Is that the store? or a country LOL

I thought they welded thier mags or riveted

Those look like Norcs. Could be wrong but I haven't seen any other mags with the elongated foot.

Durham Outdoors sold those currently.

Those came from Mar*tar as they just riveted full 20 round mags left over from the U.S. market.

That used to be the type of Norinco mags that Marstar imported.... long fin, never welded or riveted.

I don’t know why you would want the floor plate welded in anycase, all that does is make it impossible to disassemble and clean the magazine and it looks silly....

Personally, finding out a magazine like that is welded is a deal breaker for me....

Thanks is guys, I now think I know why I cannot find anymore like this, they started to tackcweld the bottoms, to be honest if I can get floor plates I'd cut the welds, I like the long find on them, keeps the body pristine, that and seems to last longer haha

Durham Outdoors has a bunch of long foot follower mags with no welds. Probably the best bang for your buck.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought by law the mag body had to be riveted or crimped to be legal or else they were prohibited
