Anyone have a source for M-1 Carbine mags?

[Trebor]

I need some M-1 Carbine mags for a rifle course my wife is taking next week. Coles Distributing is out. (I ordered 10 earlier and now wish I would have bought more).

Does anyone have a source for used USGI mags at a decent price? I don't want to pay $24 a mag or anything like that. They have to be GI 15 rounders though. No aftermarket mags.

I actually have 7 15 rounders, and 1200 rounds of LC; yet, I do not have a M1 Carbine yet

Look at the used ones.

This is the best deal I have seen (OOps, I just noticed they are sold out, sorry).
I think everybody knows that CMP is going to "carbine us up" next week.
I just got 3 new USGI 15 rounders on Auction Arms for $38

When CMP announced they'd received some carbines, the prices on mags went through the roof. Places where in-the-wrapper GI mags went for $15 now have $20 and up. And the good 30-rounders...

Place called whatacountry.com had some, but I haven't looked back for a while.

I bought some from Cheaper Than Dirt, and they were Rustier Than Hell.

I don't know anything about these mags but I have always had good luck with the company selling them.

How many are you looking for? 15 rnd or at least 15 rnd?

This mirrors my experience.

Try picking up a few of the "10 round GI mags, new in wrapper" on E-Bay. You may be shocked by the actual capacity.

Ideally, I'd like to get 10 mags. My wife is using a carbine in a rifle class next week and I don't want her to have to keep reloading mags all day. We already have 10 mags and 10 more would cut down on her reloading. I'll settle for 4 or 5 if I have too though.

I'm looking for either USGI 15 rounders or USGI 30 rounders. The GI 30 rounders are getting hard to find though and the 15 rounders actually work better in many cases.

ebay has a 10 round limit on mags. anything more and they kill the listing and ban the seller. I have sold "10 round" AR-15 mags on ebay that will hold about 3 times that if loaded "properly"

now that's funny!

taking advantage of the anti-crowds ignorance and using their assets to get some good magazines out there is a gas!
