Please do not make the mistake I did by ordering from these thieves.
I placed an order for 3 Thermold Mini-30 magazine 14 months ago & still nothing.
They are still advertising them on their web site.
They've given me nothing but excuses.
Just bought 3 new old stock USA 10 rounders on gunbroker.com from a guy in Goleta, near Santa Barbara. They needed to be wiped down from long storage in their original bags and one feed lip tweaked. Otherwise, good stuff. He says he has 3 more still for sale.
I have 5 blued 'American' brand 10 rd M30 mags for sale in the classified or just pm me. they're good mags. fit and function 100% I'm keeping the 5 s/s I have my M30 is s/s.
I don't have a Mini 6.8, but the Pro Mag's I bought for my Mini 30 were worthless. the bodies were not hard enough to keep the lips from flexing.
I also bought a Pro Mag for my HK USP, it was also sub standard & faild to feed where the much more expensive factory mag is 100% reliable.

I am the weapon. The gun is merely a tool.
So, going by this thread, I can see everyone is high on the ProMag 20 rounders. I don't like the 20rd mags though. Are the 30 round ProMags just as good?
I don't like the fact that they don't have anti-tilt followers and such but the spring seems nice and the quality is pretty good from what I can tell. What do you guys think? Fixing to buy some.
I have a 183GB, 196RR, and 580Tactical, I can use the current Promags in all of them. Both 20s and 30s. The olders ones took some fitting and in some cases had to be segragated by gun. (183,196). Until the Ruger mags became easily available these were my choice. My experience is not universal to the board, some members say they are just junk. With Hoffmans seliing 20 rounders for 20 bucks are the Promags that much of a bargain? Everything I've bought recently is Ruger factory and I'm thinking that's the way it will stay unless the supply dries up. One other thing, it seems the Ruger mags are easier to insert in the mag well with the bolt closed when loaded.
A little late on the update but you all will be happy with my mason mag experience. Ive been using them now 3-4 years along with my PMI mags I would say they are just as good as PMI their only downside is the finish is some kind of enamel rather than a hot bluing like the PMI's.
More recently Ive bought some the tapco intrafuse mags these things are phenomenal magazines for now on If I need a mag these are my go to mags. you guys should check'em out!!
I have a factory Ruger 30. That's it though when it comes to the factory mags. The others I use are TAPCO. Those are fine for me even under hard use .. but the only thing is I've gone through several because the hole in the front wears out. Not good!
Found out the other day that TAPCO has pushed back the Gen 2 release date till the NRA show. Just a little update there!
I will probably buy a couple of ProMags and try them out. if they don't work right, I'll go another route.
And their 30-round mags are under $30. I may be biased, because they're a half hour drive from me, but Hoffman's is the best source for Mini mags. I don't know what they're like to order from online, but they are one of my favorite places to stop in and get friendly advice and excellent service.

I've got 2 promag 30 round polymer mags I picked up at a gun show a few years ago for $10 each. Other than a few failures to lock the bolt open, they work great. I've never had a real feeding issue except for one time I stretched the springs a wee bit. Ended up being too much and they kept double feeding. Recompressed the springs and no issues since. Just my two cents.
New to this forum. It seems as Precision Mag Industries still has a reputation for highest level of quality. Seems like rumors of PMIs downfall have been one of myth and lore. PMI is in fact still a California business and I am in fact the President of PMI. PMI was/is an offshoot of a contract manufacturing company started in 1953 specializing in high volume metal stampings and sub assemblies catering to the automotive and appliance markets. That company is Punch Press Products, inc. (metal stamping | metal stamping manufacturers | precision metal stamping) and is still going strong today. I have the pleasure of being the President of PPP as well. Our experience in high end markets, the tooling, and process we used back then is what set us apart and apparently what all of you measure the others against. The ORGINAL tooling and fixtures for all steel parts and the plastic follower are still in existence and owned by PPP (in storage at PPP facilities). It has not been operated since the original AWB. Not being exclusively a gun oriented company; the AWB scared us off and many other companies like us. I'm writing this because one - I'm surprised to see the following this product still garners, and two - interested in learning what market there may still be for our mags and whether the limited AWB repeal should convince us to enter into this again. The tools and assy process can somewhat easily be turned back on if the volumes are there and the legalities of any remaining AWB legislature (CA and MA?) do not prohibit re-entry.
One more thing…. Many have tried to copy the design of a PMI product - some have even used components of the company name to influence PMI memories - but none have the process and tooling capabilities to produce the part in the same way.
Thanks for reading. I'm interested to hear the response this message gets.
Go to the PPP web site and search my email link if you would like to correspond one-on-one.

Sir, If you start making them, I will buy them. I have used you mags in my Mini 14 for over 10 years now, and other than replacing springs, one follower has worn and won't hold the bolt open. Otherwise they have been flawless!
I would really love to have some PMI some Mini 30 mags!
Received them on Saturday and much to my dissapointment they did not fit. The raised edges were too high and they were fouling on the internal edges of the receiver.
Rather than send back I hit them with a file - about 10 mins each mag, until they fitted.
Ran them last night and they were flawless. So if you want to save a bit of money and don't mind a bit of effort, these work well.
Found this site the other day reasonable prices for new real ruger mags and flat rate shipping, And for all of us in high capacity banned states we can get parts for our pre ban magazines wink wink

I had really good luck with these guys but they don't take phone orders anymore and I don't put my debit card on the net ever. Do us throwbacks a favor and tell them to put their phone back up....
