    I have some old pre-ban Adventureline and Parsons Precision (Same manufacturer I think, both Parsons KS)mags that have been good to me. Both 20rd and 30rd.

    Colt, NHMTG, and Okay are all the same manufacturer and are true USGI spec made to the TDP.

    I've read that D&H make DSG mags and Bravo Company mags.

    I don't know for sure but I've been told that Brownell's and Center make their own mags.

    I think Labelle, Parson and Adventureline have evolved into other companies.

    From what I understand all of the names mentioned so far in this thread, only C-Products mags are "iffy". Read a lot of negative about C-Products.

    Buy some lottery tickets. Cprod is one of the most problematic mag companies ever. I wouldn't take any for free.

    VERY hit and miss. I used to go read all of their problem threads in their own forum on Arftard.

    Uncle Sam seems to like Brownell's for USGI mags:

    =======================

    From what I understand, the latest common USGI green follower was made to correct the Sanchez mag problems. they were pretty crummy with the black follower of the time.

    The Sanchez's I have had were very nice, a slick smooth finish that had a different tint to them and they had (if I remember correctly) 9 spot welds where normally USGI had 6 welds.

    They were known to be very reliable with the improved USGI green follower and they worked very well with the Magpul followers I installed. But somehow they got away from me and I couldn't find the ones I had.

    They seem to be kind of hard to find compared to Center, Okay, and NHMTG.

    Sanchez' were not even deemed reliable with green followers. DoD forced Sanchez to take back all mags issued to US Armed forces......
    don't waste your time.

    edited in.....that's why they are hard to find, most were destroyed or sold overeas.
