Yes, you've seen them around–if not in the rigs of soldiers, then in surplus mag bins at gun shows. This isn't surprising, as OKAY Industries has been manufacturing issued magazines for the government for more than 40 years. Now they've decided to bring them to the civilian market, under the name SureFeed magazines (but they still sport the OKAY logo on the base plates).

Here's what they have to say about it:

Previously only made for the U.S. Government, Okay Industries AR-15.223/5.56 magazines are now available commercially for manufacturers, law enforcement and civilian shooters. Coveted by U.S. soldiers, Government Agencies and sought after by civilian shooters alike, OKAY magazines are renowned for reliable feeding and flawless performance in any Mil-Spec AR-15 compatible platform. Since co-developing the original 30 round M16 magazine with the U.S. Military in 1973, OKAY magazines have earned a reputation as the best USGI versions available.

Called SureFeed®, these appropriately named magazines are perfect for any Mil-Spec AR-15 modern sporting rifle. SureFeed® USGI type magazines are 100% made in the U.S.A. with components that meet or exceed demanding Mil-Spec requirements. The magazine bodies & floor plates are made from lightweight aluminum and heat treated to Mil-Spec for strength and durability. All magazines are hard coat anodized and available with either a Mil-Spec dry film lube grey finish or Tactical Black PTFE finish. A four-way, anti-tilt,self-lubricating non-hygroscopic resin follower and high performance Mil-Spec stainless steel spring keep rounds properly aligned and tensioned for flawless performance.

SureFeed magazines are available in 10, 20, and 30 round capacities at competitive prices. For more information you can visit them online here, or follow them on Facebook.
