As far as I can tell, Simmons Precision had a .Gov contract and only produced these 20 round magazines between '67-'71. If anyone knows different, chime in, I am certainly not an expert.
Simmons is one of a handful of USGI's but I'm almost positive they made them well into the 1980s. I know I've got a few dozen. That metal floorplate example might be early 70s though.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
