    Default ID these mags

    8BF3909B-C139-4890-B971-C3EA801EB7CA.jpg0C461CE9-6295-465D-A778-71441B87808A.jpg3AB0BD63-150F-4A7B-91E5-15F3D6B1520A.jpgThis morning during Church I got handed a heavy Manila envelope by the nice lady in the pew in front of me. She said she found them while cleaning out her Dad’s closet ( recently deceased). Got home, opened it and found these. I’m thinking two are AK variants, confirmed the short one holds five rounds. Extrapolating by size, I assume the longer one would hold thirty.
    Third mag, looks to me like it might be .30 carbine.
    I have no weapons that fit these. I got them without charge, so let’s find a good home for them. I prefer not to ship them, and I’m in Warminster.
    Markings on back of ammo is 311 and 92.

    Yup, M1 carbine is the 3rd pic. Without scale to judge, probably 15 or 30 round. I have a bunch still wrapped in celophane and or paper.

    Did you ask her if she still has the guns? That would be *my* next step.

    The AK ammo is Chinese, possibly corrosive. '92 Chinese production was split between corrosive and non-corrosive priming, and both types were sold in the US.

    The M-1 Carbine mag pictured is 15 rounds. The 30 rounders are slightly curved. Or at least the ones I have are.

    The M1 carbine mag (if USGI) should have a 2-3 letter makers code stamped on the back , about an inch from the bottom.
