But they are fairly lightly constructed and are not likely to stand up to continued use. I can't imagine one doing well if full and dropped on concrete.

The second version is a steel magazine. I believe it is made by E-Lander. It has the waffle pattern but it isn't as deep as the aluminum version. Anyway, this is probably the mag I would go with if I wanted dedicated metal mags for whatever reason. They are fairly inexpensive, seem durable and have worked fine in a couple different 308 pattern ARs.
