Hello to all, I just completed a set of six up-graded nickel MEC-GAR mags for one of our forum members! With near perfect EAST GERMAN cast aluminum bottoms, either a great copy, or cast from the original molds, same as the WW2 Mauser.. I'm voting original molds were used..
.....Anyway, this group has had the bottoms profiled, fitted and parting line removed, then installed, over a GTHQ spring with precision spring follower cap, and double pinned with retaining pins made to original specs. I don't think there is a better shooter mag available anywhere, originals included. The reason I make this statement, is not entirely dependant on the necessary up-grades, as the MEC-GAR shell is heat treated and will not deform or change.. no other mag tube current or past has this feature... And, the GTHQ spring will not degrade, and the aluminum bottoms ain't never going to break! ....I'm selling up-graded MEC-GAR mags like the ones discribed above, and pictured below, for $95.00 each, which includes shipping on up to six mags... you can contact me at
gctomeks@msn.com if you'd like to have some made..
... As always, Best to all, til....lat'r....GT
