[Coltgrabber]

As stated what are the 30 round carbine mags marked "M2" going for nowadays?

[bob loughlin]

If they are M2 over KI or AI , They are USGI WW-II mags . If just M2 , they are after market . I get $ 25.00 to $ 35.00 for like new aftermarket . Close to 4 times that for USGI WW-II 30 rounders . Bob

As long as they have "the notch".
I've seen fake "SEY" mags for sale.
I have one in my collection of fakes.
