csspecs 1,987 Posted November 29, 2012 Report Share Posted November 29, 2012 High standard is only the importer. Those are likely Romanian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
onehappycampster 25 Posted November 30, 2012 Report Share Posted November 30, 2012 Metal mags usually don't lock in as rock solid as new poly mags. There is usually some play and rattle. Of course they're heavier as well but usually well made. Near destructable. The price looks great. Let us know how they work for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigChongus 765 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 Looks like a Tantal mag that's been parkerized. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Red Star 38 Posted December 4, 2012 Report Share Posted December 4, 2012 I just ordered 3 of them. I have two tantal mags at home that i painted black, so when they come in I will do a comparison. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How does it fit in your rifle and what type of rifle do you have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How does it fit in your rifle and what type of rifle do you have? saiga 5.45, clicked in real easy. a little side wobble not much tho, but no forwards and back movement. bump fired from the hip ran 100%. good mags IMHO.

Red Star 38 Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 The mags came in yesterday, and they are identical to the tantals that I already have. Some minor surface rust, but it wiped off with a rag and some balistol. The followers squeak a bit, but I havent disassembled them for cleaning yet. Good, solid mags.
