cdnn mag order arrived today.

ordered some 25rnd imi mags from cdnn and they came today. I knew going into the deal that i was paying top dollar and i had better be pleased.
I received NICE NEW PERFECT STAR MARKED IMI mags. not a scratch on them. brand new. happy happy. they were a little gritty inside due to packing grease, but easy to clean. Yes, $25 a bit high, but New star marked worth it.

I also oredred STEN 32rnd for my M11. They were also very nice. they were advertized as new to like new. What i got was GI surplus mags refinished in black parkerizing. For $4.99 they were very nice. feed lips perfect like new. great deal.

Now I think I am going for the 32rnd uzi mags from cdnn. I am kind of worried because i did see some poor feed back on these.
DID ANYONE GET THESE IN LATELY FROM CDNN? FEEDBACK PLEASE?

I would just suggest you call and ask for specifics about tool marks and don't pay a premium for aftermarket mags. If you want IMI, get IMI. If you don't mind other factory mags for a few $$$ less, look for FN marked or SA marked. They are almost just as good IMHO. Karl.

The 32 round mags that CDNN sells are not IMI. If that's acceptable to you then they seem to be worth checking out. A friend of mine bought some just a few weeks ago. They're high gloss blued finish and most reports I've seen say they work quite well.

This is where i am worried. I did ask cdnn in detail about their 32rnd factory mags. I was told that they are marked IMI. BUT like the post above, some of you said otherwise. Who am I to believe? One thing is for sure. The sales people at cdnn do not know how to describe what type of finish mags have. I got parkerized when I was told they were blue. In this case it was ok since i like parked better.

Ah yes, they are marked IMI, but not the real IMI. The real IMI 32 round mags are stamped "IMI" on the rear and are a painted finish. The ones CDNN sell (at least the last ones I saw) are high gloss blue and stamped "I.M.I" on the side. You can tell the stamp was done after the blueing. I'm sure they aren't made by IMI. They'd be contract at best but even that's a stretch. I believe they are made by Mec-Gar. But as I said, they seem to work pretty good.

The other option is to get in on the group by for IMI star marked 32 round mags that Stoverarms is arranging through Vector for $35 each including shipping. Check out this thread:
