ProMag CARA1 StandardBlued Steel Detachable 15rd for 30 Carbine U.S M1 Carbine

The ProMag CARA1 is a 15-round detachable magazine built for the U.S. M1 Carbine in .30 Carbine. Whether you're feeding an original post-war rifle, a modern reproduction, or a shooter's clone, this magazine delivers the reliable, no-fuss functionality that's kept the M1 Carbine relevant for generations. It's the same straightforward design that made the Carbine a favorite in its day—and it still works today.

Built from heat-treated carbon steel with a blued finish, the CARA1 resists corrosion and stands up to regular use in the field or at the range. The magazine spring is formed from heat-treated chrome-silicon wire and pairs with a stamped-steel follower to ensure smooth feeding and reliable performance. ProMag engineered this magazine in the USA, so you get the quality and support you'd expect from a domestic manufacturer.

If you're building or restoring an M1 Carbine, picking up spares for your collection, or just need a proven spare magazine for plinking and practice, the CARA1 is a solid choice. At 15 rounds, it balances capacity with the lightweight, handy profile the Carbine is known for. This is a straightforward magazine for a classic rifle—no frills, just function.
