I don't even have an AR yet but I bought some magazines today along with other parts that I'll need for my build.  

Question is what are the numbers stamped on the side?  I'm assuming that one is a date 02-08 but what is the number above that....part number?  They are made by Colt if that helps.

Thanks!
Josh

I believe Colt mags use a part number. Some companies use a CAGE code.

02-08 would be a date

The CAGE code shows the manufacturer of the part or mags.  Hope this helps.

The number next to the date is probably 33710. That is the cage code for Okay Industires, which make the mags for Colt.
