Quality of Breda BM59 magazines?

All the Original BM59 Magazines I've used worked well - PB, BM, & BMR marked.

 

The only 'bad' ones I've heard about are some sold by Reese. They used black plastic followers & possibly M14 Magazine Springs (which would be a bit short in height for BM59 bodies). These Mags reportedly would not feed properly - I've never used them myself.

 

Another BM59 Magazine maker was FAET - which is the Italian Government Terni Armory. These are probably the last ones made for the Italian Government, after Beretta & Breda stopped BM59 production & support in the mid to late 70's.

 

I'm making an assumption (oops) that FAET made complete Mags. But only the floorplate is marked FAET, with bodies unmarked - so perhaps they just made replacement floorplates.

 

Hope this helps,

 

Steve
