No. Nothing special. I do like steel though.

The followers are so damn smooth that you'd think they were on ball bearings.  They won't nosedive, and they will last forever.  They're a bit bigger than a standard mag lengthwise, bit heavier as well.

I have seven of them still in the wrapper. I have used them before and like them alot. This last seven I have are for the right buyer with the right amount of $$$.

As posted, they are very 'smooth.'
Other than that, I bought a few when they came out, to add to the mag. collection.

the black stainless ones?

good mags, but heavy, and they were pricey ( $60 ) when new.
I seem to remember something about them being a result of an H&K program to enhance the reliability of the Brits enfields.

These were all sex and glamour when they first were rolled out (and not available except to HSLD units / not sold to serfs).  But they don't last (ironically for "high reliability magazines with a big price tag).  USSOCOM stopped using them.


 



ETA:  What makes the HK "high reliability" magazines a poor reliability choice is (1) weak, proprietary springs - and since HK never sold them commercially, when private acquirers tried to get replacement springs, HK said "turn them int your supply chain and draw new magazines" - and (2) improperly heat treated feed lips, which deform and cause malfunctions.




For apparently beautifully made, heavy stainless steel magazines that cost as much as the grey market / black market asked for them, these offered no advantage over less expensive, more reliable alternatives.




Except HK.
