Mauser Magazines

Bullet Bob · 02-05-2017, 03:02 PM

I've been reading Mr. Baudino and Mr. Vilmmeren's wonderful book, and I'm going to buy an Interarms Mauser in .30 Luger to go with the one in 9mm I already own.

The .30 cal. one I'm looking at only has one magazine, and since I'm going to shoot it, I'd like to have a couple more. Mec-Gar only has replacements in 9mm listed that I can find here in the USA.

I know the .30 Luger cartridges will probably work fine in the Mec-Gar 9mm ones, but I'm curious about the strength of the magazine spring affecting the function of the action, since the 7.65 spring tension differed (p. 289 of The Parabellum is Back!).

Thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
