Gun Collectors Dream Auction #88 December 5th & 6th
Lot 1307:
Description
This lot consists of a pair of firearm magazines designed for the M1A and M14 pattern rifles chambered in .308 Winchester or 7.62x51mm NATO. These magazines are constructed from polished stainless steel and feature a standard vertical reinforcement rib along the box body. Each magazine is equipped with a black polymer follower and a metal locking lug assembly that is spot-welded to the rear spine. Technical markings include the manufacturer stamp C.M.I. on the lower rear of the magazine bodies, identifying them as production from Check-Mate Industries. The magazines are presented in a 10-round flush or near-flush configuration. One magazine shows residue from a previously applied label on the upper right side. Also included is a handwritten note on lined paper identifying the items as M1A Mags.
Condition report:
Both magazines are in good functional condition. The stainless steel finish is bright with minor surface scuffing and handling marks consistent with light use. One magazine has significant adhesive and paper residue from a removed label on the upper exterior. The polymer followers show minimal wear, and the feed lips are straight and intact. No significant dents, deep pitting, or oxidation are visible on the magazine bodies. The spring tension appears strong, and the floorplates are securely seated.
