Are these used but excellent condition?

Original M14 mags are the best of the best. If in origianl wrappers, they can go pretty high. If in good shape but used, I'd say $40.00 each is not unreasonable.

CMI have some problems dimensionally and otherwise, but they are claimed to be "GI spec". They are used by the US Gov't...

Condition Dictates Most. $25- $40 the better the shape More they are Worth. A BRW B-2 in any shape $35 and Up
A heads up to you Genuine BRW mags will have a non serifed # BRW SI
Not BRW S1

CMI mags run all day in any Rifle I ever had so I give them A+ rating yet the park might be on the heavy side just buff them down lightly with 0000 steel wool & some CLP and they are smooth and ready for combat!

Not taken as a flame at all

CMI mags have been variable over the years, but some notes... these have been discussed in various threads. I don't want to get off topic so I'll PM you so this doesn't detract from the OP.
