Does anyone know anything about the rare 12 round magazines that were available for the M82A1s back in Desert Storm? Anyone got any idea on what they would be worth. I cannot find to much info out there on them.
Before my time and I never saw a 12 round magazine when I started in the STA Platoon in '95, but I'm curious about them enough to watch this thread. I don't recall ever hearing of them though.
There is some info on them out there, but very little. Just says that they are rare. A friend has two of them and asked me to try and see what they were worth.
I have heard all the lore about these mags, but I have yet to actually see one. A buddy of mine (also a member here on the Hide) bought one of the USMC return rifles from Barrett, including the SLAP barrel, etc. in the late 90's early 2000 era, and he might be interested in these mags if you can figure out their value.
I don't have a clue what they'd be worth, but I too will keep an eye out on this topic as I'm interested to know more and I'll also let my buddy know about this thread just in case.
Out of curiosity, where did this friend of yours find them (or did they just happen to "follow him home" from the sandbox)?
I have no idea. I was talking to him at my FFLs shop and he brought it up. Its looking like they are too rare. I guess this can be a bad thing sometimes.
