Anybody have any experience with a company named "Western Mag"? They have mags for sale at reasonable prices advertised in "The Shotgun News".

CZ75 hi- caps? or what?? how much each?

i'll let Bradster fill you in one mags. He seems to be quite knowledgeable.
Most of here have learned to spend a few $$ more for genuine CZ mags.

Hi cap mags 6 for $79.50 plus shipping from an outfit in Yuma, AZ. Called them and they said the manufacturer was "Western Mag". I asked for more info but the sales guy was unable to give me anything intelligent. Would rather pay more for quality than get stuck with junk but can't find any info about the maker!

IMHO, First choice -  Mec-Gar (Bradster has them at good prices), second choice - CZ. I use them both, and have taken them apart and compared side by side. I have some "cheap" high caps that I no longer use in my Ruger; it gets annoying when they fall out during firing and require machining to fit. I don't know why it so INCREDIBLY DIFFICULT for the majority of aftermarket mag makers to copy and produce a sheet metal box with a spring in it.

i believe that company is "western metal products" and although i personally have no experience with them,i have been told (by more than 1 person) to stay away from them..so i have :)   to date i have sold approx 70-80 of the 15rd mec-gar mags (fingers crossed that supply continues to hold steady) only 1 return to date,somebody purchased them for use in a PCR and was afraid the recoil would rip his hand due to the protrusion of the mag from the grip..i wasn't about to argue so a refund was made.service with a smile is my motto :)
