M1a magazines. What brand?

[rogersmithiii]

Is it necessary to spring for OEM mags for an M1A, or is there an aftermarket brand that makes quality product?

Don't know if it's still the case, but Checkmate (CMI) was the go-to for non-USGI M1A magazines.

Get on a M1A forum if you are looking for MA compliance ones and do some homework. Checkmate if your in free state. Originals take some homework to find and you have to be careful. There is a difference between SP-1 & SP-I one is a restamp. There are also some accounts poor mags rebagged in Original wrappers.

‘Non-usgi’. I carried a m14 in 07-08, was issued CMI mags. Technically CMI are USGI.

For 20 rounders I use only original GI mags, I mean the KMT's, OM's, BRW's etc. For ten rounders, which I don't have many of, I think they are SA's. Original mags and still be had for $50-$60 but you gotta do some searching, assuming your a MA subject.
