huggytree Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 holding 2 mags in my hand and looking at them...one parkerized one blued....they are very different....the feed lips are 2x longer on the parkerized...along with a few other details different is 1 version older than the other? is one an ''improved'' version? all i know if the park ones typically dont run well in my Mac 10 Lage upper, while the blued ones do.... why are they different?

Frank Iannamico Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 Most parked magazines are gov't refurbished. I once had a sealed arsenal box full of them (I had to open it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Huggy is talking about these 2 mags. The parked one doesnt work well in my 76/45 either. One thing i noticed is the spring in the parked one is quite a bit longer than the one in the blue mag.

Frank Iannamico Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 The different spring could have been a revision to the original drawing.The parked ones seem to work better in my grease gun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted March 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 NEVER MIND....just realized those feed lip changed were tweaks from Petro 1.....they arent factory..... i took one of my normal ones out and could see all the tweaks...My Bad/Stupid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petroleum 1 Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 The bolt on my 76/45 was scraping across the mag lips so I had to trim them down to work. I donated those to huggy because I made a boo boo cutting the notch for the mag catch and they fit too loose in my magwell so they are useless to me but will work in his mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petroleum 1 Posted March 16, 2018 Report Share Posted March 16, 2018 Frank...i bought a dozen of those mags last year on GB and the feed lips were altered or cut down a little. It resembles an MP 40 magazine. I did not know they were altered when i bought them but they work fine in my stemple 76/45. I have no idea who altered them and what gun they were running them in.
