Ok, Ive heard both sides of this but if someone can tell me for sure then I can lay it to rest: On Colt 20rndrs is the UI stamped on the front of the mag for Universal Industries or is it CH for Colt Hartford? I know Universal Industries made mag bodies and sold them to colt and other private companies but what is it for sure? headbang.gif |

From Troy's MagFaq... [2-1-2] Colt ------- All Colt-marked magazines were actually made by a sub contracter, Universal Industries, a division of Okay Industries. GI-Contract Colt 20s had alloy followers and are marked with a "UI" stamp (for Universal Industries) on the front narrow wall of the magazine. Tilted on it's side, the "UI" becomes a "CH" (Colt, Hartford). The US Military switched to 30-round magazines in the early 1970s, and Colt-marked 20s made after the switch had black plastic followers. Anodizing is generally gray or silver in color. |
