The Chinese are even faking the Colt Pony on mags now.

JD, I do have a Springfield, but it came lightly-used with two mags. One was a Colt mag, one a blank one with markings. At a recent gun show I picked up a second Colt mag for $13 or $14. If my memory and logs are right, this is the gun show mag.
Like Jeremiah mentioned, both of the Colt mags (authentic or not) have the four little welds holding the floor plate to the mag body.
Counterfeit mag eh? Why didn't I think of that...

Yeah, it's a counterfeit mag. Gotta' be careful with what mags you buy.
Oh well, better the mag fail on the range than during an incident.
This is true, which is why it's difficult to tell the difference. But without the Rampant Pony, it's definitely not a Colt factory mag.Originally Posted by QKShooter
Sportsmans Guide sells reproduction Colt magazines.
When you’re wounded and left on Afghanistan’s plains,
And the women come out to cut up what remains,
Just roll to your rifle and blow out your brains,
And go to your God like a soldier.
