I purchased one of these kits last year.  All of it appears to be of the same material as my USGI's.  The followers are not exactly the same color green, but they look like they are shaped the same and feel like the same material.  Springs look like the same.  I bought these to put up and keep in storage, so I can't give you an idea on function in a mag.

thanks bruddah!

guess i'll  slap 'em in and see what happens...i was thinking of lightly filing down the edges of the followers. would this make them smoother in the mag body and more reliable? anyone done anything like this?

i like tapco--h/w i have been hearing lately that some of thier products have been having quality issues--like their AR carrying handle and M-4 stock--both were not up to spec

if it does not say "made in USA" then its probably chicom and not good in quality

if you do get em, post how they work
