I live out in Westminster.
Check these out. I can't remember where I read it but I thought these fit the Polytech m14. Please double check because I could be wrong.

Yes, any magazine should work.

they all work. I tried 4 different kinds the other day including keepshooting, usgi, checkmate and a unmarked 30 rounder.
I have an unfired Polytech m14 from the late 90s. It sits in the back of the safe. I do remember some m1a magazines not fitting smoothly in it which prompted me to order the Keep Shooting (or might have been checkmate) magazines years ago. You got me curious so now I'm going to have to empty out the safe to check.

If the stock is chinese wood all the mags mentioned should work. If you change to usgi wood it could bind. Mine had the chinese handguard resting on the wood which changed the angle of the receiver. Replaced with a usgi handguard. There should be a gap between the botton of the handguard and the wood. Mine don't bind and you don't have to slam the mag to engage the latch.

Mine has a USGI stock and the mags don’t hardly fit. I’ll have to do some fitting work on it. Might just take it to Charley Maloney and have him do some work on it.

Mine would compress the metal magazine well with the usgi stock. After changing the handguard the mags latched smoothly. Also corrected the draw pressure on the front ferrule of the stock. See tony3 videos YT or(tonyben) on www.m14forum.com. Search "polutech magazine issues". Also Gus Fisher and Art Lupino. Gus has a checklist for magazine fit. The handgard wasn't on the list and was mentioned from the gas system video. The mags should work with the receiver out of the stock. No grinding on the magazine latch or mag was necessary. Didn't file the wood either.

Wrong search terms. "polytech magazine issues", "mag fit problem", "magazine fit problems". Several threads.
I only purchase guns, I never sell them!
