You'd be surprised what info is listed at the Mag Faq tacked above...... Sanchez magazines have aquired a wholy undeserved reputation as being bad mags. It began when it was discovered that Sanchez magazines exhibited a higher-than-normal rate of failure when feeding the last few rounds in a magazine, particularly during full-auto fire. An investigation found that Sanchez magazines were in-spec, and no explanation was ever given for the increase in the failure rate. Instead, the problem was corrected with the new green "anti-tilt" followers. The Green Followers (GFs) were first seen in Sanchez magazines in 1988, and became standard issue for all M16 magazines in 1992. Sanchez mags should be considered on par with any USGI-spec mag. Made from early 1980s-early 1990s. Floorplates stamped: (DSI) SANCHEZ ENT. MANSFIELD, OH USA Mike |
Thanks Mike, Actually I saw that but didn't really know what to make of it...I did assume that they had gone out of business from the way it was worded, but I'm just curious if anyone knew the exact year that they stopped making them sorry if that wasn't clear. Thanks for the info |
