ProMag CAR02 M1 Carbine Magazine 5rd .30 Carbine Blued Steel

The ProMag CAR02 delivers reliable feeding for M1 Carbine rifles with a compact 5-round capacity that maintains the classic profile. This aftermarket magazine provides shooters with an alternative to original GI magazines while preserving the traditional look and feel of the legendary .30 Carbine platform.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard 15 or 30-round magazines, the CAR02's 5-round design offers compliance advantages in restricted states while maintaining quick reloads. The blued steel construction provides corrosion resistance superior to parkerized finishes. Heat-treated steel components ensure consistent spring tension and feeding geometry that matches original specifications.

Key Features

• 5-round capacity ideal for hunting and restricted jurisdictions
• Blued steel construction resists corrosion and wear
• Compatible with all standard U.S. M1 Carbine variants
• Heat-treated internal components for reliable feeding
• Traditional profile maintains rifle's classic appearance
• Spring-loaded follower ensures consistent cartridge presentation
• Removable floorplate for easy cleaning and maintenance

Field testing shows consistent feeding with both military surplus and commercial .30 Carbine ammunition. The reduced capacity makes this magazine suitable for precision shooting where controlled fire is preferred over volume. The blued finish matches period-correct restorations while providing modern reliability standards.
