The one star has nothing
The one star has nothing to do with CTD and all to do Thermold and how the Magazines where made and how the clean up was done after molding . There was a little bit of plastic that should've been removed at the factory. What it caused was the round on the left side to be to low to clear the side of the mag. I did fix it with a razor by shaving the piece of over pour off so the round can exit the magazine . I have other Thermold mags and they work great.

I bought five of these because the price was right. The mags work perfectly with every type of ammo I've tried, except for TulAmmo. The TulAmmo bullet is not pressed in quite as far as the rest of the rounds I have tried, so their overall length is just a little bit longer. This caused some failure to feed issues. TulAmmo in my other mags works fine and all other ammo I have tried in these mags works fine. They just don't seem to work well together.

These clips are prone to warping under high temps. Causing feeding problems. Aluminum or steel mags are a way better investment.

Save your money these mag
Save your money these mags suck. I have 2 DPMS AR-15's and this mag functioned poorly on both. It did not drop free from either one. Feeding was an issue every coouple of rounds it would just not feed. Bad experience on the range. now I am using as a paperweight. Cant beat classic steel mags.

I bought two of these for my DPMS AR-15, both of them worked great at the range and I didn't have a single hiccup. Very light polymer mags A+ all around.

Great price, great fit but the very 1st round jammed. Fired a few rounds and jammed again. My advice, spend a couple more bucks on a better mag.

Ordered two of these as the price was right. One worked perfectly and the other jammed about every third round. On close inspection of the top, I found that the two mags had different guides. I guess an issue when they came out of the mold. Planning on returning the bad one and ordering a different brand. If you want to take a 50/50 chance on this mag, go ahead.

Bought a number of these
Bought a number of these to use as duty mags BUT during quals, had a brand new magazine completely lose the lips on one side-never been used before, and never had that happen before. Inspect your mags before loading and before any use-hadn't been dropped or roughly handled before this, so I'm at a loss to explain Whiskey tango foxtrot happened. No reply yet from Thermold about replacing it.

I've used many magazines
I've used many magazines for military and LEO, and these are the best I've found. It is very reliable, drop free right out of the bag. I use these when my life is on the line. I don't believe anyone will be disappointed by trying them out. Training Officer, Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, Crime Prevention Group.

Cons: This mag is cheap.
Cons: This mag is cheap. I ordered two and intially they looked the same, however upon inspection I dicovered they had different followers and two different size 'steel' springs in each?! Pros: They feel great and have held up to standard abuse over several trips out. The different followers and springs appeared to have no consequences on the performance of the mags (The have fit and fed my Rock River Tactical just fine for over 500 rds now!)Bottom Line: Eventually you will want to replace the steel springs and followers with magpul components before they become an issue (you know they will). That being said, you will have to file down the sides of the new followers and also take about a half inch off one side to make all 30rds fit. But after all that, you will have a stand out mag! The choice is yours...

I've put around 100 rounds through this mag already and it worked FLAWLESSLY in my Bushmaster. I was glad to hear other Bushmaster owners comment so I was pretty sure it would work and it does. These are much nicer than the metal one that came with the gun. Highly recommended and hope to get more soon!

got to of these mags abou
got to of these mags about 2 weeks ago. the mags look great with no starches, i like the polymer mags because they don't dent. however, one consideration when purchasing these mags, the grooves shown in the picture cause difficulty when putting them in magazine pouches. if your planning on putting them in a 2 or 3 mag pouch, they won't stack right. but for just shooting at the range are great.

These are some of the best built mags I've bought. They fit my Bushmaster AR-15 perfectly. Smooth operation and are easy to handle in cold weather. Buy many while you can.

I got one of these to try
I got one of these to try it out at the retail store and out of the package it didn't fit in my M&P15T because the indentation on the mag did not fit far enough into the well to catch. I used a box knife and cut away just about .5mm on the top edge and BINGO! Unfortunately I now have a hole in the mag that once was closed from dirt, bugs, crud, etc. but when I get some more I will know what to do and be more careful. Feeds well and doesn't make noise either like the metal ones can.
