The ProMag CARA2 magazine transforms the M1 Carbine from a 15-round platform into a high-capacity tactical rifle. This 30-round magazine extends range time and tactical applications while maintaining the reliability shooters expect from quality aftermarket accessories.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 15-round M1 Carbine magazines, the CARA2 doubles capacity without compromising feeding reliability. The blued steel construction provides superior durability compared to aluminum alternatives, with heat-treated steel components rated for thousands of loading cycles. The extended body design maintains proper spring tension across the full 30-round capacity, ensuring consistent feeding from first round to last.
Key Features
- 30-round capacity doubles standard M1 Carbine magazine capacity
- Blued steel construction resists corrosion and wear
- Heat-treated steel spring maintains consistent tension
- Drop-free design enables rapid reloads
- Compatible with all U.S. M1 Carbine variants and reproductions
- Anti-tilt follower prevents jams and misfeeds

Range sessions become more productive with fewer magazine changes, while competitive shooters benefit from extended capacity during multi-target stages. The magazine functions reliably in tactical carbine courses where rapid follow-up shots are essential. Law enforcement agencies appreciate the increased firepower for patrol carbines, and collectors value the authentic military appearance that complements vintage M1 Carbines.
