I just bought an M1 carbine 30rnd magazine yesterday at a gun shop. Someone had just traded it in and I picked it up for $10. I didn't need it but the price seemed right.
I'm usually pretty good at finding info on the internet but just can't find much about carbine mags this morning. The only thing I could find was a reference to "hard-back one piece" and "split-back two piece" magazines. I'm almost certain this one is USGI. It's grey in color and marked with a "J" on the lower back.
Does anyone know for sure that this is USGI, anything about manufacturer, type?
Thanks in advance for any info.
