Can anyone help me identify this Colt 30 round magazine I am looking to add to my collection?
I have searched without any luck. I have only seen a stamp like this on bayonet s. The floorplate is stamped “Pony” Colt’s 62316 Hartford, Conn USA  Attached FileThere are no stamps on the outside of the mag body.  Attached File Attached FileI have only seen the early 62667 Colt mags. When would this magazine have been issued? Thank you in advance for your reply. |

I did not receive a picture of the follower.
It does appear to have an raw cs spring or a ss spring instead of a cu plated cs spring.  Attached File |

Seen a lot of older magazines with only floorplate manufacturers info on them. The first pic looks like the mag body has locator holes on the front between the welds. I think that was used by the lines of companies that wound up being Center Industries. If it is an aluminum GI mag I think the company went Adventure line to Parsons to Center. Don't know the year they moved/changed how they were marked. Seems like there was a change letter with some mag marking info in with the older set of drawings that used to be online, but I can't remember what the info on it was.
Floorplate I never seen before. |

I've never seen "Colt's 62316" on anything except Colt bayonets.

The follower is black.
I am waiting in pictures of the weld seams and the inside of the body. Will post as soon as I get them. I did notice that the mag release notch “stop” is very defined like my other Colt and Okay mags. That feature on my other mags is much less defined and more rounded. |

There is a pretty good view of most floorplates in the tacked retro section thread. These are the two oldest Colt mags I have. Top is a number marked green follower mag and the lower one has a black follower with both mags having the old 62667 part numbers stamped on the side of the body.
It looks like someone might have copied the bayo info onto a floorplate. Every Colt floorplate I have had has the "registered " mark at the bottom right not at the top.  Attached File |
