I sold two to a buddy after I sold my first MWS for $50 each-STUPID. I'm finally back up to 2 that I run and 5 in my stash. And I dump my 2 in a bag full a suppressors, others mags and a spotting scope to take to the hide every weekend. And they show no signs of wear, and have not died yet.Quote:

What is the clipped version vs the old style.Quote:

To get those off you have to pry the base edge away from the body, then slide it off. Used older mags I bought were serviceable but had noticeable wear on the punched tabs.
https://www.operationparts.com/magazines/ second row shows the two different floor plates and the insert.
EDIT: correct terminology and older magazine reference to 30 round. 20 rounds have that metal locking tab that locks the floor plate.
I checked mine and all mine are the newer version. I also noticed how the D&H mags are the older style. Its amazing how they copied the KAC mag. I wonder if that is patent infringement. Or if mags fall in the AR dept and anything goes?

Unless KAC has an actual patent on something to do with the magazine, it can be identical.
I grabbed 5 more D&H mags for a rainy day, to stuff in my mag stash.
