source for M1 carbine magazines?

[Gendaito]

I'm looking for USGI 15rd and 30rd magazines for my M1 carbine. Does anyone know of any good sources for them? thanks in advance.

Yes! KY Imports has them, still in the old WWII greased wrapper. The first batch of 10 that I ordered were immaculate after I unwrapped them, and scrubbed the 60+ year old cosmoline off of them. The last batch of 10 that I purchased, 3 of them had a few minute specks of rust on them. These were where the wrapper had partially torn away, and exposed the steel to the environment.

Go to www.kyimports.com

They don't have an online ordering system, so you will have to call them on the phone. They have always treated me very well.

Good luck!

Cole Distributing also has mags. I think I paid $9 each for exc condition mags.
