Still fairly new and tried the search with no luck. When digging through grab boxes of surplus AR mags, what mfgs should I be looking for on the bottom plate? Thanks |

Did you read the FAQ in the Magazine Forum? It will answer all your questions. You can find it here |
D&H, Okay, those guys. Look for green followers. But unless your getting kickass deals, go to Dennys Guns online (Globabl Tactical Supply) and buy some C-Products mags w/ the Magpul Gen II follower for less than 10$ a piece! Even the green followers will fail sometimes. I've never had a Magpul follower fail AT ALL. Good luck. SB |

I agree with Scotchboy. For the low price of a new magazine ($10 to $12) with a green or Magpul follower, there is very little reason to buy used or surplus mags. In my experience in the early to mid-80's, 30 round magazines were very susceptible to feed issues once the feed lips got dinged even slightly. Unless they were pretty new, we went for the 20 round mags - and these were by defintion not surplus. I shudder to think how bad a mag had to get to get surplused at that time. (Reganomics, no paint on the barracks, etc.) |
