The only G.I.-spec mags on the market, of which I'm aware, are made by Check-mate Industries. I'd provide a link, but Check-Mate is apparently so swamped that they've taken their catalog off the website (they make M9 and M14 mags for the government). You want the blued steel tube with full-length tapered feedlips.
I don't think they make a mag with a combination of the full-length tapered feedlips and removeable baseplate.
I prefer their "hybrid" feedlip design, which combines the taper of G.I. mags, with the release point of parallel-feedlip mags; the best of both worlds. You can get hybrid-lipped mags with welded or removeable baseplates.
