THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Are the JI (Inglis) marked Hi-Power magazines really worth that much? I saw a gunbroker auction where one went for $146 back in May. Is that the going rate now days for the ones with the little tail on the floorplate?

Thanks

I haven't purchased a "JI" marked magazine in years but the last one I bought (in new condition for a No2Mk.I) was $25 IIRC. That was about 2001 DURING THE BAN!

I don't know in what universe a run-o-the-mill Inglis marked HP mag is worth $146

BTW- I was told that the "tail" on the floor plate was put there to be used as an ersatz screwdriver/pry to take apart the gun for emergency repairs in the field. I was also advised to never actually use it for that purpose.

That's kind of what I thought, but then I went searching. The $146 was the highest and most recent. Most other adds I found were circa 2010. They seemed to be going for $75-$80 pretty regular. I'm thinking it may be time to sell!
