Forget About Scrounging for Battered Originals! Brand-New "Waffle" Mags Are Available Again

The Brownells Retro Waffle steel 20-round M16 magazine is a close replica of the original military M16 magazines issued in the late 1950s and early ’60s. With the distinctive waffle pattern stamped into its steel (NOT aluminum!) body, just like the originals, our Waffle 20-round M16 magazine gives the final touch of period accuracy to your "retro" reproduction rifle. Most of the original USGI waffle mags were destroyed by the Department of Defense and so are extremely rare and hard to come by - and the few that survived are collector’s items too valuable to shoot. Our mags give you the period-correct appearance at a fraction of the cost, with 100% up-to-date and reliable innards for dependable function in ANY AR-15 - new, old, or reproduction. Magazine body & floorplate made exclusively for Brownells by Nodak Spud Floorplate & spring are from the Brownells USGI 20rd aluminum magazines Fully heat-treated (for strength) carbon steel magazine body Waffle pattern crisply stamped into the sheet metal Matte black Parkerized finish With a Brownells Retro Waffle steel 20-round M16 magazine, you give your retro AR-15 build that vintage military look. The waffle texture gives any AR-15 shooter extra "purchase" to aid in fast mag changes in non-retro rifles, too.

Very Poor Finish Quality (28/01/2018)

I bought this with the intention of using it in my reproduction M16-A1 style AR-15 build. When I received it the first thing I noticed was how gritty the finish on it was when compared to some original period correct magazines that I own, it almost feels like sandpaper. When I locked the magazine into my AR, it seemed to fit just fine, but when I took it out I noticed a bunch of black stuff on my hands. Upon closer inspection I noticed the finish was rubbing off of the magazine very easily. I also noticed that the magazine reeked of WD-40, like it was sprayed down with it before shipping. I tried to wipe down the magazine with a towel to see if I could get rid of the smell, and instead it took off quite a bit of the finish with very little effort. Needless to say I'm extremely disappointed with the quality of the magazine given the price.

Excellent Magazine (04/02/2018)

I purchased this magazine to display with my AR15 (601 clone). I am very happy with the quality and look of the magazine. I have taken it to the range several times and it is absolutely reliable. I was using 55gr 5.56 ammunition. I plan to buy a few more and I would heartily recommend these to a friend. This product is great with a Retro style rifle and I thank Brownell's for bringing this product to market.

Have you priced an original one? (03/03/2018)

Thumbs up for Brownells teaming up with NoDak Spud to offer a hard to find reproduction waffle magazine. Yes it's pricey but the originals are too and I can use this one with out worrying about damaging it. I ran 100 rounds thru mine in a Colt Commando with no issues at all. It's a little harder to insert on a closed bolt (when comparing to a Colt or Magpul mag) but it locks up tight and drops freely. As other reviews have noted, it comes oily and when you clean it some of the finish comes off. The finish on mine is a little blotchy and some of it came off on the feed lips but not that bad. After some hard use it will appear more like an original. Besides the finish the overall construction is excellent. I have recommended this to other. One thing to note is that there is no date code on it, so those that can only use pre-ban mags could use them.
