Then I loaded it up and did a few drops with no problems. After that I did a few drop tests on concrete standing with the magazine empty with no problems at all. I then loaded and unloaded the magazine a few more times with no problem. All the rounds fed and ejected with no hiccups or problems. I actuated the rifle till all 20 rounds were removed from the magazine. The magazine could be inserted with the bolt of the rifle closed.

Inserting the magazine and removing it a few times was just as easy as any top dollar magazine. The feed lips did not want to bend and I could not bend them with my hand like the cheap crap magazines do. Each round made a nice tactile thud into place as the CMI magazines do. I loaded 20 rounds into the magazine and it held no more than 20. The welds on the magazine look well done as well. I did a tap test on the side of the magazine and the steel used sounds solid and the same sound as the CMI magazine. It would be better if it was parkerizing but in the end it matches my all black mk14 better anyway. The magazines are coated in a Teflon coating that is nice even and dark and also appears to be tough. The first thing I noticed was there was grease or oil on the follower. Upon arrival they were packaged well and individually wrapped. But I saw the reviews were good on these magazines so I bought 2. Or in other words if you don't use Springfield Armory or Checkmate magazines then they wont work and will just be a waste of money. I was a little leery purchasing these because everyone who is an M1a owner knows that if you skimp out on magazines they do not work. I think they represent an outstanding value and highly recommend them. These magazines look good cosmetically, are well made, function flawlessly, and are very reasonably priced. They didn't rattle and they worked no matter how the mag was manipulated. The magazines did have some small amount of play. In fact I expected it and I've seen far worse with much more expensive magazines on other rifles. The ejected rounds had some marks on them but NO gouges. This isn't an uncommon occurrence for bolt guns. However, the bolt had to be worked briskly which isn't necessarily bad. At first I could only get 19 rounds to load but after a couple of cycles I managed to get number 20 into the magazine with little effort.Īll 20 rounds cycled through the action with no failures. Then, I loaded the mag to capacity for a cycle test through the action. It inserted into the MVP Scout mag well easily and clicked into place with authority. Honestly, I've never found any magazine that didn't need a little smoothing. There were a few sharp edges that I removed easily. I disassembled one completely, cleaned it well, reassembled it, and started testing.įirst I checked for burrs and sharp edges. As noted before, each mag was individually packaged with a light grease coating.

I was a little suspicious of foreign make magazines until I got them. My need is somewhat different than most except for the guy who also purchased these mags for a MVP Scout. I read all of the reviews before ordering these mags. I'm happy with these mags will be buying plenty more i just wished you had them in a 15 round mag i prefer those but 20 rounds mags at this price is fine Thanks David. The mags do need taken a part and get all the grease and oil out of them mine had a lot in it lucky i was curious to know how well these mags where built so i took it apart it's built like it should be the spring & follower is just like the 50.00 each SA mags. I put over a 1000 rounds thru the two T57 Mags i bought just see how they would perform i did not have one malfunction from the mags or the rifle so i say they are GREAT MAGS and a GREAT FIREARM the M1A. I think these T57 mags is the better of the two, they sure go in nice and come out with a press of the mag release they drop out without any help none of my 4 SA mags will do that. The SA mag is parkerized and the T57 is a blueing type finish. I can buy 3 of these T57 magazines for the price of one Springfield Armory mags and the only difference is the finish of the mags.
