Just bought a Bushmaster AR and it came with a 30 round magazine. It seems rather lightweight. I would like to buy some military M16 20 round mags. Where would be a good place to buy them?
Google is your friend...

Not anymore since they started censoring firearms related searches on their shopping site.
Brownells sells new aluminum GI mags at a good price.
Sheesh...
If you google "PMAG"
The first 5 results are:
You might be remembering M14 steel mags.This is my first black rifle since being issued one back in the 60's. I guess I had in my mind all steel mags from that era.
My son had one PMag crack while in Iraq, he said it was apparent immediately as it wouldn't hold a full load, I don't think the same can be said of the metal mags. They can be damaged and you don't know until you need it. BTW the broken one still functions it just has to be down loaded to around 25 rds. 1 out of 10 isn't bad in my opinion given the environment.The thing doesn't break until they run it over with an armored humvee driven at speed. I have personally run over a PMAG in an SUV and it still works flawlessly.
