I have dozens, some of the best are old worn Adventurelines. OKay's are the nicest of the new ones. I even have some FN's.
Very few of any brand fail to work, if they do you can always paint them with permasilk and sell them here as new. |

As far as I know, they all had to meet the same QC and production standards. One is as good as another.

I will type this one more time...
[i]Most[/i] USGI mags are milsurp... When I was in, we cleaned mags in bunches. Strip them down to piles of floorplates, springs, followers & bodies. Reassembled in reverse order. When I buy mags, I assume the name on the floorplate is anything but the body manufacturer. Unless you buy a mag NIW, I would say you can assume the same. I go for rivet count, lip & tab condition. Nothing more. |

Out of all my mags new, like new (out of wrapper), and used Sanchez are the best. Unless someone went to the trouble to prophesy (not prophecy) which ones I would buy and put Sanchez floor plates on the good ones I would get.
TS OKay would be second. |

Quoted: Can you tell me more about the "rivet count"? There were some mags, Coopers IIRC (not 100%sure), that only had 3 'rivets', circular body weld spots on the front & back edges, that were deemed 'substandard'. I make sure mine have at least 6, and some go as many as 8 or 9. Just trying to limit Murphy. |
