Anyone know who makes Bushmaster's 9mm mags for their new 9mm rifle?

Are these Colt copies?  They are not listed in their mag section for sale.  Maybe this could be a solution to the Colt mag shortage?

They are promags.

Certainly not a solution because they are shakey at best in most rifles.  I had to modify mine to get them to work properly in my rifle.

How extensive were the mods? and what rifle?  At $50 cheaper each, you can justify a lot of mods.  Damn, the Colt OE mags are so expensive, it's almost cheaper to go with Beta-Mags. (Never thought I'd say that)  It's a shame they're so heavy, even when empty.

I have 15 Pro Mags that work 100% in my new factory built Rock River. No other magazine will work. At 11 bucks each I am happy with them. I just wonder if a Beta would work in my Rock River as UZI and Colts wont.

Bushmaster uses colt 9mm pro-mags.  I have used dozens of them and not had one problem.  Sure, there might be a bad apple from pro-mag once in a while, but at the cost, just buy a few, you should be very happy, I am.

Thanks for chiming in folks.  Can I ask where the cheapest Pro-Mags can be found?

Thanks

Promags are fine for range use but not for real world.

Promags

The first samples I seen were actually labeled:

'may be made from domestic or imported components'

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad.....I guess they were made somewhere maybe here nor there.....origin EARTH.....lawyers writing up labels to avoid the 'Made in China' moniker.

Sometimes they work well in Hahn adapters (and other brands) often times they do not.  Hahn Precision does NOT recommend using Promag.

Do the Pro Mags hold the bolt open on the last round?
