Just wanted to know where everyone is buying their M1 carbine mags? I'm interested in buying a few & looked in the EE but I'm always too late. Any help would be appreciated. Looking for mostly 15rd mags but if anyone knows of any good 30rd mags, I would be interested in those also.

I got myself two orders of these and they have been ok a little rust on a couple but 4 looked brand new and the mag pouch's are brand new. And not to bad of a price $29.97 for 4 -15 round mags and 2 pouchs and 4 dust covers.

Where did all the USGI 30's go?

There must be some out there.

Hey EARRNHARDT3,
Thanks for the heads up. I just noticed those in the new flyer I just received & I was wondering if they were any good. Thanks for the review. I think I'll try some.

Good question, I have seen very few a gun shows, when you find one, they are usually pretty beat up, and are around $30 each.

The 15 rounders are still pretty common in these parts. Most shops that stock military stuff will have them and the gunshows always have them. The 30's are a bit harder to find. Probably not as many of those built or released.

I have three sets ordered, they should be here on Wednesday. I'm not expecting much, but couldn't pass them up for this price. Sounds like it might be a pretty good deal.

I've bought a bunch of carbine mags from www.coledistributing.com.

10 'very good' mags for $70 is a great deal, and I've been very happy with the condition of the mags. Their 'very good' mags look almost new to me. A few of them had a small spot of surface rust, but most of them only show light insertion marks. I wonder what their 'excellent' mags look like?

+1 for Cole Distributing.

I received my Sportsman's Guide package today. The mags are about what I expected, not much. I'll clean them up tomorrow, but they don't look very good. All are rusty, and a couple have major dents.

After I degrease, remove the dents, bead blast and parkerize the mags will be useable, but it's not really worth the time/effort. I just ordered 20 more mags from Cole's. [:D

I also got my second set of mags and they look like shit!!! The first set i got looked great but these i am very unhappy with. Alot of rust. Four have been reparked at some time and you can tell they where really rusty when they where parkerized. No dents in my four thou.

Thanks again for the heads up guys. I ordered 5 sets 3 days ago but was told they were on backorder until the end of May. Then today I received a message that they would ship in two weeks. I sent them a message asking to cancel my order. I think I'll just order them from Coles. Thanks for all the responses everyone.

I also found that J&G sales haw NIW USGI mags for $15 each, if anyone is interested.
