I'd much rather by 3 new and current issue GI aluminum mags for about the same money as one of those.....

Just because its all steel doesnt mean its good.

IIRC the Tavor utilizes the standard M-16 magazine, so these don't appear to be anything special for what SG is charging.

What will it do that a Pmag, Lancer, or ARC will not do for half the price?

Also consider SG's somewhat dodgy reputation in the past regarding the misrepresentation of their products (corrosive ammo sold as non corrosive, etc). These mags could be from Senegal for all we know.

Not to mention all of the above are lighter and more corrosion resistant, and you can drop them and not feel bad about it.

Correct.

Even assuming SG is telling the truth of its origins, Tavor magazines are just the same spec as M16 magazines.

They aren't special or different.

As I understand it, they are an IWI version of the HK 416 magazine and are made to be STANG compatiable....

IWI 5.56mm 30rd Magazines


AR-15 M16 M4 AR15 IWI Black Steel Tactical Combat 30 Round Magazine H&K Type AR15 mag uses the Black Steel Body common to the H&K Elite mags.

Newly designed, 30-round magazine features a strong steel body built to handle the roughest combat and tactical operations.

Precision manufactured to ISO 9001:2000 quality management standards to exceed DoD specs for USGI magazines.

Advanced features include a tilt-resistant follower and stainless steel spring that ensure even pressure on the round stack for smooth, jam-free feeding. Two-part floorplate with integral lanyard loop removes easily without tools for cleaning and maintenance; floorplate and follower are designed so they can’t be reinstalled the wrong way.

Fits minimum-dimension magwells and guaranteed to drop free from mil-spec magwells under its own weight, even when empty. Fits any mag pouch designed to hold standard USGI-spec magazines.

Body is precision formed on an 18-stage progressive die system from a 021" thick 1050 sheet steel and robotically welded for strength and dimensional consistency. Crush resistant to 1,000 lbs. (500 lbs. side load) fully loaded, and impact tested to withstand dropping 1.5m onto a flat concrete surface.

Function tested to ensure operation at temperatures from –67°F to +329°F. Body is nitride heat-treated to Rc 60 surface hardness, then pickled to remove the oxide layer before application of the heavy duty manganese phosphate Parkerized finish (MIL-DTL-16232G Type M) for maximum abrasion resistance. After nitride hardening, floorplate, and retainer receive a dry-lube-impregnated powder coating to aid in smooth follower movement.

Both finishes resist continuous salt fog exposure for 96 hours without developing corrosion, and also resist bore cleaners, solvents, oils, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic fluid, insect repellents (including DEET), and other harsh chemicals likely to be encountered in a military environment. SPECS: 1050 steel, Parkerized/powder coated, matte dark black, with 17-7 stainless steel spring.

5.8 oz. (165g) weight empty. Fits AR-15/M16/M4 and clones chambered for .223/5.56mm. 30-round capacity.
