you did ok!
keep it in good shape and it will only
go up in value over the years as it was
made by a non-gun manufacturer of note.
there are niche collectors for this type thing.
I have several 30 round mags for my national postal meter recievered M1 and it has always worked flawlessly.The only thing I can recommend is that you count how many rounds you put in the mag ,I've (on several occasions)put 1 to many in and it wont feed correctly.Other than that I say , Big mag, little gun , always cool looking! Also ,WHERE DID YOU FIND 3 - 30 ROUND MAGS FOR 32 BUCKS? shawn
USGI mags for that price = excellent deal, Commercial aftermarket copies may be a waste of money. Mant commercial 30 rd mags will not function properly, you will just have to try one and see
heres the link
One is unmarked, in new condition retaining 99% finish. One is marked SEY and retains 90% finish with scattered light rust spotting. One is marked ‘MADE IN U.S.A.” is in new condition and retains 99% finish with no dents, strong springs, the followers move freely and the feed lips are not deformed. Soon, high capacity magazines may be banned again making existing ones extremely valuable. Before bidding: Please see high capacity magazine shipping details and restrictions below. .

Yup, he's right, I found that I burn up ammo 3.7 sec faster with my 30 round clip than I do with two 15 rounders. Guess I'm slow on the clip change...

Do I smell the essence of John Wayne here?
One well placed shot is worth 30 sprays; but everyone who owns a carbine should have at least one 30-rounder for posterity.

Hee Hee, maybe pilgrim. Just a little friendly sarcasm. When I go and shoot my carbine, no matter how many rounds I decide to fire, if I use 15 round clips or 30 round clips to fire those rounds seems irrelevant to how fast I burn up ammo. But thats just me....

I own several 30-rounders but seldom use them. Just one caution on the larger cap mags; beware the ones with a split back-bone (or two piece back-bone). Cartridges have been known to catch at the split and hang-up causing a failure to feed (most likely a magazine coil more than the actual cartridge). I say this from experience and from various articles I've read. It's best to stick with the one piece back-bone.
Mosineer, I can't agreemore...the little guy is alotta fun.
