He bought the Colt 30rd replacement mags from CDNN. The bottom of the floorplate says "Colt AR-15 Made in USA" and the label on the wrapper says "Colt AR-15 pre-ban replacement mag". He did get a 10rd with the rifle and it goes in and comes out OK, but definitely doesn't drop free. The Colt 30rd mags go in and come out very tight. After looking a little closer, he said that it almost appears as if they're dragging on the front of the trigger guard. I have a Colt M4 and they go in mine fine and the spring pushes them out. I gave him one of my GI mags and one of my Orlite mags and the GI goes in fine and the spring pushes them out. The Orlite will not lock in place like it does on my Colt. Does Olympic make their own mags, or do they buy them from an after-market supplier? Looks like he's going to have to invest in GI mags.
