There are a lot of options if you’re in the market for a retro AR-15 clone, like Brownells’ Retro line, but it’s almost impossible to source the original-style 20 round waffle stamped steel magazines. Brownells wanted to offer the whole experience, so they made their own.
Externally, these look like the original magazines thanks to magazine body & floorplate made exclusively for Brownells by Nodak Spud, but the internals (follower and spring) are from Brownells USGI 20rd aluminum magazines, making them much more reliable.

This is pretty sweet
Pretty cool. Wish these had an aluminum follower though.
Sale of $35 seems steep to me. Am I wrong?
Yeah man that’s high but I’m guessing as they probably are too that most won’t buy more than one or two for the retro build as a showpiece.
wait till you try to buy ar mags in canada, that mag is going to be $50-$75
Beautiful.
