Description
This lot consists of a group of three detachable box magazines for sporting rifles. Included are two polymer-base Ruger magazines specifically designed for firearms chambered in 7.62x39mm, such as the Ruger Mini-30 or American Rifle series. These magazines feature steel bodies with polymer floorplates and followers, displaying the Ruger phoenix logo. The third item is a blued steel magazine manufactured in Italy by Mec-Gar, a prominent OEM supplier. This magazine is marked for use with .270 Weatherby Magnum and 7mm Remington Magnum cartridges. Key markings include the Ruger phoenix logo on the base plates along with RUGER and CAL. 7.62×39. The steel magazine is stamped ITALY on the side and .7RM and 270 WBY. MAG. near the feed lips. These magazines represent common replacement or spare components for their respective rifle platforms. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The magazines are in good used condition. The two Ruger units show minor scuffing on the polymer floorplates and light finish wear on the steel bodies from insertion into a magazine well. The Mec-Gar steel magazine shows more pronounced surface wear, thinning of the bluing, and scattered light oxidation or spotting on the exterior surfaces. The feed lips on all three appear straight and undamaged, and the followers move freely under spring tension.
