I was going through old boxes and ammo cans in my basement, and I came across 40 Israeli Orlite AR 30 rd magazines I had purchased in the 1980s.
Some still have the sticker on them $14.50
Most of them I had ground the skirt off so they would fit into my AR rifle.
The Israelis made these with a plastic skirt, so that their soldiers fighting in the desert will not get sand blown up the magzine well.
The skirt made a seal - however it was impossible to get the mags to click into the rifle unless I removed the skirts.
To the best of my recollection they worked better than GI contract mags from that time period.
Someone told me to sell them on gunbroker because people in Massachusetts buy these because they can only own "old" magazines ?
Is that true?
