Thermold M1A/Norinco M14 Magazines

[Runt]

Hello CGN'ers

Any one know where I can buy some Thermold magazines & have a opinion of how well they work?


Thanks

Wanstalls had a bunch about a year ago. Were about 30 bucks. I bought a couple however didn't much care for them. The spring is a shortened one that sits on the pin (5rd). I found it caused binding and feeding issues due to the spring modification. I tried a standard gi mag spring hoping that once the pin was reinserted, would alleviate the binding due to the longer length but the spring shape wouldn't fit in the body of the mag.

Hope that helps

Same here, the one I got last year from SFRC were jam-o-matic
For the same price get Norinco mags, they work well in my M1A

They probably work fine without a rivet, but thanks to Mulrooney and the previous PC government we have to bastardize our mags. (I see gang bangers with pinned mags all the time)

The spring is actually only about half the length of the mag. If the pin "fell out" the mag is inoperable.

Saw a bunch at reliable last week, even one of the guys that worked there didn't seem to impressed by them.
