Are these authentic Ruger mags?

The floor plates don't seem to line up and the locking lugs are different than on the 20 rounders I have. Just want to make sure before I get in a bidding war.

They look like they are original Ruger 30 rounders. Personally I would pass on them, as they look like they have been well used and even Ruger magazines do wear out. Additionally I have had problems with the 30 rounders, even one Ruger one. Never had a problem with a Ruger 20 rounder.

Agree, 20 rounders are the best of the best,,like AR mags,,prefer the 20s over the 30s,,imo,,

the base plates can be tweaked to line up better, one of the followers shows little use compared to the other and they're ruger. wouldn't go more than 40 shipped for the pair, 50 if really wanting and you would still be doing good imo. if you get them, load to 28 or 29 max and they should run fine.

FYI, brand new Ruger factory 30-rounder magazines can be bought from CDNN for $29.95.. and $10 shipping on any quantity.
