My magazines are rusting!

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - My magazines are rusting!

Posted: 7/24/2002 7:32:58 PM EDT

I got two 30-round and one 40-round magazines from Cheaperthandirt.com about a month ago, I've hardly used them (Won't be a member of the gun club until the beginning of August), and they're starting to feel rough. When I rub them with a tissue, the tissue gets rust smears on it. Is this normal? Should I coat it with something? Should I get aluminum magazines?

All USGI 30 round mags are Aluminum.

Huh... must be a reason?

Steel mags for the AR are crap.

Sound like USA mags

Completely agree with the above. Only buy USGI mags---repeat that 3 times!

Where's a good place to get them?

I could tell you, but then I'd have to give you a lobotomy.
