| Anyone know of any reputable places to get USGI mags at? Also any info or links for what marks that appear on USGI mags to verify authenticity. |

I'm by no means a M1A/M14 expert but I was able to get my mags from a guy on Ebay. I'm not sure if he/they are still selling them or not. I bought 4 USGI surplus 20 Rd. mags new in the package still. As far as I know the GI mags are the only ones that are parkerized. The Taiwan ones are blued.

$89.95 for two mags?

Goddamn! |

| The mags I got from ammo man look to be GI but are supposed to be the Taiwanese. Mine are parked, not blued. I've had a couple that have had some feeding problems, but I think its because they are new and the park is so coarse. I took some steel wool to the insides and they seem to be working better as I shoot them more, but I still get an occasional FTF. |
