Newbie got a MGC68 and have a few questions..

mikey,

I've seen MP40 mag pouches filled with STEN magazines which are readily available and inexpensive. Another alternative mag' is the Vigneron type. These will fit some MGC68 MP40s without modification (but they won't fit mine )

Mike,

Agreed, that IS a great site

Problem here in Kommiefornia is those are considered high capacity mags so can't get them here. I hate this state!!!

In the past I have seen Vig and Sten magazines that have had the follower and base welded up for sale in the US, they are legal in the sunshine state and look the part as mag pouch fillers..

Wonder where I could find such critters?

I contacted a site that sell some rusted ones to see if they can ship here......gotta wait til they open tomorrow I guess. $14 + ship for 5 of 'em.

You are not allowed to buy - or import - any assembled mag with a capacity over ten rounds in California.

Hey, on the MP40 magazine pouches, what are those two D rings for?

They clip to the Y Straps (sometimes called combat suspenders), a good example shown here:
