I recently picked up some 30 round magazines here on the EE that were sold as new Colts as they had Colt floor plates.  The mags I received are steel body mags that appear to have been sand blasted and they appear to have no finish on them.

Has anyone ever heard of or seen these?  My speculation is that they are some generic body with Colt floor plates.  I have never seen Colt mags with steel bodies.

I guess I bought some expensive floor plates and green followers.

Do the floorplates have the Rampant Colt symbol, or just the letters Colt?

Do your magazines have a rough finish similar to these?

Here is the picture from the sellers ad.



The surface is ruff, appears to be sandblasted.

There does not seem to be any finish on them at all.

No markings of any kind on the bodies.

Were those the "heavy-bodied magazines"?

Yes,

And a magnet sticks to them like a champ!

"heavy bodies type"  If the mags work then all is fine, just the fact that they were altered with the Colt floorplates would leave a sour taste.

Are you going to address the siteation?

Emails have been sent to the seller questioning what he sold me.

I have received a response back that he purchased them about 6 months ago and that he tried to use one of the mags but it didn’t work with the ammo he was trying to use.  I have sent an additional email but have not heard back.

Not a big deal, I may just re list them for what they are and get out of them what I can or I might just strip out the floor plates, followers and the springs.

In the future I will only deal with reputable dealers, I guess you get what you pay for.
