Labelle became D&H Industries, as far as I know. Or they bought their tooling, something like that. Either way, both are good magazines.
If you bought a Labelle mag from CMMG chances are that it is used, unless it was new and had been in storage for quite a while, but I doubt that would be the case.Last edited by parabellum; 14 February 2008 at 23:24. Reason: typo

they claim they are new.
they are advertised as such and i emailed to ask after getting them.
pretty beat up...followers seemed far more prone to tilting than other green's i have(they all get replaced anyway).

The actual USGI mags that I've seen and used have all looked pretty rough to me. The dry lube wears quickly, and overall quality has appeared lacking, but these are the actual issued military magazines.
In general, the after market crowd is much more worried about their magazines than the MIL/ LE crowd that is issued their gear, and really doesn't care about looks, fit or finish.
The above isn't meant to degrade either side, I think its more a matter of needs and usage.

picture the ones in the ad after being thrown in the dryer with some gravel for 20-30 minutes.
i emailed them describing the condition and basically asking "are you sure these are new".
response was...
"they're new,scuffed up during shipping/storage."
i just threw them in the stockpile(if you could call it that),they function.
i avoid CMMG now though...wasnt just the condition of the mags,i wasnt pleased with the CS in general.

Stick's right and looking at your photo tells me that you got USGI (type) dry-lube mags. It doesn't matter who you buy the dry-film mags, they will look like that some a little better, some a little worse. C Products stainless come look better. The PMags and the C Products stainless mags will look new unless and until you treat them rough.

I think we've laid out the best mags out there. D&H Teflon coated (they always look good) C Products Stainless and PMags. I haven't banged up my PMag like I have my C Products Stainless, but it's holding up well so far.

Pics show typical USGI mags with handling marks.

I've never had a problem with a USGI mag, but I've never abused one like I have the stainless or even the PMag. I've still got 50 plus USGI dry-flm and D&H telfon mags though...
