    I've had problems with some 20 round NHMTGs. I've also for some newer D&H magazines that work fine. About the only mags I've used that sucked were 9 round Colt magazines, C-Products, TAPCO and other cheap plastic magazines. Also had issues with Gen 2 PMags and 20-round PMags with limiter installed for hunting.

    Overall, most new mags are pretty nice. I've bought several $7 D&H mags and will probably buy more.

    Priced dropped on D&H, buy them or pay more for nhmtg?

    I have purchased about a dozen of the d&h mags from psa since mag prices dropped and they have been fairly reliable. However the Nhmtg mags I have (purchased from 44mag) have been flawless and feel more robust. My two cents.

    I've bought about 40 D&H mags with magpul folowers fro BCM over the past 3 years. Bunch of rounds through about 10 of the D&H mags and have had no issues whatsoever.

    I haven't purchased any mags for a couple years. However, I have a lot of them and I've found the D&H mags with the Magpul followers to work flawlessly. I will tell you that the D&H with green followers I bought early on were not as good, but not BAD.

    NHMTG - They feel sturdier, but function the same as D&H. I held off buying NHMTG because I wanted mags that came with Magpul followers. But the last bunch I bought had Magpul followers and they are beautiful. I don't know if NHMTG uses a better quality of aluminum or what, but they feel sturdier which makes me feel like the feed lips might last longer. But this is just speculation as I have had not problems with D&H or NHMTG

    I went back and tried to retrofit Magpul followers into my older D&H mags with green followers with mixed luck. The reason is that the green follower mags were not finished as cleanly internally as the D&H mags with Magpul followers. So, the Magpul followers would hang up in a few of the old D&H green follower mags.

    I've also had experience with CProducts, and ASC and of course Magpul. Magpul is great. CProducts and ASC are not good. Yes, the CProducts springs kept in doors and unused began to rust. And I'm not talking mild. I'm talking comes off on your hands and stains plastic rust. ASC is not to hot either, some oif the ones I bought were stamped incorrectly around the mag release notch and for some reason would over insert.

    Stay with the D&H and NHMTG if your going to buy aluminum GI mags.

    I bought a couple 10-packs of the battleship gray D&H mags from BCM almost 2 years ago and the 3 I put into rotation have been nothing but perfect. I wouldn't hesitate to add more to the stash at the right price. I've grown to like the gray color as well. Now that I think about it, they're the only non-polymer magazine in my training rotation.

    I'm not sure how to validate this since the last dozen or so NHMTGs I picked up from 44mag.com had no cage code.

    Unless something changed recently, NHMTG, Okay, and Colt were all the same mags.

    I prefer NHMTG over D&H anyday...

    The gray is addicting. I've been adding M plates in OD green to mine.

    I won't buy D&H mags again. I got 7 of them for $7 each from PSA back in 2012 -- they were the FDE colored ones with Magpul followers. I left 6 of them in mag pouches on a belt rig in the trunk of my car for several hours on a 90 degree day. When I went to pull a mag out, all 3 that were in the pouch came out together. The paint on the mags had melted and become soft, and stuck the mags together. The same thing had happened to the other 3 mags that were in the other pouch. I contacted D&H and they refused to do anything about it. I contacted PSA, and they wouldn't warranty another manufacturer's product, and wouldn't accept a return since the products were damaged , but they did send me a free FDE Pmag for my troubles. I sold the D&H mags at a loss and bought more Pmags.

    These mags could have just been part of a defective batch, or the defect may be limited only to ones with certain types or colors of paint; but I am not going to waste any more time or money on them now that I know they won't stand behind their product when they are defective. Here are some pics of the mags. You can see the spots where the paint melted and bubbled, where the mags stuck together, and even where the nylon weave pattern from the mag pouches imprinted in the paint.
