The backstory: After years of effort, our Supplier has been successful in securing a large lot of U.S. made M1 Carbine Magazines and MidwayUSA has purchased all of them! These M1 Magazines have not been arsenal refurbished. Per our Supplier, these are believed to have come directly from use in the European theatre of WWII, eventually making their way to the Italian Armed forces and have been in storage since the early 1950s. There are no records indicating how the Italian Armed Forces came into possession of these WWII M1 Magazines.
This Military Surplus M1 Carbine Magazine is one of many millions of magazines manufactured and shipped between June 1942 and August 1945 to our Armed Forces. This magazine is unissued and in original wrapping, but we were unable to positively identify the prime contractor from the packaging, and did not want to damage the packaging to identify them. These magazines may have been produced through any of the following prime contractors, including Winchester, Inland, Saginaw, International Business Machine, and Government Direct Purchase, and will bear their stamp on the magazine: .
Magazines were originally shipped to the US Ordnance Department in 100 count boxes containing individually wrapped magazines. These magazines were wrapped in a variety of paper or fiber materials, some with additional markings on the wrapper, some without. It is very uncommon to find M1 Carbine Magazines in their original packaging, so we've chosen to leave these intact in their wrapping. The condition of the magazine inside the wrapping is therefore unknown.
