Magazine That Came w/Toy Gun

[alanint]

Your magazine looks like original wartime manufacture. Value is $80, give or take. Assuming you bought Your réplica gun used, a previous owner may Have broken the original mag and replaced It with a gunshow purchase.

There's a bunch on GB right now for ~$150, with a few dreamers looking for more...Lots more...

I signed up at one of the model gun forums, and there was an interesting post that said Sten mags would fit some of these plug-firing-cap replicas...I vaguely recall that the British copied the MP40 to make the Sten...or was it vice versa??? I know the Germans also made a copy of the Sten late in the war...I even have a pic of an officer inspecting one...Looks like a Sten but with the mag on the bottom...

I used to have a Sten mag...It seems to have grown legs...Or maybe just CRS again...

Pic of the dummy/plug-firing-cap cartridges for these replica guns...'Detonator' pin is in the chamber, with bolt being flat (no firing pin)...No real cartridge will chamber, but plug-firing-cap has enough pressure to work the [very weak] recoil spring/assembly...
