TM08 repro needed for shooting

Hi there,

Can anyone help out with where to buy a repro snaildrum magazine and the approximate price it would held.

Thanks

Rino, while reproductions are available, I don't know that they will function with a full 32 round load. Original snail drums will operate with a full load if in good condition. Originals are going to cost about $1000. This thousand bucks is only the beginning as one can not load a TM08 without a loader. Reproduction loaders start at $300. Good luck.

Rino, As stated above all of the Japanese non=gun repo TMs that I've seen only have a zig-zag spring in the top portion of the mag for 7rds and generally require a lot of fitting to even go into a real luger. TH

Thanks guys !,

...for the info and knowledge about those repros.It seems that they are made for display use only.I got a TM08 in excellent condition but have`nt dared to use it for live shooting yet but I`ll give it a gentle try.I suppose I`ll go looking for a repro loader instead of a repro snaildrum.

Cheers
