Heck of a deal

Herb · 01-24-2005, 06:59 PM

I just got my latest issue of the Sportsman Guide and saw an ad for Luger magazines for $16.95, this is the lowest I've ever seen repros go for. Having only seen one once they look like a KKK mag, but I'm not really sure, I also have no Idea if they would work correctly so neither I nor Pete are recommending them and neither of us have any connection whatsoever with this company.

Thanks Pete, don't know why the one I posted didn't work, must have been that smiley face.

Given the significant role that a correctly-functioning magazine plays in the successful operation of a Luger, I personally would not cut corners with a cheap magazine. For about $10. more you can get a MecGar. Maybe this is a good magazine but in my experience you usually get what you pay for. Just my opinion. Nonetheless, I appreciate the heads up.

To Pete, and all interested...

IF and ONLY IF the mags being sold are identical to the one shown in the enlarged photograph I recognize that the manufacturer is Triple-K... by the spot welds on the right side...

I agree that they are not the same high quality as Mec-Gar... they would be second choice aftermarket... if you have a choice...
