OKAY mags

Ammoman has OK mags 5 for $100 delivered. Are these any good? Will they work in my AR-180B? TIA

Okay Industries is a current US Military contractor, and is the subcontractor that manufactures all Colt-marked AR-15 magazines. They also sell magazines under their own name, identical except for the floorplate stamping. Early mags had black plastic followers; mags made since 1992 had green "anti-tilt" followers. Made from late 1970s-present. Floorplates stamped:

They should work fine in your AR-180B as any AR mags should. ;)

They work fine in my AR-180B. As Optimus Prime said, any AR mag works in the 180B. I haven't tried anything other than the good old USGI, but they all work just fine.

Ordered Five this morning and they shipped this afternoon. They are new acording to the ammoman ad but they didn't say anything about the green follower and in the picture you can't tell. I have an older OK with black follower. It wouldn't feed the last round until I spun the mag catch twice clockwise. Now it feeds everytime. If these new ones don't have the green follower I'll probably get some followers at the show this weekend.

Sounds like you are good to go.......:)

They got here last night. Look pretty good though they have the black followers not green. Was able to back the mag catch off one turn with these new mags. Will still grab some green followers this weekend at the show. Might see if I can get some of the silicon springs as well. New follower and spring in the older mag might get it operating on the same level as the new ones.
