And ran across these. I am pretty sure some of them are preban and not sure about the others. Looking for expert guidance before I offer them for sale and incorrectly label them. Thanks

none are rare and all are pre-ban. But pre-ban doesnt mean what it used to as the last hold out, Mass. has effectively closed that avenue now. (by law, they are not allowed to import mags over xx at all anymore, though some still do from what i hear). So, the 30's are maybe worth a tiny bit more than standard 30's you can buy right now. The 20's are worth a bit more than that since they are the older straight style with metal followers. You might can find someone that really really wants them and is willing to pay a premium. A lot of people, me included, sold pre-ban mags at standard 30rd and 20rd replacement costs to those in Mass before the new law went into effect last year. |

AWB went into effect on September 13, 1994, so dated before that are preban. And preban mag status isn't what it was these days as stated above. Good source of info regarding mags HERE |

| I have a 1970-dated box of Adventureline 20s that have never been inserted in a rifle. I've felt no need to use them when I have so many other mags. |

I had about 2 dozen or so like that still sealed in the package when I got out in late '93. During the ban years I didn't own an AR & even though really didn't want to sell them, people really, REALLY wanted to buy them more than I didn't want to. I would sell a couple here or there for $20-$30 ea which I thought was crazy money for them, but that was also 1990's dollars, not post FJB dollars. As easy as it is to get 20, 30 or higher round capacity mags, I'd hold on to those for now, might be worth a lot more to guys who want them so they can have real GI mags made out of metal, especially now that Okay isn't making them anymore. That's my 2 cents FWIW.
