 How old is this thing, it states "colt ar-15" on the floor plate, I am guessing late 60s.I found it in a drawer at work ( I forcefully work at shop office for 596th Maint. Co. in Darmstadt Germany) |

 If it's a Colt, it isn't steel. It's aluminum body w/ aluminum alloy follower.Also- there is a steel spring retainer which is riveted to the front, this spring should snap into a slot on the floor plate. (I mention that as there may be some rust which would lead one to believe it's steel...) Are you sure it's steel? Sly |

I have one of those too. It's a great mag. The follower and springs move so smooth, I would like to get more.

I was given one, it works ok, but my DR200 seems to like 30 round mags more.

I just purchased two of these used and unfortunately I think one of them is going to need a new spring. Both need to be refinished. Otherwise they look better than most of the mags I've compared them to.

I looked at my 20 rounder and was that is was prob an early AF or USA mag but on the side opp of the welds, there is a " c" near the bottom of it and the ends of the "c" have a loop connecting them, I might have to add a pic. What kind of mag did I find?

Isn't that the "UI" logo for Universal Industries, Colt's sub-contractor? All of my Colt mags have that logo. |

If I look at the mag from the side, it looks like the c I describer earlier. IF I stand it up its looks like the I and the U.

Sorry, yeah I get what you saying. "Technically" When you look at it on its side, it should like a "H" inside a "C" for "Colt Hartford". (At least that's what the legend is  )It's a U.I. body and if it has a Colt Floor plate, it passes as a "Colt magazine". Obviously contracted by Colt from UI. Should be an excellent mag.  Sly |
