Description

This lot consists of a single 100-round high-capacity helical magazine manufactured by Calico Light Weapons Systems for use with their 9mm caliber firearms, such as the M900 carbine and M950 pistol. The magazine is constructed of a durable black polymer and features a distinctive cylindrical, longitudinally ribbed body with an integrated top rail. This rail serves as an ammunition indicator, containing a series of circular witness holes. Verbatim molded numerical markings adjacent to these holes include 9, 23, 37, 50, 84, and 96. The rear of the unit is fitted with a characteristic black-finished winding handle used to manually tension the internal helical spring mechanism for operation. The front feed section reveals a bright red polymer follower and integrated metal feed lip components. The item is presented in overall good condition and is resting on a plain cardboard storage box.


Condition report:

The magazine is in good physical condition with minor surface wear consistent with handling. The polymer exterior shows some light scuffs and a minor accumulation of dust within the recessed ribs. The winding handle rotates freely and provides spring tension to the internal drive system. The red follower is intact and moves smoothly through the feed channel. No structural cracks or significant damage were observed on the housing or the end caps.
