King Arms M1A1/M2 Series 30-Round Gas Blowback Rifle Magazine (Black)
This is a black King Arms spare gas magazine listed for the M1A1/M2 series gas blowback rifles, with a capacity of 30 rounds as named. In a gas blowback rifle the magazine holds both the BBs and the gas, so spare magazines matter even more than with an electric rifle: they give you more shots and let you swap to a warm, full magazine when one starts to run low.
King Arms’ M1 Carbine family is popular with Second World War reenactors and collectors, and genuine King Arms magazines are the most reliable way to keep these rifles feeding and cycling properly.
Using it
Fill the magazine with the gas recommended in your rifle’s manual, holding the can upright and filling in short bursts, then let it settle for a moment. Load the BBs, seat the magazine firmly, and chamber the first round with the charging handle. Gas performance falls in cold weather, so keep spare magazines in an inside pocket between uses on cold days.
Gas and CO2 versions
King Arms makes its M1 Carbine family in both green gas and CO2 versions, and the magazines for the two are different. This magazine is listed for the gas blowback M1A1/M2 series; we also stock King Arms’ real wood M2 Carbine and M1A1 Paratrooper gas blowback rifles. Please check your rifle’s version before ordering.

Compatibility

Care and maintenance
Put a drop of silicone oil on the fill valve and seals every few fills, and store the magazine with a little gas in it so the seals stay tight. Never overfill, never heat a magazine to warm it up, and keep it clean and dry.
