Amongst the 600+ USGI magazines I've accumulated, this one has to be the most interesting thus far. 2003 dated Okay Industries, with a floorplate engraving that reads "5035th MP DET".

I sell firearms produced by the finest child labor in the world, be it Filipino, Muslim, Mormon, Arizonan, or Texan.

Why would someone label a unit designation on a mag? That is really odd.
I hated going to weddings. All the grandmas would poke me and say "You're next". They stopped that when I started doing it to them at funerals.

Because the people they share the post with are damn thieves?

Definitely not something you would want to do in enemy territory. Although all military are targets, don’t want to bring down extra hate on your unit.

They're MPs.  They're hated already.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Because the Army has always treated magazines like sensitive items on a Green 2 report.
Which is why so many bad mags stayed in the system. Its a culture thing.


God forbid 1 30 rd magazine goes missing.
Just Drop... Buckethead!

Except when it's inspection time and you have mags that you aren't supposed to have.

One of my old units was going through some storage lockers and found a few cases of NIB M14 mags. They tossed them in a nearby lake.

This was before I knew that semi-auto M14 clones would become a thing.
"An age of glory passed like a lightning flash. The mandate of heaven passed from you but you didn't see. Times change and power passes. It is the pity of the world."

That's what NBC bags and a pick up truck are for..
Anything that was "extra" on the MTOE got stuck in the bed of a pickup and covered with a tarp...
Went back in the cage after the inspection.
