[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Five Colt mags or five Labelle mags?

Posted: 10/2/2005 2:46:32 PM EDT

Which would you choose? The Labelle's are teflon coated prebans and the Colts are dry film coated. The Labelle's would be $29 more.

Either will work fine for you. The labelle's will still look new for a few years though.

As far as I know, Colt doesn't make any mags, so all you are paying for is their name stamped into them. They will both work, but the teflon ones do seem to work a little smoother in some of my lowers (it could just be me).

they are not worth $29 more.

Here are a bunch of pre-ban NIW mags for a hell of a deal www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=7&f=24&t=193156

I guess I should've said they would be bucks more for all five, if it matters.

I wouldn't buy a "non" Teflon mag again. They are the shiznit.

My Bushmaster Teflons looks as nice as the day I got 'em. My Colt mags looked crappy the day I got them.

Buy the Colt mags.

99% chance they're made by Okay, and they are in fact very OK

The Teflon coating is fine, and both mags will work 99.999% of the time, but it's not worth the $29 extra just so they "look better".

Function before fashion...IMO, anyways.

if they were the same or almost the same price i would go with the labelles.

if not i would go look elsewhere for some center,okay or the like and save even more money over the colts

like others have stated, the main difference in most of the usgi mags are just the floorplates
