Whatever vendor you go with, verify that they work with the ammunition that you'll be using. WWII clips generally work with everything. [Older] AEC 3 / CMP clips have been known to not work with PPU .30-06 / post-72 HXP / NATO extractor groove sized ammunition.

Explain "the worst" and "long before"; half of New England has Constitutional Carry. If you had instead said Southern New England (Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts) from 1993 onwards, then I would tend to agree, but things didn't get bad until SB1160 was passed in Connecticut in...
