| Looks like it may be a Taiwanese T57. The spot welds are correct for it. |
Liberals are a curious mix of communism and fascism, they want to destroy you but want to use your own money to do it.
I'm getting down to the last box, the others have all been destroyed...

| IMO, the item pictured above is a Check-Mate Industries M14 magazine. The latch plate is the give away. It was either made for the 1985 US military contract or it was made for the commercial market before mid-2006. C.M.I. M14 magazines made for the commercial market did not have a company logo before then. During the early part of the GWOT, US Army units bought some M14 rifle items from US commercial market sources.

HTH Interesting. I went thru the M-14 mag ID on the site and my last steel warrior book and must have missed that. [I believe you] I didn't know Checkmate made mags they didn't mark/logo. Learned something new..... [OP ignore me, this guy knows his stuff!!!!!!!!!!!] |

Learned something new..... [OP ignore me, this guy knows his stuff!!!!!!!!!!!] I didn’t know that either. I was looking at it thinking “CMI… but I don’t see any markings so it must be something else.” |
