Value of a new in box Colt AR15 magazine from 1970?

[Joe Link]

I bought a Colt AR15 a few years ago and included with it was this new in box 20-round Colt magazine dated 2/70. Wondering if it might be worth anything to a collector, any ideas?

Not really worth anything.

But I can dispose of it for you?

Judging from the rear profile it doesn't appear to be a waffle style, but with the original Army issue box I'd say $75.

Made by Universal Industries.

Yes it is a great mag for shooting off the bench or prone. I have several Colt AR-15 marked
GI straight 20 round mags. The Highpower competition shooters use these. As for collector item?
Don't Know. I rebuilt mine with new springs and followers. We need 4 of these for the 2 strings of
rapid fire sitting and 2 strings of rapid fire prone. Load magazines 2 and 8 rounds. Mandatory
reload required. So if I ever get in a gun fight with my AR I will be loaded out at 2 and 8.

I don't think it would have much of any value. There are just too many of them out there. If user 1234 is actually offering you $75.00 I'd let him have it. And, smile all the way to the bank.

It's worth about $10 to me, but I'd shot it and drop it the dirt and use the box to help start the campfire.

I'd have to change that black follower too.

If it says "Colt" and it's NIB and 49years old.......it's collectable

...a whole lot more that it normally would be if sb501 becomes law

Oh man. You opened it. Had you not $1M easy.
