Shop around. I have them and they are not what they are made out to be. Eventually we'll be switching back to USGI alum. And when they drop the bottoms pop out. Further they do not fit most web gear because they are longer.
I've shot some full auto with them and to be honest a USGI with a Magpul follower is cheaper and works just as well if not better. The black finish isn't any more durable either. If you like the H&K logo, just keep looking you should not pay more than $40.00 bucks or so for them. At $65 they are a novelty. |

Skypilot,
I appreciate your advise...to be honest I haven't even tried the Magpul followers, but I plan to order a few from 44mag.com here this week before the price goes up. All I have ever used are black followers and green followers and the metal ones on some of the 20 rd mags. I am sort of curious about the HK mags, though. I am a student and can't afford to stock up on HK's even if they are worth it, but I would at least like to try one or two of them just to see how they are. I had a chance to "fondle" them at LCW and the action of that follower impressed me...it's so smoooooth!! |

Why not try the magazine forum, which is where the other magazine related thread are. There are a few current HK mag threads going, and you may find they aren't what you think.

For what it is worth the US Gov pays around 33.00 a piece for the maritime and 24 for non-maritime.

I've seen them for around $50 at gun shows. Some dealer from MN had them... can't remember who but he posts in the MN forum occassionaly. LCW is a little high priced on some things, but great people to deal with. I love going there...coolest gun shop ever!

Well, it looks like Cal's has a decent price if you're willing to wait...

Inferno...
I live in Elk Mound, about 20 mins or so from LCW... I love shooting the bull with Tom & Greg, but I agree that they can be a little brutal on prices... Where are you at??? |

I go to CVTC in Eau Claire...sometimes students come clear from Superior to go to school there...quite a drive...
Too bad...I'm always willing to have a new "Range Buddy" with similar interests... Are there any good gun shows up that way...Eau Claire area is BONE DRY for gun shows!!! |

Your best bet for gun shows is the Minneapolis area. I go down there for the good shows. Up here it's slim pickings. |
