They have just the magazine or a tactical one that already has a better spring, follower, and mag pul on the bottom. The price works it self out about right and your ready to go right out of the box. They are made here in the U.S. and Brownells is a reliable company to do buisness with. They are very military and law enforcement friendly and donate to a lot of military and police memorial charities. Plus they have one price shipping, so no matter how much you order its still one set price. I usually put in a large order once a year to get the most bang for my buck so to speak. Here are a few links for maintance of your magazines http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=10351/GunTechdetail/Brownells-AR-15-M-16-Magazine-Maintenance Replacing the spring and follower http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=10362...wer-Replacement And on the magazines themselves http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/lid=13221/GunTechdetail/Brownells_AR_15_M16_Magazine_Test good luck. RUN FROM THE BROWNELLS MAGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Have seen so many of those fail it is absurd! I am a part-time gunsmith and I swear by everything else I have bought from Brownells, which is a ton of stuff. However, I am a full time firearms instructor, and have seen an amazing amount of these mags fail! I had 4 fail me that I bought myself. The feed lips started to crack after three weeks of daily use. Unacceptable JYD#149 If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy.

Sold most of my pmags, went back to usgi. Like knives prefer to metal to plastic. Actually just a preferential thing. Didn't hate pmags just like usgi mags better JYD #150 meluckpup

I've tried multiple magazines in multiple rifles, and all the 20 rounders do the same thing. Never had an issue with the 30 round versions though. Also, for a standard metal mag, Brownell's makes a nice one. I don't have any issues with those either. JYD #157
