Looks used and abused

Received mine today and it looks used. Scratches and scrapes everywhere and looks like it was melted on the back. Even my old mags are in better shape than this one. Cycles through my rifle with no issue; it's also a Daniel Defense so no surprise there. Feels strong and has good grip. Just not sure its worth the asking price. I only bought it to match the rifle. But, pretty disappointed with the arrival condition - the box it came in was in good condition, though. So Id Ill buy accessories elsewhere now. Condition of the mag has no bearing on my rating; lost a star for price point vs utility.

Great

A little on the expensive side, but that's standard with Daniel defense. But you get what you pay for, a high quality magazine that will withstand a large amount of abuse and keep on ticking.
