THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
I was looking through an old parts stash the other evening and found a few old AR magazines. The floorplate on one of them says AR - Stoner
Anything special about this particular magazine? It's a thirty rounder,if that has any significance.

Nothing special. Think Midway USA still sells them. The 20 rd striaght ones that say Armalite AR-15, patent pending, cal .223 are special.

So, I take it none of these are either, then?

the colt 5.56 and adventure line are good retro mags, late 60s and 70s but not really rare and usually bring $10-$15 each.

the .223 marked mags are earlier and harder to find but i wouldn't call them rare.

The 20 Colt .223 marked with a circle and a 1 inside the circle on left side of body bring a few more coins. Someone pretty desperate would easily pay $20-25 for one I'm guessing. The 20 rd straight body aluminum mags are still being produced. The early mags are a must have for the retro collector and actually have some advantages over 30 rd mags but also disadvantages.

Nope; no 1-in-a-circle on any of them. Thanks, though. They still make good mags.

What about Sanchez, a circle around Kay, and 20 rounders marked M16 instead of Ar15? Do I have anything interesting? Also have some adventure line..

Sanchez and Okay never made 20 rounders. They are 30 round USGI contract mags. Okay is still making mags and Sanchez were made prior to 94.

Adventure Line made 20s and 30s, both pre 94.

All pretty common but good USGI mags.

When I read the title I thought.. Hmmm a magazine for retroheads... That would be neat.

Just to make this pointworth... If you are trying to de5rd a colt 5rd/20rd mag, If you dont drill the rivet out it will mess things up. Dont ask.
It's not paranoia if there really is somebody after you.
