Doesnt make sense, but hard to figure how someone makes a new listing for an item like that.
Botach at least refunds in my experience. Worth a shot if you want em. I dont really |

I received my first order of Okay surefeeds from Botach and wound up placing a second order that should be here tomorrow. They had/have Lancers for $9.99 too which influenced placing the second order. No issues at all. They grey mags look a lot nicer after wiping down with CLP and seems to make the finish harder to scratch up.

That seems a bit high, IIRC I paid around $10 each for my last batch, but I may be wrong, senile boomer and all.

Many simply show what appears to be an Okay mag with blurry markings in the correct locations. Others show a legit Okay mag with proper markings.   I was hoping someone had personal experience. |

Brownells USGI mags with the tan followers.
Their commercial mags are good too when they were still making them themselves. Not sure who makes them now. My next choice would be m3 window pmags. |

I saw a bunch at my local shop in Michigan a year or two ago. The Okay markings were clearly visible through the plastic bag. The shop had them priced at $25 each though (not shocking for a SIG-branded product), so I passed on them. They were all sold out the next time I went back. |

What are the blue bagged ones marked? I put up several of these. They're quality mags right? All the surfed and E2s Ive got have been flawless.
I was stewing on these from Botach, but guess I'll pass. I had been under the impression the Okays were the best Al zines made? Always exceptions though. Still can't understand why they'd quit making them. Or why the tooling wasn't sold off to somebody. I can't imagine the market isn't there to support the line. |

The blue bagged magazines have Okay's cage code on the outside sticker. It's also stamped on the side of the mag, and they have Okay marked floor plates. |

Center Industries bought the Surefeed name and I would imagine they got the tooling as well (not sure on that, though). I'm guessing Center is going to enter civilian sales with the Surefeed branding. Whether or not the quality will be retained is anyone's guess. |

CI purchased the entire package - name, equipment, tooling, inventory, etc. When and if new magazines are introduced with the CI CAGE, they will exclude the Okay Industries branding. I’m assuming the re-launch of Surefeed magazines is pending Okay Industries rebranding in 2024 but that’s a best guess.

There was anticipation that CI would resume production where Okay Industries left off. While Ci manufactures the same magazines, the two companies had completely different processes and quality standards. Furthermore, moving and restarting all of that equipment could prove to be a huge task in itself. The first lot of magazines released as Surefeed, with the CI cage, were manufactured at Okay Industries.

I bought 20 of the 30 round SureFeed E2 mags with Magpul followers thinking they were the best aluminum mags on the market based on what people here and the reddit AR-15 forum said about them. The three or four that I have tried so far were complete and utter jamomatic pieces of shit in 3 different rifles. When I went shooting last time I tried one again and I think I figured out what is happening though. Upon bolt carrier group travelling rearward and clearing the top of the next round in the magazine, the rounds are popping out of the feed lips on their own at an angle, and then the BCG moves forward and jams the round into the barrel extension.
What the hell is going on here? I thought their feed lips were designed for increased reliability? This was not a jam from firing a round. This happened when I pulled the charging handle back and held it there long enough at the farthest point just by pure coincidence. I happened to be looking into the ejection port and saw the round pop out on its own as soon as the BCG cleared the top of the round. I had read of some other people having a similar issue, but I never saw anybody discuss why it was happening or what the solution was. Does anybody know? I feel like I wasted my money because I don't even feel like it would be ethical to sell this batch of mags to somebody else and let them be their problem. For reference, I haven't had issues with D&H, PMags, D60s, C Products, Surefire 60s, or Korean steel mags in these guns and they worked flawlessly until trying the Okay mags.  |

I had jamming problems with the blue follower ones so I put magpul followers with standard springs in them.

For reference, I haven't had issues with D&H, PMags, D60s, C Products, Surefire 60s, or Korean steel mags in these guns and they worked flawlessly until trying the Okay mags. https://i.imgur.com/sKlddKc.jpg FWIW, I've had problems with Surefeeds as well. I put a couple in the training mag rotation and immediately had feeding issues with both. I could never figure out the recent hype for these. In my near two decades of training classes with ARs I can positively say that Okay mags hands-down gave me more problems than the Brownells, Center, and Magpul mags we also used. The last Okay purchase I saw was in 2018 iirc and the whole 100 count box was returned and replaced with Gen M3 Pmags because of repeatable reliability issues. |

BOtach also has the HK 556 mags on sale, a bit more 39.99 - but these are built like a shit brick house - heavy, but certainly quality.
HK 5.56mm HK416 / SA80 / MR556 Maritime Steel Magazines 39.99 for 30 rounder |

Lastly, the cost/benefit ratio is not worth the additional cost (4 Aluminum USGI or Pmags for the cost of one HK mag). |

Anybody know where to find any of the Surefeed mags with the raised dots on them? I’ve scoured the web but no luck. Hoping someone may know of somewhere I’m missing.

I'm thinking of putting the ones I have on the EE at some point with a disclaimer that I didn't have good reliability with the ones I opened.

I have a few but haven’t gotten around to using them. I figured they would be good to go so I wanted a few more. Yours has the blue followers? |
