The ProMag CARA1 Standard magazine transforms the M1 Carbine's firepower with a reliable 15-round capacity that maintains the rifle's classic profile. This aftermarket magazine addresses the original 15-round magazine's scarcity while providing modern shooters with enhanced feeding reliability and corrosion-resistant construction.

What Makes This Different

Unlike original WWII-era magazines that suffer from worn springs and feed lips, the ProMag CARA1 features heat-treated steel construction with precision-formed feed lips that maintain consistent cartridge presentation. The blued steel finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to parkerized originals, while the reinforced magazine body withstands repeated loading cycles without deformation. Spring tension remains consistent across the full 15-round capacity, ensuring reliable feeding from first round to last.

Key Features

  • 15-round capacity matches original M1 Carbine high-capacity magazines
  • Heat-treated carbon steel body with precision-formed feed lips
  • Corrosion-resistant blue finish outlasts parkerized alternatives
  • Compatible with all U.S. M1 Carbine variants and commercial reproductions
  • Spring-loaded follower designed for .30 Carbine cartridge geometry
  • Removable floorplate allows complete disassembly for cleaning
  • Standard GI magazine catch engagement ensures secure lockup
Range testing demonstrates consistent feeding across various .30 Carbine loads, from 110-grain FMJ to 100-grain soft points. The magazine's geometry accommodates both military surplus and modern commercial ammunition without binding or double-feeding. Competition shooters appreciate the reliable function during rapid-fire stages, while collectors value the authentic external appearance that complements restored M1 Carbines.
