Hey Folks,

U.S.G.I M1 Carbine 15 Round Magazine- New Old Stock

Tired of those crappy Korean mags jamming and causing issues in your M1 carbine? USGI originals are the way to go. Originally packaged in cases of 100, these were intended to be loaded by the soldier in the field using ammo on 10 round clips. These are in fantastic shape, and still have a light...

You guys are making me feel old. I remember buying Mosin Nagants and Turkish Mausers for $50 in the late '90s, and SKSs for not much more. I paid $120 for my M1 Carbine in the late '80s. I remember seeing 100 pc boxes of 15 rnd GI mags at gun show for something like a buck and a half apiece.

I remember a time when I was really worried about how much a k98k or matching SKS or a Garand is. These days, my portfolio makes enough in a day to buy 10 of each of those, so I'm not that worried.

In 1968 you could get an M-16 for free from the government. They would even throw in a free vacation in the tropics.

I think that program is still running. You get a M4, and can pick any ..stan you want as your destination.

Isn't it funny how that works? I occasionally think about how I could've/should've bought one gun or another back in the day when they were cheap, but when I think it through I realize it doesn't matter.

We can say that a dollar is a dollar, but it's more subjective than that. A 1990 dollar is equivalent to about $2 today, and those dollars mean very different things to different people. If you have substantial disposable income, spending $1000 doesn't mean much to you, but when you're living paycheck to paycheck it's a very big deal.

My life right now is raising a family and paying medical bills, but we don't live paycheck to paycheck like I did long ago. Money is still tight, but I could easier afford a $500 gun now than I could a $100 gun in 1990.

There are two SEY (Seymore Products) 30 rounders for sale on this forum for $75 each, those are USGI and way less than the going rate on gunbroker. I also have an ad up for a bunch of almost junk 30 rounders and a couple well used 15 round WWll vintage mags.
