So stick to MecGars for shooting, I'd say
Sounds like a good plan. Might pick up one cold war era mag for collection purposes, but the rest will be Mec-gar for now.

Is there any advantage to the nickel plated ones vs blued other than ease of cleaning and corrosion resistance? I assume both function the same.
