Lot 107:
A Collection of Ten M16/M16A1 Magazines and .22 LR Conversion Clips including Simmonds Precision Products
Sold for: $65
Description
This lot comprises a group of ten magazine components designed for the AR-15 and M16 platforms, featuring components for both standard 5.56mm use and conversion to .22 Long Rifle. The primary item is an aluminum 20-round capacity magazine chambered for 5.56mm NATO, featuring a grey Parkerized-style finish. Verification of the floorplate markings shows a square logo containing the letter S followed by the text M16/M16A1 CAL. 5.56 MM, UNIVERSAL INDS. DIV., SIMMONDS PREC. PROD. INC., and WEST HAVEN, CONN. U.S.A. Accompanying this magazine is a group of nine conversion clips to .22 LR, which are black-finished magazine inserts consistent with the M261 conversion kit adapters used by the U.S. military. These adapters feature a T-shaped upper profile with vertical reinforcing ribs and are designed to seat within a standard magazine body for rimfire training applications. The collection displays physical characteristics consistent with used military surplus, including visible surface abrasions, finish thinning at contact points, and minor handling marks typical of used components.
Condition report:
The items are in used surplus condition, showing wear consistent with age and service. The Simmonds 5.56mm magazine exhibits moderate finish thinning and superficial scratches on the aluminum body, while the floorplate markings remain clear and legible. The nine .22 LR conversion inserts show varying degrees of finish wear on the black coating, with some minor surface oxidation and handling marks present. All components appear mechanically intact with functional springs and feed lips, though the lot has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
