Are these real factory HK mags?  They don't have a date code and the "Made in Germany" part doesn't really match HK's typeface.

New to HK's and looking for magazine's for my clone

Those are the real thing.  You might also look for the Korean MP5 mags.  The finish kinda sucks, but for 1/3 the price, you can't go wrong.  YMMV

Do you know when and why HK stopped date coding their mags?   Aren't their 416 mag's still coded?

Also what's up with the "Made in Germany" billboard?

thanks

Check out RTG they have good pricing.  Roberts easy to work with and fast shipping.

If I didnt have a stack of POF and HK mags, I'd give these a go. the price is definitely right.

Yeah, I'm thinking about trying them but they don't have metal re-enforced feed lips. That's the same as their HK33 mags. I have some of those and they seem to work fine.

As far as the Korean mags, make sure to get the ATI mags. There were earlier versions of Korean mags from other manufacturers and they were a bit problematic. The ATI mags are the closest to factory.

OP: You can trust Hkparts.net. He has a good rep. Although his prices can be a tad high. The mag pictured is the real deal. I questioned it myself when I bought it from another dealer. I bough it for my MKE and it works perfectly. The ATI mags have proven 100% reliable as well. Also, check out the HK straight mags from cole distributing. They're the older version, but they cost only $25.

When Adam Webber lists the brand as H&K, then it's the real deal.

I bought five identical mags from MidwayUSA and they are definitely factory mags from HK.
