Has anybody tried or heard any news about these magazines from Botach??
I am thinking of getting a few.

Lancer L5 Translucent Magazine

The L5 is a translucent 30 round magazine developed for the 5.56mm M16/M4/AR15 rifle. It has an impact resistant translucent polymer body, corrosion resistant steel feed lips and a removable, patent pending, rubber coated bottom. The L5 was designed to be used with the existing magazine pouches and carriers.

If you do a search, you will encounter quite a few threads on the Lancers.  Here are some of the more popular ones:

I read all the negative & positive about Botach. I called them about these magazines & I was told they were in stock. I ordered a few & immediately got a tracking number that they were shipped. I also received a 10% discount.
I should receive them on Friday and hopefully get to the range on Saturday or Sunday to try them out.

apparently they generate a tracking number soon after the purchase is made and charge the card. Then if they have them they will send them, if not then you're shit out of luck.

I am in the middle of having a bad experience with Botach, so it depends on your luck or what you ordered.

I am not sure on what everyone is thinking...and everone is entitled to their opinions; the L5 functions is flawless.. However, stick w/ original GI mags.(20 to 30 rds)..Anything else is just for marketing and looks on your AR....Original mags is the breeds..

Most of my mags are GI but I bought 5 lancers from Rainier Arms last month and they've become my favorites to use. They work very well and they seem real durable. Worth a couple bucks more IMO.

Did you get your mags from Botach?  Just curious, not just about them but how they handled the NY transaction (do LEOs get the opportunity to take possession of post-ban 30rd mags in NY?).

Since these have been out for a while now and have proven themselves reliable and durable, I am now a proud owner of 3.  I will definately be purchasing more and recommending them to all the guys on my team.

ETA:  I can't wait for the 20's!
