Do any of you guys have any experience ordering the blemished M14 20rd magazines directly from Check-mate.  They come in packs of 5 for just under $160.  They are a bit cheaper than the regular ones if you can even find them at retail prices (which I haven't been lately).

I have been looking everywhere for some magazines. I may have to take a chance with these.

I was thinking the same thing, my friend.

I don't mind a couple of scratches, they will be scratched after a couple of range trips anyway.

They have a spot for a coupon code, anyone know of a code?

They have free shipping at $199.....2 extra 20rd rebuild kits gets you to that total.  Shipping is gonna be almost $17 for me so it might be worth having the extra parts.

Comes out to $172.72 after shipping for me. I will add a couple of the kits for free shipping, good idea.

Well crap, it wont let me order due to my Illinois shipping address.  They apparently restrict all IL sales even though their shipping restrictions correctly lists only Chicago, Cook County and Aurora with magazine restrictions.  Other then those 3 places, we can own any magazine capacity we want.

Try giving them a call, they may let you place the order over the phone.

Exactly.  Some of my old mags are 40 years old and they work just fine, no matter how much of the parkerizing has worn off them over the years.

Yup! I miss those days I used to get all my mags from them.
What was the story with 44mag? Why did they close down awhile ago?

I received my "blem" magazines today. I can't find any belms on them. The only difference I see is they have plain unmarked floor plates, and a couple of the followers are gray, and the others are black.

I wouldn't hesitate to order them again. Actually if they were still in stock I would of ordered more right now.

Hell, I didn't know they made 15rd mags.

He retired and nobody in his family had any interest in keeping the business, at least that’s what I heard.
