ITEM #: AR0116LE30RD = Okay Industries 30 Round Magazine ITEM #: AR0116LE20RD = D&H 20 Round Magazine GreatWaputi, please explain, with your best rocket science logic, how the item/model numbers indicate the manufacturer. |

"Fair valuation" means different things for different people, obviously. To each their own. Just for shits and grins, EE prices of sub $12/each for NOS 30rd Okay mags is far from worth complaining about. |

Are you asking about Okay USGI surplus or their Surefeed and Surefeed E2 commercial magazines? @OmniOrdnance Good question. Not the E2 ones. Definitely the Surefeed commercial ones. As for Okay USGI surplus, I'm guessing a person can't get them for near new condition. So, for my original question, not the Okay USGI surplus. New question: How much do Okay USGI surplus mags go for and in what condition are they in typically? |

As for Okay USGI surplus, I'm guessing a person can't get them for near new condition. So, for my original question, not the Okay USGI surplus. The difference between Okay SureFeed commercial and Okay USGI is the ffinish, colors and followers. SureFeed (non E2) = very durable PTFE over anodized aluminum - black, gray and tan - MagPul follower USGI = dry-lube over anodized aluminum - gray, gray or gray - black, green or tan follower Black and green followers can easily be changed to MagPul because the spring is the same. Tan followers are anti-tilt, so no swap needed. New question: How much do Okay USGI surplus mags go for and in what condition are they in typically? Okay USGI surplus magazines are available today in all conditions. Condition ranges from new in box to very salty, no dry-lube finish remaining (sometimes called "patina") and everything in between. Naturally, condition can dictate price. New in box and like new: $10 to $20 Excellent: $8 to $15 Well used/salty: $6 to $12 |

Okay SureFeed is far superior in quality, finish and durability to D&H. D&H base plates are inferior; thin, soft and easily damaged. Reliability of new mags in general is comparable. Both have MagPul followers. D&H has stepped up their game lately. Their full seam welding is a big improvement to the traditional spot welding. Their new production curved 20 round mags are excellent. Okay SureFeed, if you can find them, will cost two to three times more than an easily obtainable D&H. |

I bought a 10pk from RRA a few weeks ago. They were new Okay mags, but were not in any packaging so they had more wear than I've seen on other new Okay mags that were tested for fit. The price for new/unfired Okay mags isn't going to go down. I'm seeing $12-18 for grey 30rd's. E2's, straight 20's, FDE, and Black are all going for more than that. |

Do they all show 2016 as the year of manufacture? Were Okay mags made like that (spot welds or stampings?) until they stopped making mags? |

Yes all these ( and most of my other 100+) are all 2016 manufacturer and yes they were spotted welded right up to discontinued. |
I can explain it to you but I cannot understand it for you.

Dang, I've got a bunch of the straight 20-round OK Surefeed still in the wrapper from a sale that was posted on here. They have the black followers. Have a whole bunch of the OK 30 rounders from RRA still in the wrapper. I'm keeping them there and started buying Magpuls (762x39) and Lancers (556). I like the Lancers because of the steel feed lips. |
