I bought 10 of these because they were so cheap. 8 bucks 9 delivered. I did some searching and got a lot of reviews, most seem to be that they work well. Some do not like them because they are not GI issue. I have never used any of these before.

I've never had any issues with my C Products mags in any size. Their 7.62x39 mags are probably the prettiest girl on the block for x39 ARs.

For 5.56 I prefer magpul (because they won't dent), but functionality is virtually identical.

Thanks. I bought 10 because they are so cheap. At 9 bucks each delivered that's hard to beat and there seems to a lot more pos than neg on them. There is nothing that gets 100 percent. I don't know if its new old stock or what but its black follower and anti tilt. I see they make an orange follower that is anti tilt. Maybe its just the lot. I wish I could buy them direct, they are made down the road in Bradenton.

The majority of my mags are C Products and I ran them hard during a two day fighting carbine course without any issues. They were dropped in the dust, mud and even stressed by me laying on top of them (prone shooting with a chest rig) without a single failure to feed.

On the bottom plate: Are the mags stamped with simple block lettering or do they have an etched, graphic font?

Its simple script, I have photos that the vendor Ammunitonstore.com said that they took of the actual mags they are selling.

I had time to call and change my order. I changed to 5 of the C defense and 5 of the gen 2 magpul. The magpul seem to have the best reviews I have seen.

You'll be extremely happy with those.

The reason I asked about the lettering is that I'm of the OPINION that the mags with the simple block lettering (which I believe predate that bit of unpleasantness between C-Products and ASC) are the best ones, but that's empirical evidence (or anecdotal to you) based on an evaluation of a VERY statistically insignificant sample size.

I have three of the Gen2 magpull 30 rounders. They are great.

They are Gen2 mags no window. I have a few and have used one that came with my Colt 6920 with magpul furniture. It worked well, but so have my GI colt mags. I did change the follower on those to the SS anti tilt with SS springs. Seem to work well.
