[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Newbie found cache of new mags from England

Posted: 5/31/2003 11:00:16 AM EDT

I bought one of those mags from England, already comes with the new follower, only its black and not green. Functions flawlessly. Turns out the guy has about 35 mags, all new, $25 each. I'm gonna trying to buy in bulk and get a deal. Thanks for the help guys.

Search around a bit more, you should be able to find some for right at 20 dollars or even less than 20 dollars.

25 dollars seems a bit high from what I've been reading lately.

Tapco sells them for $19.99
Dans ammo sells them for $15.
RGuns sells them for $15.
I bought 6 from Dans with free shipping.

I just bought 6 Imperial Defense Forces mags from CMMG. These have the "England" sticker on the side. They came with a green follower already installed, and CMMG tossed in some silicon springs, too. These are stronger than the original springs, and I installed them right away.

These mags easily insert and drop free from my AR's.

CMMG has them for $25 each.

I didn't see the mags listed on Dan's website. Is it an unadvertised special he has going on??

Thanks,

Brad

Dans has been out since april and the TAPCO ones now cost $25. RGuns only has the black ones.

I picked up two new ones at the last gun show for $18 each. So far I haven't had much luck with them. Numerous FTFs but I'm going to give them another try with new green followers and springs before I shit can them.

If they don't work after that, send them to me. I could use a few more range mags.

I took them to the range today and shot about 100 rounds through them with no problems. I haven't replace the followers yet but I did use Q3131A ammo instead of PMC. I was very happy with the mags now that I used decent ammo. I'm not going to use PMC any more.

Just so we're clear, the green followers are a drop-in replacement for the black ones in the English mags? I just picked up 5 today at the show and they had black followers.

Look very closely and take them outside and look at them under natural light. I swore mine were black until I saw them outside.

My $18 English mags have a follower that is the same design as a GF, hence they don't need to be replaced.
