M1 Carbine Magazine
This United Defense magazine feeds the M1 Carbine, the .30 Carbine rifle many collectors and shooters still take to the range. It is made to the MIL-SPEC pattern, so it follows the military's own design for the part. That makes it a straightforward spare or replacement for owners who want a magazine that looks and fits like the original.
Features
- Built To MIL-SPEC Pattern — Mil-spec means it is made to the military's published standard for the part rather than a maker's own interpretation of it.
- M1 Carbine Fit — The magazine is designed for M1 Carbine rifles chambered in .30 Carbine.
- Straight Box Body — A compact, straight profile keeps the magazine short below the rifle and easy to stow in a pouch or pocket.
- Pressed Reinforcing Ribs — Two vertical ribs stamped into the face stiffen the body walls against flex and dents.
- Metal Construction — The body is formed from sheet metal, following the construction of the original carbine magazines.
- Black Finish — A glossy black finish covers the body and matches the look of traditional carbine magazines.
- Commercial Manufacture — United Defense produces this magazine commercially, so it does not come from army surplus stocks.
Fit and Compatibility
Because it follows the military pattern, this magazine is intended for rifles built to the original M1 Carbine specification in .30 Carbine. The straight body and ribbed metal walls copy the layout of the issue design, so it seats and handles as a carbine owner would expect. It works as a backup for range days or as a replacement for a worn magazine.

Well made magazineI wanted an original magazine that looked good and fit tight. This magazine is exactly like WW II magazines. The spring tension is right with good ammunition feed and the magazine fits perfectly with no wobble.
The fit and finish are perfect with a great price.

They work perfectly

Beats the Korean reprosI've been running a mix of mags in my Inland M1, mostly those cheap Korean 15-rounders and a couple old USGI that are beat to heck. The Korean ones always gave me nose-dive jams on the last 2 rounds, drove me nuts. Picked up one of these United Defense mags to test and honestly it's night and day. The steel feels thicker, the bluing is even and deep, and it locks in with zero wobble unlike the imports that rattle around. Ran 150 rounds through it yesterday, not a single hiccup. Gonna order 3 more and retire the junk mags.
WAY BETTER than the Korean repros!
Wish it was parkerized

Bought four, all goodPicked up four of these for plinking days. All four feed great and lock up solid. No complaints for the money.

Proper USGI-specFinally a new-production mag that actually looks and runs like the originals we had in the armory. Got this for my '43 Saginaw and it dropped in like it was meant to be there no wobble, no drag, feeds smooth as butter. The follower geometry is correct M1-pattern (not the M2 square style some repros use). I've seen too many KCI mags at the range that run loose in the magwell or have feed lips that'll slice your thumb open loading. This United Defense mag has proper heat-treated steel and clean stampings, not that soft commercial garbage. Took it through a two-day carbine class, ran 400+ rounds, zero malfunctions. For twenty bucks more than the Korean stuff you're getting real mil-spec construction. Worth every penny.
Clean feed lips that don't shred your thumbs
