I have had a "rack grade" M1A since the mid 80s, truly a good gun.

The 5rnd mags fit almost flush with the GI stock (and likely everything else), and are very difficult to remove (because there's nothing sticking out to hold on to), and virtually impossible to remove if wearing gloves.

You may find it easiest to reach through the action to push the mag out from the top.

The 10rnd size is very good, allowing the rifle to be shot low prone, and still giving a decent amount of mag to grip, so mag swaps are as easy as the standard 20rnders.
