NTA but it's nice seeing fresh images I haven't seen before (or haven't seen in years if I have) in high quality.

They look good from a distance but up close look bad if you look at it for more than 5 seconds. They use the KCI followers with the funny rubber piece on them. The paint looks good from about 2 feet away; the color is weirdly just off enough to notice and the grain is almost too fine and sparse, not to mention zero depth. Also they use stupidly thin metal baseplates in a weirdly eggshell/satin finish instead of the low gloss of a real thicker mag baseplate (compared to my East German 5.45). The whole thing smells like a semi-quality Chinese airsoft knockoff; looks good from afar. It's a shame because when I saw them at a local store I thought they looked really good until I got closer and took a minute to examine one. I also doubt they use metal reinforcing like the real bake mags but I could be wrong. What someone REALLY needs to do at a magazine manufacturing company is research how to use multiple colors of plastic in an injection mold to swirl colors of nylon pellets and mold magazines with multiple carefully selected pellet colors. This is NOT a hard thing to do as Remington was doing it in 1959 (nylon), Stevens was doing it with Tenite in the late 30s/early 40s, and Daisy had done it through the 90s (nylon?). It isn't something that has been forgotten nor was it something so technical and difficult it took forever to get it ready for use in production. I would buy a couple at the least. Make some 20s too.
