TAPCO $3.99 painted FAL mags

I purchased 3 of TAPCO's $3.99 used FAL mags to round out an order. They arrived in 4 days via USPS. The mags actually look better than the pic on the website. They are steel, which I prefer. There are two little dabs of red and yellow paint on two of them, and no paint on the third. The mags appear to have been well used. The bodies did not have any dents but the finish was worn through in several areas. The floor plates were dinged and took a littel bending with needlenose pliers to repair. The interiors had the typical dirty grease that I find on all FAL mags. All mags functioned perfectly in my STG58. All in all, quite a good deal for the price, IMHO.

I bought 5 myself, Same condition. Not THAT much paint. Tore them down and cleaned them out in the parts washer. Function great. Not to many dings either.
