For sale are 2 unissued USGI "split back" 30 round magazines. Info about them cut and pasted:
"Split Back: The second (later) type is commonly called a "split-back" or "two-piece." The body for this type was made out of two pieces of sheet steel. It can be identified by two reinforcing grooves that run at odd angles in the bottom half of the magazine. It is also quickly identified by the two small slots or "splits" on the rear of the magazine, right where it bends. Original split-back magazines are currently selling for $25 to $50 each, depending on condition. By the way, some of these were unmarked, but are still original. (To the best of my knowledge, no copies were made of hard-backs, only split-backs.)"
From here:
Price - $70 shipped CONUS to states that can legally import them or sell them in the state as these are 30 rounders. Mags and I are on the front range of CO. No FTF sales as these are not legal to import into nor sell within the state of CO.
