10 round mag
I'm looking on eBay for some magazines and I'm seeing ones that look like 30 round and they say 10 round in the description. Also no 15 round mags. Are there 10 round mags or are they just saying this for some eBay rules?
Thanks jb

I was wondering the same thing? I haven't bid on any but just may for the heck of it.

Ebay rules state no mags over 10rd.
Note pictures closely....... look for GI markings, Here's a old link with markings. Probably not 100%, but will give you an idea:
M1 / M2 Carbine Magazine FAQ
There were never any USGI mags made for 5 or 10rd, just 15 and 30.

Re: 10 round mag
They are legit. Ive bought many USGI mags from ebay sellers. As long as they are not listed as holding more ebay leaves it alone. People put 10 rnds in the descrption to keep ebay from closing the listing .During the past couple weeks people were listing 30,40 even 100 round drums and ebay was closing them left and right. I would say if they are marked USGI they are original unless the listing states California leagal, then they are 10. Of course your still taking a chance, could be pinned. You could always ask the seller if its original USGI
***Let me clarify my post, I'm saying they are USGI mags, not that people are violating ebay policy ***

If you had bought your carbine and mags before Jan 1 2000 you are grand fathered in and can have them in California. Same with high cap pistol mags owned before that date. After Jan 1 2000 California has been restricted to allowing only 10 round magazines.
I have never been asked at the range. Most guys are just fasinated by seeing a carbine. You get a lot of questions.
The GI mags I see listed do not looked pinned. I am thinking the sellers only say that to keep their listing from being removed. But they are not allowed to sell from or ship to California.

I know I bought a demilled Carbine on eBay a couple weeks ago and they yanked it off right as I was paying for it. I guess they weren't happy with the proof that it was demilled.

Pull this stuff now!
Hi: Have been traveling and not looking much here recently, and I owe a post. However, hope I don't offend anyone, but these kinds of posts on this topic need to be pulled immediately from this site.
It can be found with a rather easy internet search, just a few clicks. We need not be giving the other side ammo. We don't want this info appearing on news websites, television and the like. We have a wonderful hobby and the internet has enriched it greatly. Making a carbine correct, finding original ones, etc.
For instance check this thread:
Please moderators out there, consider what I'm saying then go thru and pull all such content now! We know these type of things are not true but as you see recently, clear facts are not being listed around current laws and practices, what is really going on, etc. Thanks!
