9rd AR colt Magazine

[dw357]

I picked up a 9rd colt mag at the Indy gun show with the intentions of using it, but the guy I bought it off of said it might be worth some money down the road. The top 2/3 is metal and the bottom 1/3 is hard plastic. It's got Colt Hartford, Connecticut, USA on the bottom. Is this something to put away in the safe until a rainy day?

no idea... But have you searched Gunbroker for a comparable one to check the price?

Guess I don't see why a magazine with such a low capacity would ever be worth anything. I would not even pay full price for it.

I was at a gun store just yesterday, digging through the "orphan" drawer, and found one of those mags. Owner said it was a 10 round colt mag they sold with their target AR's.

My only thought as to why something like that could be worth money would in the event of another AWB ban, but even then it would only be worth money because it would be legal. Then again, I dont know anything about these things, so take it for what it is worth

Actually if there was another magazine capacity limit, etc then the previously manufactured magazines with a capacity higher than any newly implemented limit would be worth more, I'd think. That's what happened last time.

In any case, I'm hoping we don't have to deal with such nonsense again.

I think that is what shipped with the rifles DURING the ban.

If those are valuable I've got some to sell!

I had a Colt post ban HB match target that came with a mag like that. It was handy when shooting from a rest.
