mini-14 mags

I have two mags that are not marked law enforcement only for the Mini-14 .223. I have been looking at some auctions and have noted that several of the mags have "ruger" stamped into the side. My mags have the ruger base plate with nothing else stamped into the side. Are these factory mags or some kind of aftermarket mag? To my knoledge, the base plates have not been switched.
Thanks for the replies

I would appreciate any comments regarding old vs new mini-14 in 223cal.
I now own a mini in 223cal.(DOM 1980).
I assume the 30rd mags I now have will fit a new mini.
Is this correct?
While the new mini's are more accurate then the old ones they come with a price. Nearly the same price as the even more accurate AR. I myself see no reason to own a mini 14.
Quite a bit of difference between some AR mousegun and a Mini-14; fewer O-rings, pins, springs, and annoyances from losing a bb or some other teensy part outta yer multi-thousand-dollar "black rifle".
I have a new mini 14 581 series, it is a very quick handling carbine. I am a left handed shooter, so I prefer the Garand style safety, and of course the bullet proof Garand style action. This action shrugs off dirt and grime that would jam up an AR[;)].
My 2 cents

Multi thousand dollar mouse gun??? A $700 AR will out shoot the $700 mini any day of the week period. They had to practically redesign half the gun and it's still not that accurate.
