SEY 30 rd. New In the Wrap

[Mikey51]

I think it would be best for me to send pics of my K I "hardbacks', to Bill Ricca, or the Carbine Club, for their very well educated consideration. I am not sure if these mags are right myself. Got no guys to discuss them with. I don't want to help the humpers by posting pics, for them to copy off. Comment .. some of the stuff I find is 50's, 60's, Korea, Malaya, Vietnam, Borneo etc. Cheers, Mike. N.Z.

He would be the man. Last intel is that nobody humps the hardbacks yet


...that sounded dirty somehow...

I have been detailed checking each US 30 round magazine. Unfortunately I cannot let loose the details due to the hump artists.

One maker has a characteristic that applies to approx 70% of its production. I was at a gun show a few years ago, and a dealer had a little over a dozen of this maker. I inquired and naturally he said they were GI. He told me he had gotten them from a dealer in the mid-west that had several hundred of them, who got them in a surplus bid. I asked him how many were wrapped and for the other makers' markings and he told me they were all this maker marking and none were in the wrap. I knew immediately they were fakes. When new items are released as surplus, they come out of long term storage and some are still wrapped for storage. Furthermore I knew it was a lie because the large capacity magazines had already been banned at the Federal level.

I looked and none of them had the characteristic that was present in 70% of production.
