M1A1 Paratrooper. Real McCoy?

If those are real and not someone's knock off, that is a great price. Even with the $15.35 shipping they tack on.

Original hardbacks NIW? That's an odd find...almost impossible.

OP. If you want a USGI 30 round magazine for the carbine

HARD BACK USGI 30 ROUND MAGAZINES, Dupage Trading

Thanks for tip AFJon. Thanks to you too Jim(s). When I get it I'll post close up pics and you guys can let me know if my 50 bux and change was well spent.

When I bought one there was only one left. Hmmm. Vewwy Intewestink.

They had some others that were split backs 90 bux sold out now. Aren't the solid backs are more collectible?

I don't know their reasoning on the prices, but I would've had the early ones at $90 and the "split backs" at $40. I guess if they had about the same quantity of each, it made no difference. - Bob

The dark spots are thickened smelly oil. What is that stuff? Zero rust spots on the metal, great condition. I was really surprised. 47 bucks. Should have bought 10.

Swiping it with a bit of grease/oil and keeping it in the paper for now.

I believe the one they pictured is authentic. Let's see if you get the exact same one, including the wrap. They probably just haven't updated their site yet. - Bob

No problem. Over on the CMP forum there was a guy that bought 20 plus...he's probably going to flip then at $60 plus each.
