Brownells is making their own now, as well. Typically, everything Brownells puts their name on is gold.

I had really good luck with the steel British SA-80 mags with the green
followers, not being a fan of the alloy mags, and there is a gent that is
a regular on AR-15.com that sells them reasonably.....if I can find the
name of the shop, I'll post it here for you. Seems to me, that his shop
was mostly a refinishing/coating shop.....

I've been ordering teflon coated D&H mags from CJCS Supply .

The site is temporarily down but they're good to deal with.

Two places to look

As anyone tried out the curved 20-rd magazines Brownells is now selling?It looks as if they may be the same ones offered by DPMS.

Just came upon this thread. Personally I stick with the 20 round straight mags. I have yet to find a 30 round mag that is 100% reliable under combat conditions, or regular use for that matter. Even in the sandbox most of us only filled the 30 round doglegs with 20 rounds, beyond that we didn't count on them to feed reliably. Not to mention the 20 rounders are easier to use ona bench and prone position in my opinion.

HK is now making 30 round all steel AR mags which seem to be very high quality. The followers do not tip forward, and they appear to have a Black-T or similar finish on them. They're $49.99 a pop, but the local range can't keep them in stock. They're selling them as soon as they hit the shelves.

I had to laugh at that one. I am thinking there is a slight bit of exaggeration on this young man's part OR he is using junk magazines that have seen no maintenance in its existence.

These are the 20, 30 round Stoner AR magazines I just ordered from Midway for $9.99 each. They have the new grey anti-tilt followers. These are excellent magazines that are made by C-Products. You can take the eraser end of a pencil and depress the follower anywhere and it will depress without jamming up. I can't do that with the standard green follower mags. Bill T.
