Any idea what this is worth? It has been in my garage for many years and I forgot about it. Attached File |
| $40 or so. A lot depends on who the manufacturer is as far as collectable status goes. |
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.

I have some singles and some double packs. |

When I was at Ft. Hood in the early '70s we found cases of NIW M14 mags in a Conex. We had a big inspection coming up and were told that we'd be dinged for still having them. First Shirt told us to gather them up and dump them in a nearby lake. Never thought that sometime in the future M1As would be a thing, much less owning an M14.

I believe they required repack for so many years in storage to refresh preserved condition. Most repacks are still new condition mags. |

I agree, they don't repack old used ones. I think I have about 10? or so still in the original or repacks along with most manufacturers. Here is a couple double packs from 1967. Attached File |

They had to be a fairly recent acquisition. Might have been US foreign military aid from Vietnam Era. Lots of it went through Japan. |
