Picked these up from Bulls Eye London (nice, fast service!) and they work great in the Tavor; easy loading/feeding/ejection. A bit pricier than some other options, but wanted a couple to try out, again works great so that's fine by me.

Aren't these just remanufactured 20 rounders? The ones where the spot welds are drilled out and the bodies are epoxied back together.

Edit: Holy crap, they're selling them for $63?

I just missed out on the $26 version another sponsor had up...damnit LOL. It's the price to pay to play unless you get lucky it seems.

Mind posting a pic of them in the rifle?

Sure, here ya go, also shown with the stock pinned 30rd mag, and a 10rd pistol mag....

Just a quick update on the ODEL version; put a couple hundred rounds though the Tavor today, using the Beowulf mags for 90% of it with zero issues I'm glad to see.
 
Ahh, I have one of the "others" by the looks of it. Seems identicle other than color

looking at bullseye London pics there seems to me some white stuff where the weld spots usually are, did they really drilled out and epoxied the mags back together? That sounds very weird to me. I've got a 5/10 AA mag with an epoxied floor plate and I don't love it for that reason.

I'll have to take a look
 
Can't help with the "other" comparison, these are the first Beowulf mags of any kind I've owned or tried. And again, whatever their genesis, they work great - will see how they hold up in the long run.
 
I might try to trade my AA for these, two for three comes up to the same price... that maple leaf would match the one on my lower :)

I don't see any epoxy on mine. Spot welds look intact.

Only interesting point is 5.56 ground off the follower lol

I'm guessing yours are C-Products mags then? Never any question there whether those ones were "manufactured" or "remanufactured" for .50 beo. I would love to get some of the C-Products ones recently imported by a couple of retailers, but the rebranded 5.56 mags are a no-go for me.
 
lol that is indeed "interesting", thanks for the info.
I'll definitely give them a try; my AA 5/10 has an epoxied floor plate which I just dislike and my 5/7 is tight in my SA20 lower for some reason... so are PMAGS m2, all are fine in my ACR.

the c products even drop free from a tight T97 magwell so shouldn't be an issue
