anyone interested in real M16/M4/AR15 mags??

Hi guys

Yesterday I have contacted a person that was selling 'a few' real mags for an M16/M4/AR15.
He didn't answer my email yet, so I don't know how many pieces he has got, but I only need one or 2 pieces.
So, is anyone else interested?
He asks 50€/ mag. Just let me know if anyone else wants one.
Of course the price is also 50€ + shipping costs.
Please also make sure this is legal in your country to avoid problems at customs!

PS: Of course I can not guarantee anything, but I already have one real mag and this feeds perfectly! No jams like with the Marushin ones!!

Hi yellow

It's surprising to read that a real AR-15 type magazine is feeding properly in your Marushin modelgun Did you need to make any modifications at all

Generally real firearm magazines have springs that are way too stiff for the models, feed lips need modifying and the AR-15 type often need a little work doing to follower to allow for the shorter, bullet less, cartridge
Mag'catch holes don't always line up either.

The Marushin model M16 & XM177 aren't known for good firing performance so anything like the mag' you've found that improves the model is of particular interest

Any more information will be eagerly awaited please

Hi Cerwyn

Please take a look here, second page:

That is the real mag that I already have.
I didn't do the modification myself. Kickback did it for me I bought my M635 from him, and he also gave me this mag.
I don't think modifications will be difficult, only thing I'm not sure of is the spring. This could be too stiff, but maybe it is possible to stretch it and cut a piece off? That way it would be less stiff.

Now, the guy emailed me back. He still has 4 pieces, but he had 10! 6 of them were sold in 1 day, so if anyone wants one, please be quick! I'm ordering 2 pieces, so still 2 left!! He also told me that you don't have to own a licence (at least in Belgium).

Oh, the mags are black, so no gold finish

There are lots of different mags can you confirm these have the colt base plate?

No I can't, I'm sorry, and to be honest I also don't really care , but if you want I can always ask him.

Wow that's pricey. Can get AR/M series magazines here for $5 each on sale... haven't actually ever tried using them with the modelguns, although I often clamp one on to a modelgun or dummy gun magazine with a dummy round in it, just to help make my prop guns look a bit more realistic.

yep didnt want to mention about the price but as its already been said ...ch...ching ! here you`ll pay about £10 -£15 for them at military shows.

Here in Belgium it is a normal price I think, but then real gun parts are almost impossible to find here.
For example for a beretta 92 mag, you will pay about 100€!
It also must be said that the mags are new.
Maybe I can get a discount if I buy all 4 of them, which I'm certainly willing to share with you guys, but of courese then I'll have to know who else would want one or 2. Of course if you can buy them cheaper, you should! I was just trying to help some of the forum members...

Same here, even here in Germany you can get M16 mags for about 10 € each without Colt markings, about 20 € for those with Colt markings.
Interesting, I just saw, that you can even get those 100 shot double drum mags for M16s They go for over 250 € though.

As far as I know, it's no problem to ship stuff like that to Belgium (EU, no customs), so drop me a mail if you want me to get a few mags for you. Shipping costs would be a bit higher, as I have to have them shipped to me first and they're not new (most of them are in excellent condition), but man, it would still be much cheaper than 50 € per mag

i was stating it as if you want to be as realistic as possible for your weapon then they are the ones you want, i still have lots from when the British army was issued them for the SA80 in the late 80s, and you can pick up the RG mags which also fit for around £5 each

Ok I cancelled my order. I was happy as what that I found some of these, and now it seems like you can find them anywhere.
Anyone who can offer me 1 or 2 pieces, just let me know...
