At a price of 14.95 I'd say it was worth finding out for yourself.

True enough.
I'm not overly concerned about the 42 or so dollars I have in this investment.
Just kind of felt like someone pissed in my cornflakes when I read some of the comments on them.

Had way more in my cart at first and then backed off to try a couple.

We shall see.

Crap. Now I find another thread claiming these mags are junk.
What say you grumpy?

I've been running them myself. As with any makers mags, I always take them apart, clean the interior good, check the bend on the follower legs (have had a couple the I bent inwards a bit as they were dragging on the mag body fairly good, and then when I reassembly I always use a skinny long bladed screwdriver to make sure that I have the spring coils above the dimple in the body. I have had no issues with any of the mags I have run. You might find they are a little stiff on insertion as well, but working them in and out a few time (stay on track here fellas), slicks up the Parkerizing and makes it nice very quickly.
 
I got a few of these and you definitely need to take them apart and fix the springs. 1 out of the five was usable out of the box the other 4 had to be adjusted to get the springs right over the crimping for the 5 round limit. Once done they function fine a bit snug fit but a quick sanding of the domino thingy can solve this problem.

These hold bullets and put them into the gun

They're a little rough going in and coming out at first, but after a while they smooth out. The followers jam up a little bit sometime too.

That being said, I bought 4. Cheaper than AR mags!
 
My M14 mags go in very tight but don't lock into place. I've tried being gentle, tried giving them a respectable slap, made sure I'm at the right angle...

My old mags fit in and lock into place easily, and even have a slight jiggle. Then they pop out easy when I hit the mag release.

Feels like maybe the follower needs to be ground down because it's hitting the slide stop mechanism so it can't get high enough for the catch to lock it in. Is this a common issue?
