D&H magazines

[LSU2010]

I bought some 30rders(green followers) months ago for my backordered AR and just got a chance to use them yesterday. Some wouldn't fit in the receiver and, those that did fit, some wouldn't feed a round after firing. I hear bushmaster mags are just rebranded D&H.

Anyone having or not having any trouble?

No. This is actually quite suprising. I LOVE my black teflon D&H's, and have never had a problem with them.
Where did you buy them from? I recommend 44mag.com, if you have a problem with any mag they sell, they will make it right. excellent people to deal with.

actually, now the factory bushmaster mags are Cproducts. you can see the tell-tale divots that Cproducts uses on the 2 stamped halves to hold them in alignment before welding.

Thanks for the input, Richard.
I got them from 44mag in April. I sent them a note earlier today. I was pretty surprised too as a little research shows them to be pretty reliable.
OK, the info I was reading regarding the BM rebranding was 2007 or so.

Are the D&H better than the Magpuls?

All my d&h mags have been awesome.

What lower was it? Some are tighter in the magwell than others.

It's an EA lower.
hmmm. There aluminininmin so I wonder if they got crunched in shipping. USPS.
I don't know if its my lower cause some fit and some don't. I got 9 of them.

Try them in another lower - if you can get together with someone.
EA lower should not be a problem as to brand. your individual lower my be a bit tight and some of the mags may be a bit big. You just have to isolate what it is.

I don't remember 100% but I think Olympic and another brand were tight in general. You can probably find the info on arfcom or ar15.com.

I have somebody's EA lowered rifle here and the Cproducts, Magpul & Bravo Co. (which I think are D&H) all drop free. All the mags were a bit harder to seat when loaded on closed bolt. First time I had that happen. I did not try to feed any live rounds out of the mags for safety reasons. Cycling by hand is not an indcation cycling during firing will work.

Look em over for high spot welds and see where they are rubbing.

Check the mag catch also.

If the finish on the inside of the mag well is a bit thick you can get a small light abrasion emery board in the nail section of Walgreens and lightly file the contact points inside the lower receiver where the mag makes contact, if you do not know where this is, put chaulk on the exterior of the magazine and it will leave white on the areas where it is rubbing, some of my EA's were a little thick, these spots will eventually get worn down anyway, should remedy the problem, the problem is your mag is not going into full lock and into battery

I happen to have a RR AR laying around. I'll check my D&H mags in it. I know the cmmg and the magpul mags didn't give me any trouble.
After I experienced problems seating some mags, I tried them all with an open bolt. same issues though.

Will try that also. Some of the mags go in like butta though. I can't see any visual differences in the mags either. I'll figure it out. Meanwhile, I have some magpuls on the way...
