madkiwi Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Looking for more magazines for my incoming MP40 subgun.Looking only for German 32 rounders in reasonable condition. Don't need to be perfect, this is not for display purposes. No Vigeron mags thank you.I have 5, figure I need another 5-10.Let me know what you have and what you want for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 (edited) I bought mine from folke . I think I bought 15 and they were $100 each. He selected steyr for me. They were nos condition. Might try him. Mp40 mags have continued to go up in price since then. But maybe he is still $100 each Edited May 20, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 I was goiing to pass along the names of some of my favorite European sellers, but they're gone. The EU ban on the sales of machinegun parts did them in. They can't even sell outside of the EU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted May 20, 2019 Report Share Posted May 20, 2019 Keep checking Gun Broker. I was watching an auction that just ended yesterday there were 3 together and went for $310. Nice used condition but finish kind of worn. I would have bought them if I was looking for mags. I have 15 vintage mags but never use them for shooting, the vig mags work just fine for that and they are in newer condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madkiwi Posted May 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 This one on GB looks good https://www.gunbroker.com/item/815209733Ouch! It's at $127 already with a week to go! I got 2 parkerized ones for $175, and had another guy sell me a complete recoil assembly, bolt AND 5 magazines for $550! Don't want to be bleeding before I get to the range...

huggytree Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 (edited) Did you contact folke ? Refinished/parkerized ones will have low collector value and these mags are at collector prices Folke has the best quality for the least $$ Good price on the other batch Unless he has sold out by now Edited May 28, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think $87.50 is collector pricing? Nobody on this forum offered anything close to that (got these somewhere else), in fact the lowest price offered here was $95 for "Good". I'm happy with what I got, considering my options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted May 28, 2019 Report Share Posted May 28, 2019 Madkiwi...you got a great deal on the bolt, recoil tube and those 5 mags. Everything looks like it is in good used condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted May 29, 2019 Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 (edited) Folke was $100 nos condition and hand select steyr That was a year ago. Might have included shipping I posted it as the first response. You ignored my advice,paid more and most likely got less Need something ? He is always a good source to try first. He sold me a nos/flawless original mp40 barrel $450 shipped. I see them sell at $900 in worse shape Edited May 29, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madkiwi Posted May 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2019 Why tell me I paid too much? I paid LESS than what you are talking about. I didn't ignore your advice, I dismissed it. I wasn't wanting to pay $100+ for magazines if I could avoid it. I don't care if they are NOS or close, I want shooting magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the Vig mags didn't work, or at least, wouldn't fit, in MP40's. Did you have to modify them in some way?Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted May 30, 2019 Report Share Posted May 30, 2019 (edited) you can buy $100 folke mags that are worth $140 tomorrow and will work or you can buy refinished $75 mags that may work and will be worth $75 or less tomorrow if $ is the issue then buy the Vig mags Nice condition mags have gone up $20-30 since i bought my MP40 2 years ago....parkerized ones will most likely not people sell their junk mags in small quantities...when you buy in large bulk from known dealers your more likely to get mostly good ones...i try to find dealers and buy 15-25 mags...ive had very few bad functioning ones that way. you will have a beautiful new finished/ newly made MP40 and a blah mag hanging out of the bottom that you have to spend $20 to replace the spring so it will work Edited May 30, 2019 by huggytree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerD Posted June 10, 2019 Report Share Posted June 10, 2019 I was at a gun show in Ft Myers Sat. and bought 2 nice 98E's for 120 each. In retrospect I should have bought all 5 for 500. He has more MP40 mags of various manufacturers. I've got a phone # if you like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayP Posted June 20, 2019 Report Share Posted June 20, 2019 FYI-just got some extras cause the price was right. Mags@$75. I only ordered two cause I was unsure of the condition but they were well worth it and better than the mags I paid $125 for. Order was delivered in 2 days.WWII Mags---Simpson LTD.

TSMGguy Posted June 28, 2019 Report Share Posted June 28, 2019 Anybody know where to get MP40 magazine floorplates? I have one where the retaining tab is broken off. Here you go. This guy is a reputable, long established seller. The floor plates that he lists as reproductions are Norwegian made and are of very high quality. They are identical to German WWII, except without the WaA stamps. http://www.bergflak.com/mp/bs10.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
