The ProMag CAR01 delivers reliable feeding for M1 Carbine enthusiasts seeking consistent performance from their classic .30 Carbine rifles. This 10-round magazine maintains the traditional capacity while providing modern manufacturing quality. Built with blued steel construction, it offers durability that matches the robust nature of the M1 Carbine platform.
What Makes This Different

The spring tension maintains consistent feeding pressure across all 10 rounds, reducing the feeding issues common with cheaper alternatives. Quality control standards ensure each magazine meets dimensional specifications for proper fit in M1 Carbine receivers.
