Good source for 20 rd GI AR mags?
I would like to buy some. Any leads for good pricing from a good retailer on these?

Thanks all.

Are these comparable to the 30 rd version or is there a premium for these for a reason?

Palmetto State Armory has the Okay mags, but with a limit of 5.

Before I switched to Pmags with my 223 AR15s, my first mags were from Brownells. I use their aluminum mags now for 300 blackout loads, so I don't mix ammo and chamber types. Those old Brownell mags are going strong after many years of use.

A quick review of a google search for "20 round aluminum AR15 mag" gave a bunch of options. Some are nicely priced, some not so much. Some distributors have inventory, some don't.

Economies of scale, WAY more 30 round mags are made and sold.

Upon arriving in Kandahar/Helmund we began to fill out our kits and trucks.

We had a limited number of PMags that were left by the contractors and some of the guys were real particular and wanted PMags. To them Aluminum mags were verboten so I was more than happy to carry geriatric mags in the geriatric truck (My team was all over 40)

Since I never used Brownell's before, but have used Okay in the past I decided to carry a mixed load.

I tried and tried to abuse them but they never failed.

I still carry them in my kit for the Army and now for LE.

Is weaponoutfitters a source someone can vouch for. I've not used them and the internet really doesn't say much. I like the tan Okays and they have them.

If you want Colt mags here is a link but they are $25. Before COVID, I purchased these for $15.99 on sale from them.

Weapon Outfitters is GTG. I've bought from them a few times, most recently an EOTech back over the summer. All have gone off without a hitch.

I have a few GI 20rd mags, since I largely prefer 20’s.
I have to say, though...my go to 20rd mags are Lancers, now. That’s the mag I keep handy for the HD AR.
