Source for M1 Carbine magazines? - XDTalk Forums - Your HS2000/SA-XD Information Source!

Hi - anyone have first-hand experience with a good source for reliable M1 Carbine magazines?
I'm looking also for experiences on different types - surplus vs. new production, and capacity - 10-rounders, 15-rounders, and the larger ones - are they even worth considering?

Thanks
Dave

I don't own a M1 carbine but have shot several. The 30rd mags work fine, buy good ones. Here is a place that sells a bunch.

Fulton Armory GI issue mags...thats the way to go.

Don't bother with aftermarket Carbine mags...the QC is very hit and miss. I have had the best luck with the 15 rounders.

Like everything else about the M-1 Carbine...stick with original GI and you can't go wrong. You might need to replace a spring but thats about the only problem you might encounter with the M-1 Carbine magazine.

I bought a couple of 30 rounders from bushmaster when they were still selling them. These are exceptional.

When they ran out, I bought them from cheaperthandirt.com (http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/38730-47497-1336.html). Turns out they are exactly the same ones I got from Bushmaster. They are flawless, too.
