I thought I would start here in the Retro section. Mod please move if need be.
Yesterday I picked up eight 20 round and four 30 round mags from a I guy I work with. He got out of the hobby and had these mags to get rid of. I gave him $100.00 for ten Colts, one Adventure Line and one Orlite.
My questions have to do with eight 20 round Colts.
Four of the mag bodies are marked with Universals "UI" symbol. The other four have no markings.
Two of the floor plates are marked:
(PONY) COLT AR-15
CAL: .223
Colt's PT. F.A. MFG. CO. INC.
HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.
Two are marked:
(PONY) CAL. 5.56 MM
COLT'S FIREARMS DIVISION
COLT INDUSTRIES
HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.
Four are markd:
(PONY) COLT AR-15
CAL. 5.56 MM
COLT'S PT. F.A. MFG. CO. INC.
HARTFORD, CONN. U.S.A.
Now I'm assuming that over the years the floor plates and mag bodies had been switched around due to cleaning or some other reason.
My question is which floor plate belongs with the bodies that are marked with the "UI" symbol? All have alloy followers.
Thanks for the help.
