Does anyone know if the factory springfield mags are any better than the checkmate. Brownells sells checkmate mags for around $25.00 and the springfield mags are twice as much. I have been told that checkmate makes there mags.

I've used these mags, and have compared them to Springfield mags, I can't see any difference.

I believe Checkmate Ind (CMI) actually makes the mags for Springfield.  So you might as well just get the CMI mags and save $25.

You and me both!



I asked about it in the Magpul forum and was basically ridiculed for it.

The ones I had that I received in a trade deal awhile back worked okay.

No bolt hold open and needed work to lock in.

Decent range mags, but nothing to write home about or to count in in a SHTF situation.
