I have not seen images of this marking nor have I seen them mentioned in posts (which doesn't mean that the info is not there). I do know that mags made during the Clinton "High-Capacity" Magazine Ban (1994 to 2004) were restricted and dated.

Yes, the Check-Mate magazine have been talked about years ago here. After the Clinton law...

Someone sold a few of these in the PX not long ago.

 

[DudleyDR]

Should have known this would be old news. My apologies! A few came with my M14SA purchase.

It was still a good question. Now you know and now others who hadn't known learned from this posting.

 

[hardheaded]

That brings back memories
All bad

 

[WaM14gunner]

I was unaware of those also. Thanks

 

[Wasted ammo]

As long as somebody learns something its all good.

I purchased three of these CMI mags on the PX. I thought they would be a nice addition to my collection

Hmm reminds me of all the lawyer speak plastered all over newer Rugers....

 

[DudleyDR]

When I heard that there would be a Federal law mandating that manufacturers were going to have to put DOM's on their magazines, I thought it was the most ridiculous and absurd thing I had heard of at that time. But true to form, the Feds did it anyway.

Thanks for the post ,so if one of us runs across some of these should we save as collectors items or just use them cause it's just my luck to buy one use it and find out wow it would be worth a fortune ( IF ) that's if is the story of my life .

I have the same Mag but mine was brought back by a DM who used it in Sadr City.

Yours is in better shape!

I got a few a while ago from a forum member, they work really well. I just missed a few on another forum a couple of weeks ago.

As for saving them as being valuable, I do not know if they have more than normal value.

So I have decided at my age to use what I have, no point in saving them for the grim reaper.

 

[wiz1997]

Were any of the mags, produced during the "ban", dated with other years?

I've only seen the 1996 date.

I have two that are also dated 1996.

 

[DaMoose]

You will find M16 mags with those marks too.

I have both M16 and M14 mags with those marks. Just a reminder if what we can loose.

Never under estimate the Feds. after the passage of the Gun Control Act of 1968 the ATF conducted endurance testing of handguns. The idea was to prove inexpensive handguns were not durable and should be banned as unsafe. To their surprise some of the cheap imported and domestic guns out lasted some of the most expensive US made pistols. The NRA printed the test results in "The American Rifleman." The AFT then came up with point system for imported pistols. No small cheap imported guns could meet the point system and were banned. Saturday Night Specials was the battle cry of the gun banners then.

I have two that are also dated 1996.

I will have to look at the ones that I have, I bought them from a member that brought them back from his service in Afghanistan

 

[Powerkicker]

I have several marked like this. Mine are also all marked 1996.
