| A relative brought me a magazine today thinking he was doing me a favor and it turned out to be a fake. I wasn't here when he arrived, so when I saw the package, I knew right away it wasn't real. The mag was in a zip-locked bag with "ProMag Industries" and ProMagindustries.com printed on it. The website looks legit, but the magazine is a poor copy of a Magpul mag. The worst part is, he paid $24.99 for a non-windowed black 30rd mag. |

I wrote ProMag off years ago. I have never owned a functional ProMag magazine. And I will never own another.
Now I understand in times of desperation, you tend to scrape the bottom of the barrel. Once that's gone and you tear the bottom competely out of the barrel and dig into the reeking worm-infested slime beneath, well there you go . . . Terry, now and forever ProMagless . . . |
I have never had any problems with it but from hearing most people talk about them I don't usually use them.

Sorry, but the first thing I thought was "Why the Hell would anyone want to make a counterfeit ProMag?" 
My thought as well. That said supposedly they have improved. They have a lifetime warranty so you can keep sending it back until you vet one that works. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile |

Not worth the hassle, the replacements were just as bad. Finally just gave up. Although I will admit that this was a few years ago. IF they have improved, then good for them, but I will never know. Some brands I will just never trust (or buy) again. |

OP hope everthing works out for you |
