1076 magazine prices

[cowboy77845]

I have a 1076 magazine that won't feed. Have replaced spring and follower. Still won't feed. Spring or follower gets caught somewhere in magazine. The sides seem smooth.
Looked at prices for new magazines and saw a couple for over $300. What gives? I have other magazines, just appalled at prices some were asking.

$100 seems to be the new floor, and $120-$130 more typical trading prices on the auction sites. Add shipping and tax.

Take apart and feel for rough spots / tight spots, burrs inside shell. If you have a good mag, compare geometry at top - look for damage to lips at top of shell.

3 varieties I know of but all seem to work fine. First gen = yellow follower, Second Gen = white follower (maybe some minor changes to top), 3rd Generation = white follower plus marked Accu-Glide on side and ES1 on front. Supposedly White followers OK in original mags which had yellow followers.

If you can find a good one for $100-120 grab it. Last year on eBay I saw several go above $200 - some as high as $260, but none sold above that while I was watching.
