cadurs0 0 Posted July 9, 2014 I got a couple of them... they are okay. Good quality, but they are actually blocked 20 round mags - I was hoping for actual 15 round sized mags without pinning or blocking. They also will not load on a closed bolt.

MartyZ 691 Posted July 9, 2014 Ok, thanks. I don't want blocked magazines, still looking for natural 15 rounders. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lien 1 Posted July 9, 2014 I have a few of those and they work without problems. I do wish for some natural 15rd mags as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BMWR12 35 Posted July 9, 2014 There are good mags and are the right magazine profile for an a1 rifle. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted July 9, 2014 Read some of their reviews. Some mention weld probs. Best bet is read all the review and come to a conclusion. Not like they are high priced. I still prefer pmags though... Sent from my iPhone using TT 2 Pro Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cadurs0 0 Posted July 9, 2014 As far as taking out the blocks, I haven't been able to get the bottom plates off. Don't know if they are welded on or if I'm just to afraid/weak to really force them off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svt3183 14 Posted July 9, 2014 For those wanting natural 15 rounders, see my post here from a few days ago about D&H mags at wideners for $12. I am pretty sure they have shorter 15 round bodies and can confirm when my order comes, unless someone can confirm sooner. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sticky Grips 4 Posted July 9, 2014 The body has a crimp on them that's a hard stop at 15. Its hard to insert on a closed bolt. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scorpio64 5,120 Posted July 9, 2014 They are blocked 20 rd mags with the A1 profile as mentioned above. I like this better because of two reasons. 1) I like the classic look and 2) you dont have to wang the spring all the way down to get all 15 rds in, I like that there is some slack in the spring. The problem with welds were not on the 15 rd mags and it was addressed a while ago. I do not recall seeing any complaints about welds on the 10 or 5 rd mags recently. If you prefer pmags then you probably won't like these, but they do work just fine and they load in my rifle on a closed bolt no problem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph675 4 Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks guys! I have been looking forever for 15rd versions of original GI 20rd mags. Will post photos with my Colt 605 reproduction when they arrive! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
svt3183 14 Posted July 12, 2014 got my D&H mags today and confirmed they are natural 15 rounders. Pic below is them in the middle, a 20 rd body on top, and 10 rounder bottom. these have to be the best 15 rd mag deal going at $12 a pop. https://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100001592 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
