Great Mags, Shipped Fast TooThese are gtg right out of the package. I've been looking for affordable metric pattern mags that actually work and these deliver. Keepshooting had em to my door in like 2 days which was nice. No FTF or FTE through 60 rds of surplus ammo.
Functions flawlessly with surplus ammo
Now you guys need to make a 30rd!

No issues!Been running this mag through my DSA FAL and it hasnt given me a single problem. Feeds smooth every time, locks in solid, no wobble or anything. Honestly better quality then I expected for the price. Customer service was also real helpful when I had a question about compatability before ordering. Going to get a few more before they go out of stock!
Nice freaking mags
Wish it came in a 2-pack

Where have these been?I was honestly tired of playing the used surplus mag lottery so I took a shot on these and man I am glad I did. Dropped it in my DSA and it seated with no play whatsoever, which if youve owned a FAL you know thats not always how it goes with aftermarket stuff. The bolt hold open follower works great too, always nice when your gun locks back on empty instead of leaving you guessing. Only real gripe is I wish the outside finish was just a little bit more polished looking but functionally I got ZERO complaints. Gonna buy a few more for sure.
Bolt-hold-open follower works reliably,Steel construction feels durable and service-grade
Exterior finish is a bit plain looking,FAL mag fitment can still vary depending on your specific lower receiver

None of that cheap import crap!!Ive been running FALs for going on 15 years now and the magazine situation has been... rough, to put it mildly. Surplus mags are drying up, the DSA steel mags were honestly junk (feed lips were inconsistent on 2 out of 3 I bought), and the DSA polymer mags just don't have the right feel on a classic battle rifle imo. So when I saw United Defense was doing new-production steel metric mags for under $35 I grabbed four of them. Build quality is solid steel body, steel follower, steel spring, witness holes on the side so you can do a quick round count without dropping the mag. The parkerized finish is even and uniform across all four, which is more than I can say for some surplus Israeli mags I've gotten from PSA. Feed lips are cleanly machined and consistent mag to mag. One minor gripe: the first mag I inserted didn't give me that satisfying "click" when I rocked it it had to reseat it once. After that it was fine every time. Ran 80 rounds of Federal American Eagle 149gr through two of the mags with zero malfunctions. They also lock up tight with no wobble in my DSA SA58 receiver.
Under $35 is a steal compared to surplus prices
Initial insertion didn't click on one mag...needed a re-seat

Finally!I've got a safe full of original FN, Austrian, and Israeli steel mags that I baby because they're getting harder to replace. When I saw these United Defense mags hit the market I was skeptical - we've all been burned by DSA's 'improved' feed lips that messed with 70-year-old geometry that didn't need fixing. Took a chance on three of these and honestly I'm impressed. The witness holes are properly positioned, the parkerizing is a shade grayer than my Steyr originals (which actually helps me keep them sorted), and the follower engages the bolt hold-open every single time. These feed exactly like my factory milsurp mags - no wobble, no tilting, no brass drag marks on the feed lips. At under $35 vs the $50-90 people want for decent surplus these are a no-brainer. Got four more on order.
Feed lip geometry matches milspec perfectly
Bolt hold-open works every time
Parkerizing looks authentic and wears naturally
