    USGI mags: Okay and Center Industries

    Are these two brands of mags pretty much comparable or is one more desirable over the other?

    Center was kind of slipping. I've had some sloppy, but functional Centers. Okay is the gold standard.

    Yeah, Center released a lot of mags with sloppy welds and poor fit between the panel ends. I've never had a center not work because of it...but some do look damn ugly. As Mark said, Okay is GTG.

    Also had great luck with Brownells USGI mags.

    I took my 3 ugliest Center and ran them as Range mags for a long time. Never a problem, but yeah.. terrible looking seam joints.

    I'm lucky to have about 50 Okay mags. Certainly my favorite USGI mag.

    NHMTG mags are good.

    Okay is the same as NHMTG. You can actually see "NHMTG" on the magazines used in the marketing images on the Okay Industries website.

    Center has to be some of the worst magazines produced in the past 20 years.

    I have maybe a dozen center magazines that will not accept magpul replacement followers. Even their own factory followers stick, while my okay magazines have never had a problem.

    I ended up putting all of my center magazines in a large ziplock bag and writing "retired magazines" on the outside of the bag. Those retired centers were replaced with pmags.
