I have a single 20 rd Cooper manufactured M16 magazine which I understand
were rejected by the US Govt and contract cancelled. My question, did Cooper
also manufacture a 30 rd magazine too ?49988

I'm fairly certain they did make a 30 round, but I would need to dig thru my stash to verify

To my knowledge, Cooper only made 30 round magazines post Vietnam......and not very well. The military canned them.
You may have the Cooper magazine plate on a 20 round magazine, they all fit each other. Any stamps on the magazine body?

BEAR, you are correct. my error, my photo shows a 30rd magazine with the Cooper magazine plate.

I am keeping it as a sort of collectors item

Thanks for your post
