6 AR 10 20 round magazines. 308 CAL. All steel including the followers. Rock river pattern. Dont know if that matters. One is used slightly the others are new. No date codes and they are unmarked. Have no idea who made these, can only say the one that was used worked. Sold my ar 10 with 6 mags and these remain. $115.00 shipped. Usps mo or cc's at 3.5%.

Those are FAL mags, RRA maxe their AR10 pattern rifles to accept them without modification, these will also work in "inch pattern" L1A1 (British, Australian, New Zealand, etc.) Rifles which are UK versions of the FAL. Awesome mags and good deal for someone!

Slight correction to JKH's info.

Based on the 1st pic, these are "metric" fal mags, not "inch" fal mags,
because the mag lug/catch on the front of the mag is a partially punched raised "divot" directly in the mag sheet metal.
it looks like a stumpy bird beak.

an "inch" fal mag has a soldered on square/rectangular lug in that same spot,
and its more proud.

Inch fal mags wont fit/work in a metric fal.
metric fal mags may work (albeit poorly) in an inch fal, depending on the tolerances.

a good pic of the front of the mag will clarify this for fal people.

the baseplate also looks metric.
if you are not confused enough already :), there are factory/armory made "cross breed" mags which are
metrics converted to inch via soldering on the mag catch lug.

You might consider re-listing these as "metric FAL mags" (what they really are) as only the (rare) Rock River AR10 used FAL mags and all the other AR10s either
take modified M14 mags (90's Armalite) or mags patterned on the ORIGINAL 1950's/1960's full auto Costa Mesa Armalite AR10 (Knights/Stoner, DPMS/Remington, everyone else).

For every RRA AR10 out there their must be 1000 FALs.

$115 is a good deal for these. Metric surplus FAL mags usually go for $25 each. If you don't sell here put them up at FALfiles site.
