Preban AR Mags

[chindogg]

I was looking for replacement springs and came across a sweet deal for Preban 30 rounders. Talked to them and unfortunately will only sell to an FFL in MA. You know the BS companies in other states don't want to deal with.... Any FFLs here want to work something out? You could make a killing reselling these things!

I wonder if you got a C&R (or anyone's) he would play...?

 

[Reptile]

What kind of pre bans are they?

All one brand, or a mix?

What condition are they in?

 

[Amerry223]

Do you have a buddy in a nearby state like NH that you could have the company mail them to? If not, i might be able to help you out.

 

[deerdad]

Curious on these as well.

FFLs here already sell pre-ban mags, don’t they? I could have sworn I saw them in some well known local stores.

Also, there are members here that sell them. More than one have them for a reasonable price, and there are a couple that are selling them for an astronomical sum (at least in my mind).

The more Pre-Ban magazines of any type brought into Massachusetts can only be a "Good Thing"...

I wish there were so many, I had to watch where I stepped.

Too bad they are not 20 rounders. I never really cared for 30 round AR mags, they stick down to far. And one box of ammo per mag fits my budget a little better.

theres a shit ton of prebans here. Just most hang onto them and take them with them when they escape

To bad this vendor does not understand pre ban.

Could be worse. Isn't it Palmetto that won't ship anything?

Those nice alloy-follower 20's are my favorite too...

Anyone ever try the steel British mags? They look decent

I'm an FFL. PM me

This. They should be so common you can get them for the same price as new manufacture p-mags in free states.

Yep Simmonds/ Universal came with alloy followers.

Not my favorite. The bodies and floor plates seem thinner than standard USGI 30's. But they work and are around.
My concern with the thinness is durability of feed lips and increased chance of failure due to denting.
They are also one of the most difficult mags to disassemble for cleaning/inspection. The floorplate/body tabs just don't interface smoothly.

I'm going to pass. These are CETME mags. I've tried them before and found they make excellent targets.

Oh yeah, I have some CETME mags, they're not great.

They're STANAG in theory, in reality they are a tight fit, jam, usually steel, and have an abrasive coating, and dont bolt hold open without swapping for a new follower.

 

[Coda]

So they are CETME mags? I have no idea what the OP's sweet deal is, but APEX usually has these for 8 bucks, 7 bucks for 10 or more.

 

[Fixxah]

Soon to be available for $100 each in classifieds. Next to $900 lowers.

For the CETME mags that would only be a $92 profit on an $8 investment. That is not nearly enough profit for the average NES classified preban flipper.

Lol not sure why anyone would venture into that crap when theres plenty of USGI stuff everywhere...

Exactly........ There are plenty of USGI 20 rounders out there which are what most people are looking for.

The package reminds me of the Roman sword I saw for sale. Stamped 42 B.C.

Nothing suggests NOT PRE BAN more then that wrapper does. Bait and switch
