Description

This lot consists of a group of 5 USGI style 30-round magazines compatible with AR-15, M16, and M4 firearm platforms chambered in .223 Remington and 5.56mm NATO. The collection includes three magazines featuring a gray Parkerized-style finish with NHMTG markings and two magazines featuring a black finish marked Duramag. The magazines are of stamped metal construction with a standard curved 30-round profile and include anti-tilt followers. Baseplate markings on three examples identify them as .223 cal/5.56 mm NHMTG S/42 Hartford, CT. The remaining two magazines feature baseplates marked Duramag SS C Products Defense. Four of the magazines currently contain visible ammunition featuring cartridges with red sealant around the projectile and primer interface. The magazines show visible signs of service wear including finish thinning at contact points, surface scuffing, and light oxidation on some interior components. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The magazines are in good used condition. The gray magazines show moderate finish wear, surface scratches, and thinning consistent with insertion and extraction from a magazine well. The black Duramag examples show light handling marks and minor finish scuffing. Interior components and springs appear functional, though light surface oxidation is present on some followers and interior walls. Ammunition appears live with intact primers and case seals. Action function has not been independently verified.
