I have been all over the internet looking for GOOD QUALITY magazines for my M1 Carbine. I want four 15 round mags, either USGI or new ones Here is what I have learned.
CMP and Fulton don’t sell them.
Gun show mags are nearly all inferior after-market versions and not reliable. Even ones with proper USGI markings are usually counterfeit.
Real USGI mags from internet sources are often so rusty they are useless, even if they have been in storage and were never issued. Some may be good, but it is a crap-shoot.
New after-market mags are often inferior and not reliable.
I found new ones by ProMag, but posters at THR have called them junk.

Here is a new one from an unknown manufacturer but has a guarantee.

Do you have any experience with the two I have linked or have other sources to suggest?
