Picked a Colt 30rd mag up today .Floor plate is stamped Colt AR-15 5.56 along with the address.
Stamped on the side it has 62667.The odd part is the follower,its a very dark green but has what appears to be matching numbers stamped in white that are on the mag body.Is this a common Colt mag?

Colt did not make their mags, was sub'ed out using Colts logo on plate.

It is the first issued 30 rounder.

That isn't a CAGE code. It was Colt's part number for the 30-round magazine in 1966-67. There is a similar but different number stamped on to the follower in white paint.

CAGE codes weren't added to mags until the 80s.
