    I am returning these.
    I've fixed a dozen of those. If you trim the follower edges.. ususally the front ones... you can get them to work great... but I totally understand just sending them back.

    There early ones were suspicously like c product mags.

    The current production ones are bulged out and the floor plate is only half way held on. Every recent mag I looked at scheels last week were like this. Total ****ing garbage.
    I believe the older ones were indeed made by Cprod. The current mags aren't that much better.

    What I can't understand is why Brownells is selling the USGI type with the green follower for the price they are ($14 for a single) when you can get a D&H with Magpul follower for under ten bucks now in other colors than the standard gray. Of course, D&H has a few issues as well since I've had to trim a couple of the followers myself. Chalked it up to production above and beyond the call after December and figured a few were going to get missed in the rush to fill shelves. But with a significant price difference between the two, it makes sense to go cheaper.

    I like Brownells, but not sure if spending another five bucks a mag then turning around to spend another two bucks to upgrade the follower makes good financial sense.

    DH mags are not USGI.

    Has the FBI stretched the interstate commerce clause to cover the middle east now?

    Never insinuated they were.

    Regarding the contract for Center Industries, the contract notice page at defense.gov stated that "one bid was solicited, with one bid received". Does that mean that Center Industries was the only preferred vendor?
