M2 Carbine Magazines: Got Any?


Recommended Posts

I know this is Off Topic but this is the most heavily read Forum on this site so I am asking anyway. I am looking for a source of US GI only, 30 round M2 carbine mags. I see that Northridge has some M2 mags for sale and I plan to contact them to confirm if they are GI or not. If anyone knows a source for these mags please let me know. Thanks for any input!

Stay the Hell away from those USA Brand M1 carbine Mags! Talk about El-Junko. Had a few that were given to me (Thank God I didn't spend a Nickel on 'em) All Five were 30 Rounders supposedly. I could not load 7 rounds, let alone 30 in any of them! Off to my Trash they went...Stick with USGI.

I have several 30rds that are marked 'M2'...on the back at the bottom,so I assume they are actually made for the M2 carbine..and they do work well in my M2s...fwiw... http://www.machinegunbooks.com/forums/invboard1_1_2/upload/html/emoticons/wink.gif

Their not USGI...What you have are Magazines that were produced in Taiwan, and the majority of those are Junk...However, since yours is working great, I wouldn't wory about it, but thought I'd pass the info along...NO USGI 30Rd Magazines were marked "M2"..

I had a couple of non USGI's that came from Korea, they even showed flame hardening and worked great. Sadly the importer no longer has them listed.

Good ones are marked "AYP" Although I don't believe they are USGI, they do work well.

KYImports.com had them. There is also a gentleman in Ft Collins, CO that sells old stock M1 carbine parts. I can't remember his name but he sells carbine parts on EBAY under the name Folcmote, he is the only person I know of that may have USGI 30rd mags.
