Worst Korea?

Republic of Korea.  It's an issue M16 mag.

Curious if it is steel? Looks like a couple rust spots on the bottom.

Any way we can get pictures of the sides also? Thanks

Korean characters. Korean magazine.

I need one of these for my Daewoo.

Going with Korean, not Chinese characters.  If it north or south Korea no idea but going with South Korea.

Same here

I do love being a part of this board.

It's S. Korea army issue, Ive got a 30rd version.

Pretty sure they were manufactured here, then shipped over to the S. Korean's.

I am with you Galilman121 - lots of good people here.

It is South Korean. The North doesn't make or market M16 style stuff that I am aware of. They are all AK, or home grown.

South Korea has a very active arms industry. If you recall, they started making the K2 rifle because Colt wouldn't let them make the M16 under license. Better for S. Korea. And they make the mags for their own rifles as well. Notice it is designed like the early Colt M16 mags, in that the base plate is retained by a spring clip, which you have to depress before sliding off the floor plate. Current US manufactured G.I. mags do not have this feature any more. Heck, this may be a mag from 20 years ago?? I don't read S. Korean.

Had my Korean girlfriend translate the Korean. The middle characters, between M16A1 and 5.56, she can read, but does not know what it means. She thinks it MIGHT be a manufacturer? Phonetically it sounds like "Qug-young" They may have sub contractors just like we do. The bottom line says "Republic of Korea" (which means South Korea).

This.

Fits K1 & K2 Daewoo service rifle too

Nice find for a Daewoo owner!

I have a 30 rounder with a South Korean base plate.  Black follower and finish worn off and lthe body turned gold like they used to do back in the day.

It was a very VERY nice snag for a Daewoo guy!

I have the 30 round Daewoo mag and have been searching everywhere for these, so I am glad to have friends on this board.

(Scored a as new Daewoo bipod and K-M8A1 scabbard the other day, just need my K-M7 bayonet and sling now.)
