I have seen them a lot at gun shows and surplus stores but up until now have ignored them as they are usually asking way too much, no point in buying used when new ones could be bought online for same/less. Obviously it's a little more difficult to just order up new mags right this moment.
So the other day I'm at a local gun shop and they have a bunch of these surplus mags for $10 apiece. Normally would just pass right by and order up a few more C products or PMags but got kind of curious and bought a few just for the heck of it. They are obviously used but there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with them, no cracks or anything in the feed lips and no dents anywhere. The base plates are a mix of three manufactures:
Parsons Precision Products
Kav Industries
Sanchez Ent.
Obviously wouldn't bother if the regular mag supply wasn't tight right now... How bad could these things be? I haven't had a chance to try them yet but I don't see any reason they should work just fine. Anybody else buy surplus mags?
