Fitting real UZI mags to Marushin's UZI?

Post by MadMike

Can anyone tell me if real UZI magazines can be used with the Marushin UZI? They fit quite well and do not need big adjustments as I have used them as additional decoration items with my UZI as Marushin spare mags are hard to come by. But I doubt if they feed (strong spring, different feed lips?).

I have my hands on some 25 rd magazines from old stock German Army surplus, and a 25 rd magazine for my Marushin Uzi would sure be nice ...

I don't know, but i'd suspect that the springs would be a tad too strong, maybe just cutting off a few coils would help?

I'd love to have 2 25 - round magazines and the cool magazine clip that keeps them in L-formation

I finally got some nice real UZI 25 rd magazines with pouches, original German Army surplus. Maybe I can find the time and try to modify them for my Marushin UZI. Anyway the spring is very strong compared to the Marushin magazine.

Yes, they will fit after a little modification.
You have tu cut the Spring before you can use it...

The difference between a Marushin Mag and a real UZI Mag are just
the long of the Spring and a fold in the back at the Marushins.

I cutted the spring up to the length of the Magazin:
(right one is the real Magazin)
