[ARCHIVED THREAD] - What the hell is this?

Posted: 9/11/2003 9:03:51 AM EDT

I ordered some cheap range mags from Sportsman's Guide. They are steel mags with "AR-15" and "Made in USA" stamped on the bottom. The followers look like the old black ones, but the spring doesn't fit thru a hole in them. The follower rests on top of the spring, which has a strange bent top. The mags seem to be fairly well made, otherwise. They appear externally identical to the black/blue british steel mags. What do I have?

The real question is how well do they work? If they work fine, whats the difference?

These are either USA or Western Metal Products aftermarket (junk) mags.

SEND THEM TO THE IRAQI'S IMMEDIATELY AS A GIFT. THEY ARE WORSE THAN NOTHING.

I got them cheap, so I'm using them as the mags to be smashed so I can get CMMG's new bodies and rehab kit.

The mag where bought from Forest Co. They are lousy. I made the mistake of buying 12 they are unsafe. The only thing they are good for is to shoot at.
