March 7, 2005 -- "There has been a lot of post-ban interest in 30-round magazines for AR-15/M16 rifles," said Frank Brownell, company president, "and we wanted to be positive we had the
kind of quality that would stand up to extended firing under tough conditions." To ensure the satisfaction of even the most demanding shooters, Brownell said the company's design team
researched and tested a combination of materials which can assure shooters of problem-free operation, even in tough conditions.
Features of these new Brownells magazines include:
Heavy-duty aluminum bodies are manufactured and heat treated to MIL-STD specifications to insure fast insertion and precise fit. They are spot-welded to stand up under rough use and
MIL-STD hard anodized with a dry-lube coating to provide snag-free operation.
Highest quality chrome-silicon springs retain their tension and won't take a "set" after extended use.
MIL-STD green follower uses plastic/glass composite construction for smooth feeding round after round.
Tolerances are much tighter than MIL-STD to avoid tolerance stacking and add reliability to loading and ammo feeding. "When you are in a pinch, you don't want to be messing around with a
stuck mag or a mis-fed round," Brownell said.
The result is a rifle magazine that inserts fast, feeds flawlessly and stands up under rough environments without needing lubricants, which can attract dust, sand and dirt. "Plus," he
added, "It's covered by our guarantee of 100 percent satisfaction."
Brownells AR-15/M16 high-capacity magazines have a suggested retail price of $17.95.
