who made/makes the clear 30 round mags in 223
I once had some Eagle brand AR/Mini-14 magazines that were clear (late 80's)....they found their way to the garbage in short order.
YMMV. Maybe I was just unlucky with (3) bad ones but would never buy another.

Ram-Line used to make a clear (lightly tinted) magazine that would also function in the Mini-14. I had a few, many years ago (pre-ban). They worked, but I wasn't impressed with the sturdiness, and if you pressed the floorplate tabs front and rear, they would violently disassemble themselves.
They look cool, but there are better choices out there for seviceable, reliable mags.
One of the guys I was in the Corps with had a couple of the Ramline mags, and they were rottenly unreliable. If someone could make new AR magazines that are mostly metal with a polymer strip down the back (Beta makes a 100 rounder with a clear back), I might get a few.

I could seriously go for this.
