I found mine at a gunshow in a $5 box. Try gunbroker also.

Same here. Found two in a bag for $5 in a box at a gun show. This was maybe 4-5 years ago,

I used to buy the Pro mag double sided ones from MidwayUSA years back but they discontinued them long time ago.

Mine came with an early F marked M4 complete upper bought for a project. Icing on the cake I guess.

Best bet is really to find these at a gun show. I see at least one set every time. Scour every table selling USGI doodads and make sure to look in all their compartmental knick knack boxes. You want to find all four pieces in the deal.

Problem is that like M203 mounting kits and Quadrant sights a lot of people started finding out how much these are worth to retro A2 fans. Others aren't quite sure what it even is.

After you find one and if you'd like help easily mounting it without frustration, come on back.

They always seem to loosen up for me! Not to mention that I'm a lefty and like the center sling loop.
