The four I bought on gunbroker.com don't even have the horse on them. Maybe that's why they don't work worth a S---

Quite clever copying QK - but I do notice the folds on the junque are not as sharp - the rear wall is even slightly bowed.
I'll bet there are boatloads of these being offered - and often as the real deal too.

Thanks for the photo QK. My Mil-Spec came with two "Colt mags" when I bought it. They went in the trash shortly after I got home as not even fresh Wolff springs could make them function properly.
No biggie as I had four 8 round Shooting Stars in my range bag but I hate knock-offs whether it's mags, knives or anything else. These pirates live off the hard work of others and steal from honest folks who think they've gotten a deal.

This is the reason that I like to buy my magazines directly from Chip or Wilson. I don't mind paying a little extra to know that they are the real deal.
Good information - thanks for posting the pics - vigilance always.
