"You Can't Polish A Turd" I should know, I own 6 USA 20rnd mags. BTW, Welcome! [:D] |

Wont work - the feed lips for USA magazines are generally improperly done and just a touch too short.
I like that "Cant Polish a Turd" - it fits nicely here. |

Dunno, but I bought 2 & rightly caught hell from the board members! P'sOS. I'll never make that mistake again.

I tried the GFs in those mags, then noticed the lips are unevenly sized. I got them NIW back when I got my 1st AR and before I read the Mag FAQ. What a "deal" huh? 6 for $50, or $50 for a lesson learned..... |

Add the cost of crappy USA mags and the cost of "rebuild kits" and you have enough to buy good-condition used USGI mags.

Well it looks like USGI mags is the only way I'm going to make you crazy people happy.
So I guess that's what I will look for and buy. Thanks for all your input on the subject. |

Quoted: Has anyone tried sticking one of the new green follower and spring sets in a U.S.A. mag to see if it will make them more reliable? I know the group feels U.S.A. mags are trash, but they are cheap and the rebuild kits are inexpensive also. So without flaming me, what do you think? Aw hell, you can flame if you like, I can take it… [}:D] |
