Great price!These seem to be very sturdy, especially for the price! But, the magazines have to be fitted to my rifle to latch either reliably or at all. It takes very little time and
Great construction
Needing to be fitted to latch, though this could be due to the tolerances of my rifle, of course!

Excellent magazine and combat level reliable alternative to GI surplus (if you can ever find them) and SA factory mags at a great price!These are without a doubt a cost-effective alternative to SA factory mags. They are excellent, no-frills magazines, with mispec grade finish and function. These are combat level reliability unlike some of the other aftermarket mags.
these are made to Taiwanese military spec, which is a copy of the US milspec for m-14 magazines for use in their T58 rifles. Great price and comparable in quality to Chess Mate, and SA factory mags and a better price. Far superior to pro mag, and SCI. Have severely mistreated these along with my old GI surplus mags and never had a hiccup or failure on the magazines part to function and feed.
You can only order 5 at a time, but to be fair this is so everyone has a chance to get them! only other disadvantage is that they are not always available due to supply and demand, etc.

Solid cost to benefit ratio with these magsI have used a variety of brand magazines for my M1A Scout, these are 2nd best. Which means they are probably worth it for the price you pay, let me elaborate why they aren't 1st. Having used Check Mate Industries (CMI) and Springfield Armory (SA), they are tied for 1st place in terms of quality/function/reliability. These T57 (Taiwan/ROC production) are definitely worth the price because they do feed reliably, but they don't always lock the bolt open on the last round. This is partly because the tab on the follower that pushes the bolt-catch isn't quite flared out as much as the CMI/SA followers. From my sample size of 5 (T57) mags, I'd say about 80% of the time they lock open just fine. Not a huge problem, but just something I've encountered. They do feed and feed reliably though, which is of course the primary function of a magazine. One other thing to note, is the bottom plate that holds the spring/follower assembly in did require me to take a flat-blade screwdriver and tap the little disassembly-tab in. While firing one of the mags, the floor plate slid out just a little (1/2" maybe). Because the tab just wasn't seated into the magazine quite enough, really not a big deal. But I went through all 5 mags and just tapped them in just a tad to make sure nothing ever happens again. Which when I compared this to all of my CMI/SA mags, their tabs were pushed in just a little bit more. Hence never having this problem surface with them. Some people note the finish is more blued steel vs parkerized, I think either finish looks good honestly. If you're a 'pureist' and want it to look as close to USGI as possible, then this might bother you... Last of all I would steer clear of Pro-Mag brand M1A magazines, they are not reliable in any way from my experience. Had about 8 of them at one time, none of them were any good. I did the world a favor and removed them from the gene-pool. I don't think it's ethical to sell sub-par items to inexperienced people, like I was many years ago when I first purchased my M1A. I literally just assumed having several jams per-mag is just the 'norm'... Until I learned about CMI (which is basically synonymous with SA since they are the same manufacturer). In summary: CMI/SA is tied for 1st place T57 is a solid 2nd place No jams/FTF or any issues with any of these 3 brands (CMI/SA/T57).
Low cost and reliable feeding, looks good too.
Occasionally fails to lock open on last round. Also, floor plate may need a little 'encouragement' to be certain it stays locked in.

Mil-Spec Means Mil-Spec With TheseLet me give some context here for anyone who doesn't know. The Republic of China (Taiwan) adopted the T57 rifle which is essentially a license-produced M14 back in the mid-1960s as their standard battle rifle, and it served in that role for decades. These aren't some commercial aftermarket company stamping out parts in a garage, these are current military production magazines manufactured to the original U.S. technical data package specs for an army that still maintains M14-pattern rifles in inventory. That distinction matters enormously in the M14 world because this platform is notoriously picky about magazine fit. I've been running these in my Polytech M14S, my M1A Loaded, and a friend's Norinco and they run flawlessly across all three rifles. The body dimensions are dead on, the feed lips are properly formed and consistent mag to mag, and the 301 stainless springs give excellent tension. At $17.95 this is genuinely one of the best deals in the M14 market right now. For comparison, decent condition USGI surplus mags from contractors like BRW or HRT are going for $35-50 at gun shows and most of those have tired springs and worn followers. These are brand new with full-strength springs. The only thing keeping old USGI mags relevant at this point is collector value and nostalgia for a working rifle these Taiwanese mags are equal or better. I bought ten and I regret not buying twenty.
military contract production to original USGI spec not a commercial clone!
Blued steel body, follower, and floor plate are all steel no plastic or MIM parts anywhere!Bluing will patina and show wear quicker than parkerized USGI mags, especially with regular handling
