    I especially like the USGI Colt 20 rounders for use with bipod. But I have so many 30 rd Pmags that I don't actively seek them out. The black teflon metal mags are nice too. Sharper edges and noise are the only downsides I'm aware of for quality metal mags.

    Half of my AR mags are standard issue, metal magazines. They get the job done and hold up to abuse, smooth and thin compared to most plastic mags so they fit into pouches easily. They are also one of the few magazines that are guaranteed to fit into almost all 5.56 rifle platforms.

    I also use metal AI mags and metal handgun mags, but I don't think thats what you meant to ask in your question.

    I've got 15 or so, that have been upgraded with the Magpul followers. They stay in the background though, pretty much as back-up's.

    I have some Colt 20 Rounders. I got rid of all the metal 30 Rounders except for the Adventure Line mags. They date back to the late 60's and have a great street cred (jungle actually).

    I've got a dozen of 30 round aluminum and 5 genuine 20 round Colt mags. In my spare time I'm gonna KG Gunkote or Cerakote them and put new springs in them. Not sure if I want to change the followers or not...

    Pretty much all metal mags, all NHMTG, all with Magpul followers, all with Ranger plates. 60 or 70 of them, fully loaded all the time.

    No metal mags but I bought a box of Gen3 Pmags still in the wrappers on gunbroker for $9 a piece including shipping :) I have about 15 or more of them now.

    Nothin like good ol genuine Colt 20rder.

    I don't know, I guess I like the historical nostalgia of them.
