What do these magazines fit?

As it says. I've had these for years. They were given to me but no idea where they come from. I thought M1 30 Carbine but it's just a wild guess. Amy ideas?

My first reaction is 10rd M1 Carbine as well, but they don't look quite right. Maybe they fit something that was closely modelled on the Carbine? Double-stack, double-feed is certainly unusual in a bolt-action.

Have you tried loading them with .30 Carbine ammo to see if it fits?

No, mate. Just sat in cupboard for 15 or so years.

I just looked at some photos of old m1 magazines and these certainly look the goods.

This is the M1 Carbine magazine follower, looks spot on to me.

Might have been worth some dosh during the buyback. I got a ridiculous amount of money for my hi cap mini 14 mags that I never even used and they never worked properly anyway
