My son (marine infantry) brought back a 30 round M16 magazine from Iraq with the following markings on the floor plate:

Adventure Line Mfg. Co.
Parsons, KS

It seems well put together and compared to my C Products mags, the welds seem much more robust.  Anybody know about these mags?

I had (or have) a couple of them and they've never gave me a problem.  
Seems like good standard USGI stuff.

jer9vs2324, does your son's Adventureline mag have any "Colt" markings on the side of the mag body?  How about a cage code of "33710"?  (see my above link)  I'm just curious.  Thanks.

They have probably been kicking around in the system for the last 30-35 years.  So much for the theory that USGI mags are not durable.  Lots of them do get "lost" though

Had my 6 or so 30's for about 25 years, and maybe 5k put through them total. No problems. Work just fine.
