Nice to see some good old fashioned steel mags again - Global Ordnance AR15 5.56/.223 30 Round Rifle Magazine

On the day I bought this I was looking at my extra mag supplies for the ar15 platform, and I noticed they were all plastic. I like the look, feel, and ruggedness provided by the steel mags more personally, and I’d kinda forgotten that until that day. I personally do not know if the polymer (plastic) versions are any less structurally sound, but logically I would think the steel would be stronger. I could be completely wrong. I have some in carbon fiber that are supposed to be super strong. All I know is I like storing mags full, and that plastic is malleable, and I worry about the feed lips having that constant pressure on them for a long period of time. They may be better than steel. I don’t know. I just personally feel better about storing loaded steel mags rather than polymers ones. I don’t think they specify on the website, but the ones I got came from South Korea, and seemed to be as good of quality as US, or Russian military mags.
