[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question on a Colt 30 rounder...

Posted: 8/4/2005 2:28:10 AM EDT

Can someone tell me if Colt made a 30 rounder that is more or less blued,
and not parkerized. I saw one that is blued, Colt floor plate, and green follower.
It was offered to me for sale, but I never saw a blued, so I didn't know if it
was authentically a Colt.

Probably crap with a Colt floorplate. Mags are not parked or blued. They are aluminum w/ a dry film lube coating.

This is a 30rd mag I got in the NIB Colt R6600 I bought. It has a black follower, though. I think it should be a Colt!

Thank you, Air Commando, that looks just like the one I saw/bought.
I went ahead and bought it, figured "what the heck". Most places
around here want 15-19 bucks for a USA brand mag.

Is yours aluminum? a magnet will answer your question in a heartbeat, if it's aluminum you got what you wanted. Otherwise it's a piece of shit w a Colt floorplate. Hope there's no holes in the mag body.

Well shit! It has no holes in the mag body, but it will hold a magnet. I guess if
nothing else, my Colt will eat from it, it doesn't seem to mind on mag preferance.
