    30 Round Magazine Marking

    I've run across a 30 round magazine with what looks like a small m over a small w on the lower back. I've seen it documented by the Carbine Club in the past but haven't found the reference yet. Hoping someone will point me in the right direction.

    Bill, Riesch's 6th edition, page 141, shows it listed under Miscellaneous Type IV. I thought I've also seen it mentioned in a Carbine Club newsletter, but maybe not. If it was, I was hoping someone would remember where.
