NOT YET. i don't have time or the patience to post ALL THE MAGPUL THREADS.
Perhaps HB has time on his hands, the battalion should be in bed by now.

I think I just met Jim.

Howdy Jim.

Yeah, plus I have some Brownell's metal ones on backorder too that I hope eventually come. So I guess I'll learn really quickly which I actually like!

I have two 20 rounders. I took them to the range and had no problems whatsoever. However, I like the look, feel, and reassurance I get from magpul products, so I bought some 20 round pmags. Take your thermolds out and determine how they function in YOUR rifle before you jump to conclusions. At the worst, you have range mags that may help you become more proficient with FTF malfunctions, can't have too much practice there! I will just say you will never regret having a couple extra mags, even those cheap ones will have some use!

I use the 20 round Thermolds and prefer them to the 30 round mags. They are much shorter and are much easier to use for prone position shooting. They work well for me and don't get in the way near as much as the 30's. I still shoot 30's but not near as often as the 20's.

I can't comment on the Thermold mags. I have never used one.
The NHMTG aluminum mags are the same ones made for Colt.
These usually came with the Black or Green Folowers. They do not have the Anti-tilt followers & I've changed mine out with the MagPul Anti- Tilt followers. No issues.
I have seen many negatives about Thermold's & I just stay away from them..
If a product is priced to low there must be a reason?

In fairness I have since procured some 20 round Thermolds at a fair market price and they are reasonable. The Magpul 30 round mags I have gotten in the same time frame are vastly nicer in fit and finish, if you will, and the 20 round Thermolds were on par with expectation. I overpaid for the 30 round ones and was frankly surprised at the time of the original post at how junky they were. Expectation vs reality vs cost plays a heavy role in what was initially stated. Overall I never intended to 'bash' them but rather figure out if I had gotten some bad ones since they were just so... lacking in quality. Had I paid much less, my expectation would have been much less, and I put that on me. :)
