Going price of 20 round M-14 mags?

[pharaoh2]

Pinned of course. The damned search is useless to me, I can't find nothing with it. Thanks all.

Marstar ..... $35.00

For that price I'd buy them all. 20 round mags, not the short 5 rounders.

Yeah they have the 5/20 rounders for $35. I just ordered two tonight (along with two M1 carbine mags).

 

[pharaoh2]

Wow, I remember seeing them in SA literature for $100 a pop years back. I guess I'll change my pricing to reflect, thanks.

There is a difference between USGI pricing and aftermarket pricing. Questions to ask. Are the Marstar 5/20 mags USGI or are they aftermarket? Probably the latter. Also good to keep in mind that there are now new USGI magazines being manufactured. Can't remember the name of the company off the top of my head (thinking CMI (Check Mate Ind)) but the contract has been renewed by the US govt so these are coming available again. Original manufacture mags still pull a premium but I've noticed the prices coming down a little at the gun shows. They were over $60 each a year or so ago, I saw them this past weekend for $35 (and they were real. I checked.)

Checkmate is the only 'official' mfg. of USGI M14 magazines as far as I have ever heard...

They're hard to find.

I just sold one for $35 + shipping quite fast.

How do you know if the magazines are USGI?

Markings?

Read Different's article on identifying USGI magazines. There are a lot of fakes out there.

Norinco mags are just as good as USGI. All others apparantly suck.

I'm assuming that this is what marstar carries, norinco magazines?

I bought 4 NIB USGI for $200 shipped.
