The AWB ended so their crappy mags were no longer desired by anyone.

For years I begged my friends not to buy their shit magazines - "oooh, but they're so cheap!" It was a hard lesson for me to learn and I for one hope their business never returns.
BUT... as an aside, last night I was going through all of my AR mags trying to decide how many LE/Mil ones I should pick up now that they're going to cost $5 each used in a few weeks - and lo and behold - what do I find in my "good" AR mag collection? Two USA 30 rounders and one 20 rounder! I remember buying theses things over 12 years ago, and to be honest - they've never been a problem (and I've purposely boot stomped on more than one of their mags out on the range when they’ve failed). There are a couple of ‘fluke’ USA mags out there – but they’re very rare. |

USA mags are a waste of perfectly good sheetmetal.
Good riddance if they're gone. |

My first 40 round AR15 mag I bought was a USA mag.
I bought it for $35 at Southern California Gun in San Diego. It took me less than 20 minutes to figures out it was complete shit. In fact it was the main reason why I went on line looking for stuff about AR15's and found AR15.com. I took it back, they refused to return my money but told me I could exchange it for something else. They had these two other steel 40 round mags next to it wrapped in paper and plastic for $40 (the reason why I passed on them in the first place was the extra $5.00) so I gave him back the USA mag and $5.00 and took the new one with me. It was a Sterling.  |

+1000 With the ban gone, they should be out of business shortly. I have 2 40rd mags from them. They both work, one doesn't seat exactly right( won't catch bolt on last shot ). Then again, I didn't expect much for $10 bucks each. In fact, I'm surprised they worked at all.

I hope they were thrown away. I've never found a USA mag to be reliable. (AR-15 .223)

I've got a 10r that I bought in 1990 (when I bought my Mini 30) that has always worked 100%.
I bought a few 20r's from CDNN for the 30 and they actually were made pretty good (for crappy POS mags) and worked 100%. So I got 10 more. These are the only ones I own. |

yea,yea,yea, I know i got 2 POS 7.62 mags but I also have one that works without failure, and I have two 30rnd Glock and 2 18 rnd Glock mags from USA, and none of those have ever failed, jammed in any way. So i guess its a love hate relationship |

USA magazines suck. I wouldn't trust any magazine they make for anything.

It's probably better for you. 10 years later and they'll still suck ass. |

Yeah that metal has been cheated out of its true calling as corrugated metal roofing over a mud hut in some third world shithole. |
