started carrying D&H 223 magazines.

I know I've heard over the years that they were making their own magazines, though I could be terribly out of the loop... The only Brownells magazines I ever bought were their straight 20s, but they are completely different than Okay's straight 20s and the packaging is/was completely different as well.

They purchased Co Line to manufacture their magazines.

2006

Co-Line signs first Department of Defense contract, partnering with Brownells to produce the ammunition magazine for M16, M4 and AR15 rifles.

Pic is an older Brownells mag from 2013 on the left, a 2021 Brownells mag in the middle, and an Okay surefeed from late 2020 on the right. The Brownells in the middle and the Oaky on the right are packaged the same. The Brownells info by the mag catch is now moved up starting above the bottom like the Okay mag. The main front indented crease at the top is rounded like the Okay on the middle packaged 2021 Brownells mag unlike the flatter top of the crease on the old coline Brownells mag. Also the other two creases now extend up as high as the Okay mag instead of stopping lower like the older Brownells one on the left. Not in the picture but the all the older Brownells I have are wide when viewed from the bottom and have a slight gap at the floorplate sides. That is gone now and they are similar to the Okay mags now.

J3_ mentioned the Brownells=Okay thing awhile back so I looked at some 2021 made Brownells 30s next to some Okays and they were so close I think it’s entirely possible that Okay was making them.
