Description

A Collection of 5 detachable box magazines consistent with those used in the M1 Carbine .30 Caliber, These are high-capacity, likely 20-round magazines, featuring a distinctive curved profile and black metal construction. They are designed for semi-automatic or automatic rifle use. Three of the magazines clearly display the stamped marking Rw near the baseplate. All magazines feature pairs of witness holes along the sides. It is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure compliance with all local, state, and federal firearms laws, especially regarding high-capacity magazines.
Condition: Condition varies significantly across the lot of five magazines. Two of the magazines retain a good amount of their original glossy blued finish, showing only minor handling marks and light surface scratches. The remaining three magazines show heavy wear, significant finish loss, and a matte, worn appearance. The right-most standing magazine exhibits heavy surface rust and pitting, particularly visible on the upper half and feed lips. The two magazines placed horizontally also show areas of pitting and finish wear consistent with long-term storage or heavy use. Functionality has not been tested, but springs and followers appear present in all units.
