I am looking for some clarification as I am pretty unfamiliar with milsurp type rifles and can't find much about this online. I was told that certain M1 Carbines often have issues with 30 round magazines if the mag latch is not of the proper type. I am unable to find much info on this but since I trust the source I am curious if I will have any issues using 30 round magazines with new production Auto-Ordnance rifles. I have two on the way as well as several dozen magazines so I am looking to nip any potential issues in the bud here...
Any Issues with Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbines and 30 Round Magazines?

Not that you can load 30 rnds in a mag anymore but back in the good old days I never had a problem.
Shot lots of full capacity 30 rnd mags out of several surplus carbines back in the day .
All had the standard mag catch .

I have confirmed that it has the extra latch point for the 30 round mags. It will be a while until I get my 5/30 mags but I am guessing all will be well. I understand I can't use the 30 round mags in proper form in this country legally but since I often travel to the US and am comfortable filling out an NIA form 6 this is a concern.

30 rnd full load mags work fine without it .
At least they did before the government banned them
