Question on mag

Vlim · 10-29-2010, 04:39 PM

It is a late (mid 1980s) post war Mauser Parabellum magazine. The tube was made in Holland, but the magazine was put together in Germany, hence the marking.

If you want to part with one of those, I'd be interested

Vlim:
I have a similar looking magazine, but it has "Made in Holland" on it's spine. Is this the same basic magazine? It came with my shooter.

The post war "Mauser" mag, and the "Made in Holland" mag are.... The same, only different!!!...

... The follower mag spring is waaaay different in the two..... The Mauser marked mag has the stiffest (sp.?) spring I know of.. and some / they, (post war Mausers) need it to work!...

... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT

From GT's comments, it sounds as though you would be better off buying a pair of Mec-Gar mags and selling the Mauser mags...for a suitably appropriate price...

what you say is true, but I don't know the market value of my two mags ? and what 2 market mags would cost......
