New in plastic M16/AR15 30 round mags - Dec 1979 build date

[Samuel]

I have three 30 round M16A2 5.56mm magazines, still in their plastic packagings. The build dates say Dec 1979, built by Adventure Line Mfg. Co. Parsons, Kansas
MSN: 1005-00-921-5004

My dad bought these way back in the early 80s and gave them to me recently. How much are these buggers worth?

the bottom dropped out of the M16 mags market... right after the Y2K panic. NIW where going for 45.00 and more.....just a couple years late.... now about 20 bucks low end to 25 high end, is what they are going for at ar15 dot com....used ones are even cheaper. which is still a lot considering these where made as a expendable item.

Thanks for the info, checked out that website. Any FFL in the Seattle area want to trade me the 3 NIW mags for 2 gun transfers from Wholesale Guns and Ammo? Want to pick up a AK and a CETME but not at local prices.

$17 each - not too bad for getting them for free! :-)
