While bushmaster Mags do seem to be good quality, they don't appear to be the same as my D&H mags.
PMags are combat proven and will serve you well. I'm in the process of getting a few more myself.

I have found that USGI mags seem to fit in my Eagle FB mag pouch better than P-mags (But I do insist on magpul followers)
Am I the only person who has found that it is harder to doa tac reload with PMAGs than aluminum mags. Don't get me wrong, PMAGS are great and probably more durable than regular GI mags, but I noticed this issue with them.
My Bushmaster mag.(I only own one) Has not given me an issue. It says BFI, Windham,ME With the snake logo. on the floorplate. It has a grey follower marked 5.56. Hmm... I use Lancers frequently, I like them so far. I have never had an issue with the GI mags I carried in Iraq. I did make a point of inspecting them thoroughly before carrying them, as I had seen some of the grunts dissassembling them and "Stretching" the springs. $9.99 @ Bravo sounds like a good deal to me. Go for it. My local retailer tries to rape folks by charging 25 for GI mags.
Would someone be kind enough to enlighten me as to the issues with C Products mags? I have never bought any (I am a GI contract mag kind of guy), but I have 40 or 50 new C Products mags sitting in a box from a prior trade. Many thanks in advance.
From my personal experience, I had 10 new CProds at one point, purchased about 21/2 to 3 years ago. 2 of 10 would not drop free. Most could not be inserted with the bolt forward without considerable effort. Many would induce a double feed or fail to cycle a round into the chamber, due to insufficient spring tension. Someone did a comparison of them and the Cprods springs were significantly shorter than the other half dozen or so mags compared. Maybe current production is GTG, but many have experienced the same thing. I'd check every one to see if they will drop free and see if they can be inserted with the bcg forward. Other than that, be prepared to rebuild them if that start to malfunction. OR sell them at gunbroker, a gunshow, since they are new or sell them on BARFCOM. Someone over there should snap them up, then buy 50 mags from Bravo Company, with magpul followers for $9.99.
