I found these weird polymer mags for sale that I've never seen and can't get any info on - they have dust covers and look like some sort of pmag clone:

Anyone know what they're called and if they're any good??

Why would you even consider a magazine with no specs or manufacturer at all when you can get USGI aluminum mags for 20.00 each?

Not considering it necessarily, just wondering what the hell they are. I thought I had seen it all... I'm actually good on mags... Until they start selling 30 round Lancers at regular price again...

EDIT: After doing more research, I've learned that they're of Korean manufacture... that's all the info I can find... Maybe I should buy some to load with PMC to shoot through my Daewoo... :D

I haven't looked in a couple of days but where can you find 'em for $20? Last ones I saw in stock were at CTD for $100... & they're used. :what:

G&R has 20 rounders for $27. Other than that, I didn't see any.

I saw some very similar to that at Cabelas yesterday. Looked like Pmag clones but they didn't have any markings on them anywhere. Priced at $30 and I didn't see a single person grab one while I was there.

Crappy mags ALWAYS pop up at times like this. Saw it happen in '94, too. Looks somewhat like a Magpul wannabee, save for the chicken pox on it. :rolleyes:

Something I've learned over the years is that when a manufacturer's name is a generic name that cannot be used to effectively search for their product(s), is missing or even hidden, it is best to pass on their product(s).

My local gun shop got a crap ton of these in. They feel too light to me, feel really cheap. The hands on I've had with them I was not impressed. I have a High Standard lower receiver. The magazines do NOT fall free, in fact it takes a good amount of force to remove them from the mag well. The "covers" for the top of the magazine are so flimsy you can literally twist them and they wont break. Ill do a write up of one if there is sufficient interest in me doing one. PM or post here if you want me to, Ill go and get one tomorrow and do a write up.

I would avoid these mags. They sound pretty crappy to me

Funny you mention that they don't drop free. LGS has tub full of 'em and has it labeled "non free dropping" mags.

The top of these magazines and the base plates are identical to the latest incarnation of Command Arms Accessories magazines as the contain the same casting marks and labeling. They do not represent much of a value as they are much more than a comparable P-MAG. CAA stuff has always been synonymous with crap although I am sure someone is going to pipe about how the IMI is buying CAA mags now. If the old Orlite mags are any indication, the magazine used by the Israelis shouldn't be guiding anyone's purchase decisions.

I bought one from a local gun store for a much more attractive price. range mag at best. they don't drop free from any of my lowers, spikes, DD, or larue. they are very thin/light feeling. not the feel of magpul or troy.

The one I bought I put about 100 rounds through it and it did function fine for all of them. much better out there even in these times for better prices.

Well, they look cool... Thought maybe they could some kind of pmag produced for the Korean army or something... Not dropping free is a pretty big deal to me and that price is outrageous. If they were $5 a pop or less like the Thermolds used to go for, I'd easily buy 10 just to tinker with.

$5 would be a much different story. They'd be worth screwing with, using as range mags.

It seems as though the $29.99 price is all over the web. does not matter who is selling. I have seen them called red white blue but no markings on any packaging I have seen. Local gun shop has sold quite a few but have not heard any comments. They are described to be a pmag clone. Not sure I would spend $$ on them

Great, something else to avoid. I would imagine it probably won't hurt the sale of legitimate products, being garbage magazines and all. Oops, I mean "clips".
