The 32rd painted IMI advertised mags by Vector that I have received in orders this year are star marked 32rd painted mags. These have function flawlessly in Vector HR4332's. Would be willing to do a group purchase on them in quanties if there is enough interest to make it worth while for everyone.

Stovearms, I haven't seen one of the star marked 32's personally. Do they have the thick folded seam in the back like a star marked 25 or do they have a flat seam like the "IMI" marked 32's?

Personally I haven't seen much correlation between the finish on the mags and the reliability. I have some enamel finished South African mags and they work about the same as the standard parkerized South African mags. If finish was the key, then the high gloss blued finish mags (which are probably Mec-Gar) would be the best mags of all. The 32 round Mec-Gars do seem to be very good but I don't think they're better than IMI.

I will be talking to Rex today and will try to arrange a group buy. Their normal price is $39. If I can get them for $35 or less I'll get a bunch for members here. You can start chiming in on this thread to indicate how many you think you'd want. (Assume a price of $35 but I'll see if I can do better.)

Also, I have arranged another bulk purchase. I wasn't going to say anything until next week when I have them in hand and have checked them out but since we're on the topic... I will have 10 or 11 mag sets to sell. Each set has one 40 round mag and two 25 round mags. The 25 round mags are very good condition star marked IMI. The 40 round mag is new in wrap high gloss finish. They have a "made in Italy" sticker on them so they would be Mec-Gar. I had not heard of 40 round Mec-Gar's before but everyone seems to say that the 32 round high gloss Mec-Gars work very nice. If the 40's are on par with that, they could be one of the best 40 round mags around. I'll test one before I sell them. I'll sell the set of three mags for $55 ($27 for the 40 round and $14 each for the 25's.) I won't be breaking up the sets. You can also chime in on this thread if you're interested. I reserve the right to limit each member to one set if enough people are interested. You can request miltiple sets and I'll see what the final count is.

i trust NO mag to be IMI unless i see a 25 rder that has the star or IMI on the bottom ... or a 32 rder that has the IMI on the bottom ..

NO 32 rd mag ... to ME ... is IMI .. unless it has IMI on the bottom ..

those 32 rders that have the star on them ... sorry .. i just dont feel they are factory IMI ...
i know im not the only one with this gut feelin .. but .. if no one else wants to chime in and agree with me ... its ok ..

ill buy 32 IMI mags ... if and only if ... they say IMI on the bottom of the mag ..

NO offense to any seller here who may advertise otherwise.. :)

IMI did make 32's with the star in the later years that they were military issue in Israel. They're kinda rare compared to the IMI marked 32's. They are also not new. They're reworked mags. Karl.

In my limited experience, I tend to agree that unless the 32 round mags are stamped IMI, they MAY not be the real deal. I also know that Vector will cheerfully replace anything that's not functioning right. I'm game for a couple of the 32s IF the price is right.

Rex didn't call me back and I've been out of town for the last 5 days. Stoverarms has arranged some good prices on the 32 round star marked mags from vector so he'll be handling that. I still have the 40/25/25 mags sets coming and will post info when they arrive.
