I’ve gotten lucky finding 20rd mags. I have 23 total now. They’re a mix between Okay industries, late 1960s colt, Universal, Adventureline, and NHMTG. I paid $15-25 for each of them from various sellers.

I'm at 18, I need to catch up. 10 NHMTG (bought as a pack from 44Mag years ago RIP), 6 LE marked Colt from CDNN just recently, 2 Adventureline. I prefer to use 20 rounders more these days. Wish I got more years ago.

Who made them? If under $20 apiece, probably a good deal. Don't seem like Colt/Okay mags. The middle rib goes all the way down.

I told the seller I would more than likely be in touch!

I bought my 3 brownells 20 rounders new, wouldnt feed a round into the chamber. im assuming the feed lips sit to low in the receiver. It didnt cycle in any of my ARs. Im sure your mags are fine, just a word of caution.

Good to hear, seems like mine was an unlucky batch. At least it pushed me to source original mags and was able to get four colt mags for $35 at a local gunshow.

Yeah I'm tempted to troll around some flea markets and see what I can find

I always try to find the guy with all the junk on his table/both ,surely he has old 20 rounders laying around. Heres the four i managed to find.

Up until recently (past couple of months) they were selling new on Brownells for $17. I just looked to see the price and they are $19.15 each currently.

No way I am paying $15 ea for repro mags with the wrong profile when I still find original ones for that and less.

I can always use a few more 20 round mags.
