Vinegar takes the rust off and leaves the paint on.

But how do they look on the inside? I guess originally they were blued on the inside as well by the Germans. Did you treat the springs with something?

[@buffalosoutdoors]

Man those look great after you got done with them.

[@randykoebler8655]

The "good" rated mags are very clean, with very little wear. I got the "very good" mags. Very nice.

[@Johnyrocket70]

My 2nd mag I put a wet coat of clp. A week later rust all wiped right off

[@albatross497]

They look great now!..Did you use any primer?

[@delljohnson172]

[@organic1776]

How do you know they are E. German? Are they marked etc..?

I got the magpul m3 AR mags, it was about $14 from midway USA, they came a lot faster than expected too.

[@mike796]
