Description
This lot consists of five Brownells 30-round magazines designed for use with AR-15 and M16 pattern rifles chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO or .223 Remington. Each magazine features a lightweight aluminum body with a distinctive curved profile typical of 30-round capacity units, finished in a matte gray dry-film lubricant. These magazines are equipped with corrosion-resistant stainless steel springs for reliable feeding and enhanced durability. Every unit is individually sealed in its original clear plastic factory packaging. The yellow cardstock headers are prominently marked with the Brownells logo, a bighorn sheep graphic, and the American flag. Verbatim text on the packaging headers includes BROWNELLS, 30-ROUND AR-15/M16 MAGAZINE, With Stainless Steel Spring, and MADE IN THE U.S.A. These magazines represent standard USGI-pattern equipment suitable for a wide variety of modern sporting rifles. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
All five magazines are in new-in-packaging condition. The gray finish on the aluminum bodies appears consistent and intact as seen through the plastic, displaying only minor surface variations typical of factory dry-film lubricant application. The clear plastic bags and yellow cardstock headers show only light shelf wear, with no significant tears or moisture damage noted. All springs and followers appear correctly positioned, though mechanical function has not been independently verified.
