They from factory dont lockback?

The factory mag that came with my 1982 Ace locks back, the Colt Ace mag I bought off eBay does not.

Some colt ace mags have metal followed some have plastic. Sometimes every mag locks mag sometimes only some do. What application are you using them for ? For colt aces some
Slide stops don’t lock back

For my marvel conversion. Like this mags more than gsg.

Does anyone sell replacement followers for the Ace magazines? I have several that I modified for a Marvel conversion and now I would like to have them back in stock condition to use with a Nelson.

try triple K

Is that printed grip material tough enough for followers?

Hello,

There are lots of counterfeit "Colt" magazines floating around eBay.  Just because it has a hallmark stamped on the base plate does not make it really from Colt.  Buyer beware.

 How know is not a real colt Mag??

Hello Christian,

You really need a Colt collector to chime in but from what I have been told you need to look at things like: how the base plate attaches, the thickness of the tube, the finish/polish, the hallmark (with the pony and without).  Last week I saw a magazine for sale that only had "22" stamped on the base plate....not a Colt.  There's plenty on the web about identifying and dating Colt magazines.

I was using the Metalform Ace mags from Marvel years back.  I have 2 left.  Also one Colt like the bottom pictured mag.  Also Have one older Colt Ace with the pinned bottom. 
I use Nelson and AA mags.
