I came across 6 Colt 20 round blued metal mags at a yard sale. Will they function in my Modern AR?

Fit? Yes.
Function? Probably maybe.
The secret to a long life is to try not to shorten it.

If the springs ain't sprung, and it ain't rusted, they'll work fine.

These are my go to range mags as I prefer them for their size. Never had an issue. I buy them whenever I find them priced reasonably.

I have a bunch of Colt Vietnam era 20 rounders that are so old that the metal has turned a gold color, they have a metal follower. They fit and function in every AR I've ever stuck them in.
Trolling? Heck no, I meant every word of it.

I have some of those still in the issue plastic bag. Used them on duty for years, they will work fine.  Only stopped when I went to Magpul's with the window.
