Hello everyone,
I was going to buy a few mags and found that the SureFeed E2 magazines are going for the exact same price as the original SureFeed magazines with green followers.
Is there any reason for this? Does anyone have any experience with the SureFeed E2 mags? I figured if they are an improvement over the originals then why are they the same exact price?
Thanks
Most places I’ve seen have the E2’s priced higher than the originals. Where are you buying them from?
Primary Arms was the only place I looked really.
I was looking for Pmags and some of the regular Okay aluminum mags, but stumbled upon the E2’s and saw they were priced the same.
From reading the thread on them on TOS, it looks like Botach had them also equally priced.
A 6 pack from Botac is under $10/ shipped. I ordered a 6 pack and happy with the quality, they run great in my rifles. Can’t answer the pricing question though. I will purchase more.
E2 SureFeed Magazines $12.50 each
It’s 10+ for $10.00 ea
6 - 9 $11.50 each
10 or above $10.00 each

Maybe they are proving less popular than the standard Okays? I think GI aluminums probably derive at least some of their popularity from the nostalgia factor. The E2’s texturing and large logo might be off-putting to some customers looking at GI mags for that “back in the day” flavor, add a higher cost to that equation and it’s possible some retailers might be having to drop the price a bit to move them.
Mrgunsngear has posted when they go on sale. If I remember correctly it was $55 for 6 shipped. The E2 were priced lower than the standard mags then.
$9.16 each with free shipping>>>> https://www.botach.com/okay-surefeed-ar-m4-5-56mm-30rd-magazines-6-pack-grey/
Stock up now. In '08 I saw C-Prod aftermarket thirties change hands for $40 each. Pmags were advertised at $75.
I believe what I posted is the day-to-day deal.
Recently ordered from Botach for the first time, 10 x SureFeed mags. 8 Feb 19.
So far, no mags and no CC charge. When I call them, no one picks up, just a recording.
A “rate this product” e-mail appeared in my inbox today. Very weird.
Until I saw this thread I thought maybe they were scammers or something.
I’ve probably done about a hundred transactions with Botach and they’ve been good to go (hell, just got something I ordered from them last week). They were kinda sketch in the early/late 2000’s, but they’ve been trying to fix their image. Definitely not scammers, though.
From what I recall, Botach has a somewhat “checkered” reputation. You might want to contact them.
ETA: I have never done business with them.
Possibly they were out of stock. I’ve noticed that, unless you see some “quantity remaining” in that listing, they’re probably out of that particular item. Otherwise, I’ve bought many mags from them and have had good luck.
Thanks for your input, Gentlemen. I very much appreciate it.
They’re F#$KTARDS. No telling when or what you may get. Ordering from those goobers is rolling the dice.
I’ve ordered from them twice. First time was ok, the second time was meh, to say the least. Although nothing that would stop me from ordering ever again.
So as far as the mags go, no complaints? Aside from the looks, but that really doesn’t bother me.
I ordered 6 of the E2 mags from BOTACH. They shipped me standard milspec mags,
I was unable to get any response from them to fix my order. or refund me the difference in price.
Funny that people still need reminders to stock up.
I’m doing my best.
