Sienna Armory Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 One appears to be a 5.56 Steel AK magazine, I thought initially WASR-3 / SAR-3 but the baseplate is different The other appears to be a modified or MAC-10 style steel .45 ACP mag, but does NOT fit a MAC M10 Thanks in advance, anyone!

MPFiveO Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 (edited) Man, I really hate to say that Buddy is wrong on this but the floorplate seems to tell me that the AK magazine is a Chinese Polytech .223 mag. https://auctions.morphyauctions.com/_n__near_mint_in_original_box_sw_daniel_polytech_a-lot634053.aspx Not sure about the second magazine other than it's based on the M3 Grease Gun design.

I believe you're correct on the AK style mag - the floor plates on different and this one you sent me looks closer The .45 ACP stick mags are Grease Gun / MAC M10 design based, no idea still what they go to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPFiveO Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 I'm usually pretty good about figuring out magazines but the .45 has me stumped. It lacks the reinforcing wrap common to the Grease Gun and MAC style guns. I can give a short list of what it isn't... Grease Gun, MAC, Volunteer Commando, Demro Wasp, Ingram M6, Enfield Encom .45, Spitfire, Stemple 76/45, D-Max, Uzi, PAWS ZX-7... I'll continue to research.

Yeah, I have crossed a few of those off my list already today - customer that brought me a pre-May sample M3A1 to sell also brought me a literal tub of magazines he asked me to auction off - these are the only ones that I have not yet been able to identify - the funny thing is that they fit into a MAC magwell but the locking lug is way to high - they also have those holes punched into the top sides, which I would assume has something to do with locking them into the gun, but then why have the rear lug?

MPFiveO Posted September 17 Report Share Posted September 17 The holes in the side may have something to do with the manufacturing process and the dies used. Could be for locating pins during the folding process. I also looked at variations of the SGW Olympic Arms .45 mags and nothing matched there either.
