It works
I only ordered one just to see how it functions. Nice tight fit in my DSA SA58. Cycles and feeds ball ammo just fine. I have not loaded mag and let sit yet to see if it will hold rounds without letting them pop out top. Time will tell if the lugs hold up, but so far no complaints. Only gave three stars due to only used it once. i would say give it a try....... only out 20 bucks...
