Getting ready to order some from Coles and was wondering if there is that much difference in the 3 quality categories. They offer 90%, 95%, and new. Has anyone ordered any of these and could offer any feedback about the quality differences?
Thanks |

I'd spend the few extra bucks and get the $25 American Tactical mags from Gordon Miller.
http://hkspecialist.net/ Gordon Miller 864-590-8570 I usually have to leave a message and then wait. http://hkspecialist.net/product_detail.php?Category=26&Index_Seq=385 $25 each + shipping + credit card 3% charge. "American Tactical" stamped. Of the last six that I purchased, I haven't tested them yet but one of them required that the spring be re-seated to work properly. No big deal to anyone with an MP5, as servicing the mags should be a regular activity and this is an easy thing to do. The only differences that I could see between these new Korean mags and the previous ones (from another company) is that these have the exact same angle on the feed lips as the factory HK mags. Their follower is a better match as well. And the die cuts to the leading edge of the feed lips are a better match too. These are the best looking match for factory HK curved mags that I've seen so far. ETA: I should also mention that I previously bought four of these AT mags and they work flawlessly so far in my full auto CA89. These just might be the bargain mags that we've been looking for over the years. More testing to go. |

I sold (3) factory HK curved mags and bought (10) cole 95% mags for $40.00 more before the current admin took office. I have one that has had (3) FTF so far and the rest have run 900 rounds through them or (3) full mags each and have no issues with my 115gr FMJ reloads.
They looked brand new to me, very happy with them. |
