Thermold

Were Canadian Forces issue. Originally intended to be disposable. Problems with the feed lips cracking and when shooting blanks and lots of "Rock 'n Roll" the lips could start to melt, resulting in the derogatory nickname: "Thermelt"
If you want 20 round polymer/plastic magazines, go pick up some 20 round Magpul P-Mags. 1000% better magazine than the Thermold.

I can't speak with experience about the 20's. I used the 30 rounders years ago when you could load 30, never had a failure to feed or eject, through thousands of rounds. The GI 30's available at the time were not as reliable. The plastic was very tough and did not melt, in fact is hardly showed wear. The only down side was they were a bit snug in the mag well.
