Hey, just wondering if you guys have heard of this brand before.....may have come with an Armourlite years ago??
Bottom plate has: Adventure Line MFG.Co Parsons.KS.USA They are steel curved 30 rnd mags, just been given a few from a friend. They look quite a bit different round the feed lips to my Colt mags, quite a bit stronger looking? Any help appreciated. Thanks in ad |

It is an older brand, I don't think they are in business now... or perhaps they've been bought by someone else.
Here's some information: [2-1-3] Adventure Line Manufacturing Company
––––––––––- Army and late Air Force contract mags made by Adventure Line Mfg. Co. Adventure Line was eventually aquired by Center Industries. Dull alloy followers and gold/bronze colored anodizing. Made from 1966-1971. Floorplates stamped: ADVENTURE LINE MFG. CO. PARSONS. KS. U.S.A. from THIS THREAD: |

Adventure Lines are good mags, both the 20's and the 30's.
I love it when dealers at gunshows price 20-rounds with the Colt logo on them for higher than the AL mags...the AL 20's are far rarer. Got three new 20-round AL's for 10 bucks each during the ban because of that bizarre prejudice. Official USGI in every way, use with confidence. |

Been using them since the early 70s, never a problem. As above poster pointed out, they're G.I. (since VN era). |

I think that is how it went down. Been out of business for many years. Their magazines are great, though. easily identified by the goldish/yellow/green anodizing. |

Thanks to you all for the feedback.
Typo mistake on my part with the steel/alloy thing.....knew they were alloy obviously!! They were given to me by an ex SF buddy, had had them sitting in his shed for ages, they do look really good, better built than my colt mags it seems. They all have plastic followers, would that be correct?? Thanks again. |
