    USGI spec magazines?

    Okay, I looked all over and found stuff with USGI and magazine in it, but not this exactly. I am in the process of getting (Mailing off M.O. today) a AR-180B. Now the reviews I've read say they need USGI spec magazines.... Does this mean steel and not the plymer ones? Or are AR-15...

    Hmm.only me? (Gunshows)
