brian Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 so what's the *final* word on the quality of their box mags. i'm looking to pick up 3 or so xx's, if i can find some shotable ones. i'll modify/convert to a gi mag release, then try and dig up a few unmodified xxx's. i'd like at least 3 of each. and well, what a country has both, and that would be easy, and i'm lazy, see how this works. but do the mags they sell work this easy as well, or not. the rifle's going to PK sometime, and if i have the mags i'll shooting that'll be all the better. as well as just as easy to modify/replace the mag release at the same time.

Grey Crow Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 Most of the xxx mags. were in fair shape the xx were somewhat beat up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian Posted August 29, 2003 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 beat up as in un-usable(but fixable?), or beat up like funactionial(sp) just not good looking? i'm ok with a *rustique* look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grey Crow Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 The xxx mags. work well and the finish isn't to bad, the xx would not even go in the gun without a little work on their edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I bought a couple of XXX a few weeks ago. I haven't used them yet, but I was pleased with their condition. One was Seymour; not sure about the other, but it appeared GI. They had dents and pitting, but had been reblued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deerslayer Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 That's where I picked up quite a few. The feed lips on most of the 20 rounders are a little bent (typically flattened on the top). The thirty rounders were better, almost like new finish (or refinish). Both were heavily coated with grease inside and out. Shipping seemed like it was 2 weeks. Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron A Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I have purchased several 20 round mags from them. The first were just dirty and even got several nice ones. For that reason I ordered 4 more a month ago - all 4 are junk, heavy pitting, wont go in gun and lips bent. One the follower wont go down. I think its just the luck of the draw.

Tman Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I bought some XXX and XX from them. The XXX are blued, mixed mfg's, all seem to work fine. Lots of grease to clean, though. The XX's were parked, Israeli reimports. They worked good, too. PK's got them now (along with my WH28) for a tune up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Iannamico Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I ordered the "as new" 30 round mags, they were FAR from being new. They make good shooter mags. I returned them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondAmend Posted August 29, 2003 Report Share Posted August 29, 2003 I've bought two XX's from wac in different orders. Both had fair finish and no problem with function. This was several months ago. I've had good luck with XXX's with several orders from cdnn. Good good price, fast shipping, good to excellent finish and excellent function. Hope you have good luck wherever you order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
