  1. Hello Joe. The market is absolutely flooded right now with mags. A US serviceman stationed in Germany has been selling them for a few months now. Depends on condition, but NOS in the wrap are 25-30 bucks, used 15-20 bucks for nice ones. Todd
  2. Nice! I'm waiting on one also, with the case. I filed for the Reising and a SW 76 at the same time, in November. The 76 is already here, about 5 months on form 4 C&R. The the Reising is in second pending, due to an issue with the length being wrong. Any day now.
  3. M2's are a blast. Like mentioned before, there are usgi and there are later commercial copies. Most if not all of the copies are investment casting for receiver material. National and federal ordnance, Plainfield, universal, Iver Johnson to name a few. I'd say Plainfield would be the better of the commercial bunch, but I'd much rather have a usgi receiver. A usgi receiver rarely wears out, so don't rule out a registered receiver. Barrels can be changed with ease, and parts are everywhere. As someone already said, Inland and Winchester were the only two usgi manufacturers of M2 carbines, made at the end of ww2, early to mid 1945 dates. Post war, they converted regular m1 carbines to m2. There is no receiver modifications needed. So, you'll see registered underwood, rockola, saginaw, postal meter, and so on. Early models of winchester, rockola, some fluke inlands, and all quality hardware carbines use a removable spring tube for the recoil spring, so it's not recommend to use them as a host. They will work, I've done it, but the books say not to. I've got every book and carbine tool if you need any help.
  4. Same thing happened to me. I called to check status, atf said it was approved a month before. I called the dealer, left a message, they returned the call saying it just arrived. They should have hid the envelope, because it was dated 3 days after approval. They received it, and never called.
  5. Yeah, the macs are a blast. I went with the Lage upper on my Mac 10/45, makes it a whole different beast. I liked it so much, I bought a m11/9, and ordered the Lage Max31 upper, which uses the suomi 72 rnd drums and 50 rnd coffin mags. I'm a fan of ww2 stuff, so the m2 carbine is one of my favorites. I stocked up on ammo every time cmp had it. I can't fall in love with later copies like Plainfield, national ordnance, or universal. The Smith Wesson 76 is great too, plus c&r rated. Even a Reising 50 or 55 has some war and police history, and I feel are great value.
  6. I shoot regularly at a local gravel pit, very busy place. There is always 10-20 people there. The response of others is funny to watch when you start spraying full auto. Some come over and check out what you've got, others pack up fast thinking the cops will be here any minute! Also, I'm amazed at how many other NFA items you'll see. I always take my laminated form 4 copies with me, never been asked for them.
  7. I haven't seen them yet in person, but I just had to assume they were going to be cast receivers. Hopefully they are better than the other repo stuff I've seen, even the forged copies.
