My friend has an M16 mag that has PB on it with a serial number on it. I was told it predated any HK M16 mags that were made. I has a metal follower in it made, the mag is made of all steel and the follower doesn't tilt to boot.
 You guys know nothing of these? |

Sure its not an AR70 or 70/90 mag? I'm pretty sure those are STANAG which would imply at least to me that you could use them in an AR-15/M16 type weapon.

Looks like it could easily be an AR70/90 mag, which are STANAG and can fit the AR-15/M16.

Those are AR70 mags, and are different. The AR70/90 is STANAG compliant and the magazines are essentially "M16" style. |

I had purchased some very rough Colt mags from 44mag.com over a year ago to replace the mag bodies w/ new Teflons when the ban was still in effect. I think I paid $4.50/ea knowing that they were to be "dented, busted & in poor shape". Around a dozen had what appear to be those exact metal followers in them. I think I kept them in my odds n' ends bin. They seemed to work OK but I had no idea where they would have come from, their quality etc- so didn't chance running them in an aluminum mag tube.

Yeah I know, I have little experience with this camera I took well over a dozen pics of the letters and serial number. The best Pic I got was the bottom picture. You can see the little characters on the mag....be it very blury . It's the best I could do sorry. |

Oh it works alright.  Stan said it was a rare mag, because it preceeded the HK mags. |
