huggytree Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I just want to verify 41 mags are exactly the same as 40 mags I see them mixed together in batches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huggytree Posted December 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 valued the same? i see most mp40 mags for sale are actually 41's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 I seem to recall that all MP-41 marked mags were made by Haenal (the only maker of MP-41s) and bore their logo. Could well be wrong. FWIW, I've found that the best quality MP-40 mags were made by Steyr. You'll find lots of mags out there, but Steyr made mags are consistently of the best quality, which stayed really good until they made their last MP-40 mags in 1944. They were made of excellent steel and had consistent dimensions. They'll fit any WWII MP-40, where some from other makers can't even be inserted in the mag well. Steyr mags are marked 98E or kur, and WaA815. I posted an extensive photo essay on these mags on this forum but it seems to have disappeared.

johnsonlmg41 Posted December 10, 2017 Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 I j bought 6 today with 2 nice mag pouches and a loader for 560. Not really sure why these ever broke $50 since there are literally tons of mags and no new guns? Magazine collecting must be much bigger than I could ever imagine? Got a stack of Vig mags I'll be grinding on pretty quick so as not to use the high dollar ones up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted December 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2017 Mag hoarders. Lots of overseas wall hangers who also want 20 mags. Expensive ones arent selling. Bargains do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you buy them from numrich?? Thx Vinny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnsonlmg41 Posted December 11, 2017 Report Share Posted December 11, 2017 It requires a bit more than just filing. I have a bunch of them and I've been told they work fine once fitted, but I haven't actually done it yet so I can't say for sure it will work? I did not get them from Numrich, but at a couple shows.....much cheaper. If they work maybe I'll do a run on the surface grinder and offer them up. I just found another 10 MP40 mags in my PPsh conversion kit......that I've never installed, so the urgency just dropped a bit more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
