[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Odd Mag

Posted: 10/23/2005 7:44:59 PM EDT

I just aquired a 20 round mag marked:
Armalite
223
Colts PFA
Hartford Conn.

Mag body is waffle pattern and made of steel, the floor plate is steel and looks like it is blued. The follower has an "S" on the front.
I looked at Troys mag faq, and that says that early 20 round mags were aluminum, what gives?
I think I have the floor plate markings correct, I left the mag at work so I'm going from memory.
