    M1 Carbine Mag Mfr ID Question

    Attachment 14641Attachment 14642Does anyone out there know who the manufacturer/origin is for 30 rd carbine mags marked "UU", and "NVS"? I assume they are commercial/foreign made aftermarket mags.

    Thanks for any assistance.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The middle one and the UU in the second picture are both the new Korean made. The four rivet holes on the back give it away. I bought a bunch of them and they are very reliable. Good pricess on them now, too.

    Try and score the ones where the indentations follow the curve of the mag itself.

    Wish I could find some of those "hardbacks" Mikey. They seem to appreciate while my IRA tanks.
