I bought them from CDNN as "South African AR-15 9mm mags."

Yup.  They are great mags.  I have a few.  Some are "tight" while others were "way loose".  I solved the loose ones by putting some metal tape (not duct tape) on them to take up the slack.

Looking at them, that is where I got the idea of using Sten's in the Colt system...since the South Africans and Sten mags look so close a like.

I'm not quite sure where to find more of those mags.  Once in a while some pop up in EE and on the auction sites.  A few times, some people post ventors (web sites) that have them.  But as with any "mag", the quality varies.  As I said, some I ordered were "loose" and required shimming.  Good enough for play mags I would say.

My Colt mag block mags are in a drawer right now.  I think I have 6 of the SA mags, and a few of the Uzi type.  And a few other kinds for the Colt block.

I'll be putting 5 of these (along with some other stuff) up for sale on the EE this weekend.  Shoot me an e-mail if you want first dibs or they should be up sometime Saturday.
