    Anybody ever seen or bought any mags like these? There are no markings anywhere on the exterior, they look, feel, smell and taste like USGI mags but I just don't know the manufacturer. There are no spot welds visible on the seem but they really LOOK like quality mags. Anybody?

    Thanks a million John. When I googled the number it came up blank, but that really not surprising considering my cyberskills.

    Anyhow I shot them an inquiring email. Fourty bucks a pop and out of stock I'm betting they're GI.

    If it is GI there should be some Manfur. marking on the back end, there are a lot of canaf. being put out. It has been put in a packing that is not GI. Just my 2 cents jj

    Yea, I thought that too, that's exactly why I'm asking. They sure are 10 fold better quality than any import I've run across. I'm hoping the company will respond.

    BTW, I was up in your neck of the woods today. We buried my mother in law in Dixonville. Stay off Hwy 89 until they finish repaving.

    It looks like a CMI check mate industries packaged . They get packaged up under different names but are the usgi manufacturer. They are the OEM for many other licensed named mags. for these go to 44mag.com they usually always have them

    There are no markings anywhere on the mags, Checkmates are marked. Also the "308" on the label makes me think import. They were sold to me as USGI but I have my doubts. But they really do look and feel quality, not at all like the imports I've seen in the past.
