MP,
Out of curiosity how was it determined these are FAL mags... I knew something wasn't right with them from the pictures but didn't see the rest of the thread before it got locked and modified to delete the offender's posts

The guy that was commenting owns marksmen.com. He has scammed a few members in the past.
From his own mouth "Lol! Yes fde scar mags are pretty much painted fal mags. The mag in the pic is a scar mag pulled out of the the factory box."x

No way! Say it isn't so... 
He's a scammer from the word "go". Good job on the research MP.

Sorry for posting he had mags, I saw the price and I wasn't buying based on price, thought some others who needed mags might be able to get some mags .
I didn't know he scammed other members, I should have looked closer at them."Sometimes it is entirely appropriate to kill a fly with a sledge-hammer!"

I guess I just got lucky last year when I got 5 black 17 mags from him.
BTW, Here's the thread I used back then, never heard of him before that.

If you look on the site, the black ones are listed as " Scar 17 20 RD Black Factory Magazine" and the FDE ones are listed as "Scar 17 FDE 20 Rd Magazine OEM ". It just screems scam. I have other issues logged about them that I don't want to discuss on open forum.
If anyone sends me an FAL mag painted to look like a scar 17, I would be at their door step the next day to have a little chat with them
