Tim Bogle Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 The magazine on the left in both pictures is the one I'm trying to ID. The one on the right is a Madsen M50. They are both the same length. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyboy Posted June 9 Report Share Posted June 9 If it’s for a .45 ACP cartridge, it might be for the Brazilian INA 953 which was a .45 ACP version of the Madsen M50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bogle Posted June 9 Author Report Share Posted June 9 It is a 9mm magazine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 The inward facing vertical ribs near the front of the mag may have been used to locate the shoulder of 7.65 Luger or possibly 7.63 Mauser or 7.62 Tokarev cartridges (if the mag is long enough to accommodate their greater length). However I don't know if the Madsen was offered in any of those calibers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bogle Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 The Tok round is way too long. A 9mm fits nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Just curious, do those vertical ribs push the cartridges together enough to reduce magazine capacity? Or can you get a full 30(?) in it? If they reduce capacity could it be specifically for the 7.65 Luger which is roughly the same length as the 9? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Bogle Posted June 10 Author Report Share Posted June 10 It's a struggle to get eight rounds of 9mm into them. I tried two different mags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted June 10 Report Share Posted June 10 Here's a drawing of the 7.65 Luger cartridge. https://bobp.cip-bobp.org/uploads/tdcc/tab-iv/tabivcal-en-page14.pdf See if the magazine ribs match the case shoulder. There aren't a lot of other cases with the same body diameter as the 9 Luger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don. Posted Wednesday at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted Wednesday at 06:54 PM As stated previously, it’s a Madsen mag. I have several adapted for an M11. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
