Drum and riot magazines


Recommended Posts

I was bidding on an early auto ordnance type L drum magazine and two mint condition 18 round riot magazines. Im new to the form, but currently have a Thompson 1928 and wanted to add some accessories to my collection. Im looking for another drum mag and heard these riot mags were scarce or rare to come by.

 

So how RARE are these riot mags? There original high bluing and supposedly unissued or mint.

 

Any help would be appreciated. Dont have any pictures other than the post.

Some rare hardware in top condition!

Check out the 'Thompson box & drum magazine' guide pinned post if you haven't already done so it's a really great source of info & you'll find info on these magazines I'm sure.Definitely got the riot 18 shot cartridge mags on there.

Great purchase for your collection if you have the $$$.

That lot will be $3.5K by the time it is all over.

 

A 18 round mag just sold at Centurion Auctions in with 4 other pat date mages for over $1K, and the similar nickel rotor drums were over $1K as well.

 

Bid like crazy...

I was watching a lot on Proxbid last week that had 2 Patent date mags, 1-18 round shot shell, 2-20 round Seymour and a grease gun mag loader. Think the lot sold for $600-$800. Mags weren't perfect but they were functional

 

Here's the auction. Looks like they sold for $960 with the premium

Yeah, that was the lot. I deleted the results already but I thought the total with BP was $1,200 or so.

But my memory ain't what it used to be!
