WTB: 20 and 30rd USGI Pre-Ban Magazines

Marketplace Member Sales Forum

With the recent P-Mag boom, your gain can be the gain of someone not so fortunate. Right now, there are scores of AR-15 shooters living in ban states, (like Massachusetts) who cannot wake to a morning of P-Mag goodness. They are restricted by arcane laws to only having pre-ban magazines. Won’t you help? For just 30-cents a day… :wink:

If you’re cleaning out the range box and have pre-ban, non date coded USGI 20 or 30rd magazines, we can have them here and I know of folks who can use them. NIW is a bonus, but if they’re in good shape, function and are sanely priced, drop me a PM…Thanks for caring and enjoy your P-Mag freedom! :smiley:

Thanks Doc - you guys have all been just awesome. Figured I’d bump this up again for anyone looking to thin their herd of pre-ban USGI Ar-15 30’s and 20’s. There’s particular interest in 20’s, so if you have some, drop me a PM and I’ll find them a home fast…I thank you.

What’re used Colt 20 rounders going for nowadays? I think I have a few in one of my “boxes o’ misc gun stuff” in the garage.

13

I’ve been getting them anywhere from $10-18.00 so far - $20.00 on some that were literally NIW. Let me know what you have and thanks so much…

Mopar - thanks for your PM - sent you one back…

KL - Thanks to you too from a fellow Buckeye fan…(OSU 1984-88) PM sent…

I’ll dig around and see what I can come up with for those trapped behind enemy lines. :wink:

Which mags were generally made without date stamping?
That IS exactly what you are looking for, correct? I mean, were ALL mags made during the ban stamped with a date?
IOW’s, ANY MAG made BEFORE the ban will not have a date?
How about mags made AFTER the ban, from 2004 and up? Are they generally made with date stampings, or are there some with NO date stamping, which were made after 2004?
I know all my PMAGS and D&H Mags have dates, but I’m just trying to figure this out, so I can possibly help in the near future.
Thanks.

Ben - Thank you so much - consider them sold!

Paul: Thanks so much for your reply! Generally, post 1994 high caps were date coded, or marked LEO only - still many are unmarked. Obviously, we can’t be trusted with P-Mags, or newer USGI’s, so what I look for is older mags from LaBelle, Cooper, Okay, Colt, etc…If there’s no date codes on the floorplates or mag bodies and are not new manufacture, we’re generally GTG. An almost sure-win is USGI’s with black followers - they seem to all be pre-ban. In a strange twist, magazine parts are not illegal here in Massachusetts - not even by a long shot. Some are buying newer complete mags disassembled into “rebuild kits”… go figure…This state is crazy man…crazy…

18

Oh yeah, I’m fully aware of the rebuild kits. That needs to be kept on the hush, so they don’t pass crap legislation against those too…

I have 7 30rders that are lightly used, 3 30rds that are new in wrapper and 3 20 rnders. PM sent
