Nice Upgrade

These are a nice addition for my USGI mags. I hated dropping a mag (even an empty one) onto concrete at the range. The L-Plates provide a respectable degree of protection for my old workhorses. One issue, easily corrected: The lock plates have a slight burr/ridge at both ends (about 1 mm) left over from the manufacturing process. (See photo) These burrs can cause the lock plate to bind inside the mag and not properly engage the rubber bottom plate. The burrs are easily & quickly removed with a bit of fine grit sandpaper. It's such an easy fix that I still highly recommend them.
