M14 M1A Mags are a scaresity now

[Riflechair]

I have a M14S with no mag...
I can't seem to source a mag for this rifle anywhere!

Bugger!

Surely there isn't a shortage of mags now?
Not too long ago mags were available pretty well anywhere.

or perhaps that pirate Skullboy has them all

You do business with Communist China(by buying their products) but you wont do business with Lever arms? Hmmm

[Recce21]

Hmmmmm hmmmmm mmmmm mmmmmmmmm

Sorry, just wanted to fit in.

 

[Mauser GDog]

I saw some on the EE for $45 each, now I know how he is justifying that price.

 

[millwright]

Hmmmm hmmmmmmm really?

I wasn't super impressed with lever arms service, but they were the only store I could find any of the 5/20s in stock, and actually a good price as well.

Are the mags from Lever pinned or do they use a follower to block the rounds to 5?

I ordered a M14 5/20 mag (They are pinned BTW) on friday last week and got it on monday this week, excellent service from them!

The mags that came with my M305 are a blackish colour, and the one i got from Lever is gun metal grey. Polytech vs norinco perhaps?

I think Pullen's gunsmithing had a couple for sale in Victoria

Pinned. The ones I bought all functioned fine and loaded 5 rounds easily

Also dropped into Lever to grab 4 5/20, they had a few boxes full on the floor. Im in Vancouver so easy for me to drop in. Priced at 25 each, and pinned, all can fit 5 1/2 rounds so a good setup. All fit my JAE G2, Troy MCS and AKM with no problem. The 5 rounders are way to hard to get out of the mentioned stocks.

Darn... I should snag a few for myself! Thanks for the heads up there, Warrdogg!

I've got one of the rivet pinned black-ish 5/20 from canstar and it won't feed 5 rounds in a row without the follower binding in the body of the mag. The remaining rounds will just fall out of the mag if held upside down after the malfunction.
