Will not fit a Plainfield M-1
These clips will not lock up in the Plainfield and simple drop out with the first bump. I sent them back and would not recommend them to anyone.
Bad Batch???
I guess I received a bad batch of magazines. I ordered 4/ea of the 15 round mags and 2/ea of the 30 round. I could not budge the Magazine Followers when pushing on them. I made sure I was not putting them in a bind. I disassembled the mags to see what was going on. The Followers had Burrs around the edges. This was especially bad in the anti-tilt area. That area was also deformed outward. After giving the Followers a serious work over, they moved much more freely in the magazine, but there was still a very bad "dragging" in the operation. I have old mags that move and work smooth as silk. I'm going to try some Dry Lube on the Springs, Followers and Contact Areas inside the Magazine Body. I know I could have returned these, but I would probably receive the same batch in return or no mags at all if they pulled these off the shelf. I chose to tinker with these since I already had them apart.
Not the same as Gov't issue.
You cannot load from stripper clips. Order was replaced with gov't issue still in cosmoline wrap, Brownells promptly replaced with WWII issue mags. I did not try them in a carbine so I am unable to confirm if they will fit. Unless I'm able to load from Stripper clips they are of no value to me. If you want to load from stripper clips you need to order SKU 100.041.502WB
