ProMag CARA2 StandardBlued Detachable 30rd 30 Carbine for U.S M1 Carbine

The ProMag CARA2 30-round detachable magazine for M1 Carbine is a straightforward reload solution for anyone running an original or reproduction .30 Carbine. Whether you're a WWII history buff, a milsurp collector, or someone who just enjoys shooting one of America's most iconic light rifles, having reliable mags on hand means more time downrange and less time fumbling with single-round loading. This one holds 30 rounds of .30 Carbine ammunition and is engineered to function reliably in standard M1 Carbine platforms.

Built from heat-treated carbon steel with a black-oxide finish, the magazine resists the corrosion and wear that can plague older firearms and their accessories. The internals are equally solid: a heat-treated chrome-silicon spring and a stamped-steel follower work together to feed rounds smoothly and consistently. It's the kind of no-nonsense construction you'd expect from a mag designed to work alongside a rifle that's been in service—or in collections—for nearly 80 years.

Made in the USA, this is a magazine that respects the lineage of the M1 Carbine while delivering practical, modern reliability. It's sized for the standard mag well, fits and functions in both period-correct rifles and contemporary reproductions, and gives you the capacity to shoot longer strings without breaking your rhythm to reload. If you've got an M1 Carbine in the safe or at the range, a spare 30-rounder in your kit is a smart move.
