My nephew got some m-14 magazines in a box with some ar-15 magazines he traded for.

Two are marked OM and four are marked BRW S-1.

Here are the two OM marked magazines.

Here are the BRW s-1 Magazines

The site will not let me upload any more photos, but I have photos of each of the magazines with their individual markings.  I am just trying to help him determine an approximate value and what would be the best way to sell them.

Thanks for any help you might give.

I figured out a way to add the photos. Of the three BRW S-1 mags three look like new and one looks well used. I  can submit additional photos.

Probably in the $50 a piece range.

That's such a tiny niche (collecting M14 magazines) that first you'd have to find someone that does.

I might go $30 (a slight premium over current new Checkmate magazines) but I don't have climate controlled display cases of "collector" magazines.

Obviously he can put them on GunBroker but after fees & shipping...  Or get a table at a regional collectors show but after the table fee...

I would estimate closer to $30-35 for genuine USGI surplus mags in very good condition.   I don’t see a big time collector interest either.  There are guys that prefer the old USGI as known good quality.   The downside there are counterfeits with copied USGI markings.   I think the most common in the day was Westinghouse marked mags but Borg Warner were cloned too iirc.



You may get more targeted responses in the Armory, M1/M14 section as you are posting in the AR15 magazine forum.
