You are paying for the name.

There are much better options out there.

Thanks for info ! Need to call Jensens tomorrow.

H&K 416 mags are the only ones that have not caused _any_ malfunctions so far in my rifles / carbines and in rifles I have built (~1000 pcs).
My H&K mags (in Europe) have lasted about ~10k rounds each. I do not know when they are worn out though, just have not been able to shoot more through them (4 pcs) :)
Other thing is, I often load my ammo long and H&K has been the only one to accept 2.29" round and feed it reliably.

Next best mag has been PRI, but price is not much different from H&K.

Or... Is there differences between European and US H&K mags ?

I have not found better mags, but I am listening if someone has better options... I know there must be hundreds of different ones available.

Mag brands I have tested / used so far, in calibers .223/5.56, 6.5 Grendel, 7.62x39 .458 Socom and .50 Beowulf:

Anything with a magpul follower gives you the same anti tilt as the H&K mags. Mine all function in anything i've tried them in.

H&K 30rd mags bought, but has anyone seen H&K 416 20rd mags anywhere in US ?

Yes, I have found a bunch locally!

The Gun Room in Lakewood on Carr, just North of Colfax.

They are black stainless steal 30 round H&K AR15 mags. They are marked LE. They are $40! I purchased 2 and I cannot believe the quality. The follower does not get stuck no matter how hard I try. They are on the heavy side, but that is quality.

Of course I am assuming 416 mags are what I just described.
Also, 2 weeks ago they must have had 50. Last week I saw about 35. You may want to be quick to get down there.

I hope this helps.
