I bought a couple of mags in the clear plastic wrap yesterday at a gun show for $12 a piece, with Center Industries marked on the plastic. The wrap is exactly like the new USGI mags I bought way back in '89 or so, same markings that I remember except with a date of 9/05. However I noticed the floorplates have no markings at all on them, and on a table a few feet down where I bought these another guy had the same mags for sale, for $20 each, and the floorplates were blank also. Is this normal or is someone repacking crap mags in USGI plastic and resealing them?

They're fine.  This is simply how Center is making their mags these days.  I'm not quite sure why they do this, but it is their practice.  They're genuine.

Cool, thanks. I wish I had enough green on me to buy the whole stack the lady had.

The ones that I have seen with blank floorplates still have Center's CAGE code and a date stamped on the mag body.
