Are the KCI M14/M1A mags any good?
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

You would think so being that they probably used m14s for awhile. Even checkmates have issues with the follower sometimes, grab a couple and see how your rifle likes them.

I use my two usgi mags for 2 gun in my scout.
Game on!

May grab 2 or 3 to try out. I have 20 mag rebuild kits(follower, spring, floorplate) I bought years ago for around $3 per kit. Got them at a Knob Creek shoot back in the mid/late '90s.

I have around 25 or so  Borg Warner M14 mags I bought long ago. Was just wondering about the KCI.

What does the welds on the body and tab look like?

I am rusty on M14 stuff, been a while since I bought anything. Is KCI Korean?

I bought some KCI .30 Cal M1 Carbine mags and some KCI AK mags.     They are made from thinner metal that seems softer than GI or Commie mags.    

I will not be buying any more KCI mags.  They function OK, but they are not as durable as mil-spec mags.

I bought 5 of the KCI FAL mags when they first came in. No problems out of mine like others had reported.

Don't know what they look like yet. Just thinking of getting a couple to try out.

Yes, KCI is Korean.
