Friend of mine just paid $70 for a Sterling 40 rnd steel AR mag at a gun show. The mag has not been used, but does show signs of being inserted into a rifle.

Sounds like a lot for one mag to me - did he get ripped or was it a good deal ?

Good deal, usually sell for $90 to $100 in that condition.

Sterling 30rd mags can sell for $50 to $75 depending on condition.  Almost all the Sterling 30rd mags were parkerized steel and a very small number were mfg of blued steel which I have some in my collection.  Much like the Sterling 40rd mags the 30rd Sterling mags are scarce and sought after by the AR180 owners.

Thanks..

I was lucky enough to run into these mags a few years ago before the California Communist Ban went through. Got them for practically nothing (like $20 each). They were all in brand new condition but had some scuff marks from bulk storage so I had them all reparkerized and then I put some GF's in 'em...never used 'em though...

Here's a picture for reference...
