A very good magazine. The only bad thing about the stainless magazines, they are bright stainless, look like polished stainless. If you have a stainless barrel get some of them. Otherwise great magazines, the follower is VERY slick. I have 3 and got some stainless blackening for them.

Zero, been looking for a while for a chemical that will blacken SS. What is it, and where can you get it? Appreciate the help. dozier

Black oxide is what is used to blacken S.S. Ceracoat is another alternative and is a very tough finish.
Any comments on this product?

Here is where I got mine. http://www.caswellplating.com/kits/black.htm SSB370 1 pint.
It works well, just I don't know how to get a finish that is even.

I read it as the only reason to not buy CMI magazines from www.44mag.com is to waste money.

Zero, thanks for the info. To get an even finish, I would try a good solvent to the finish prior to using the black oxide, or bead blast the mag prior to the BO finish. dozier
