Brent Vartanian Posted December 7, 2024 Report Share Posted December 7, 2024 Quote For over a year now I have been searching for a stick magazine for the SS Room 1928 9.3mm BFONG. I have checked with every vendor, reenactment club and anyplace I can think of with no luck. I have even been scamed several times. If there is anyone who has one for sale or knows where I can get one PLEASE contact me. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanksguy Posted January 25 Report Share Posted January 25 Have you called "Robb" at Atlantic-Wall-Blanks......tell him that "Blanksguy" referred you to him. He may be able to assist you with either locating magazines for that BFONG.....or possibly knows someone to make a few for you. Is your model one that fires the 9.3mm blanks (?)........and what magazines does it use (?).......did you receive one with the BFONG that you can post a couple clear photos of for reference (?).

Brent Vartanian Posted February 5 Author Report Share Posted February 5 The SS Room magazine takes the 9.3mm kurtz blank. the blank is loaded into the magazine backwards. Only one magazine came with the thompson and it looks like any other 45cal thompson magazine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Vartanian Posted February 7 Author Report Share Posted February 7 Thank you " blanksguy ". Robb was unable to help me. He gave me the number of a gun shop that may be able to help but after several phone messages and a text or two I haven't heard a word from that shop. So sad that I have a beautiful 1928 thompson BFONG and she just sits. There must be someone out there that has a SS Room 1928 that is willing to part with one magazine.

Blanksguy Posted February 9 Report Share Posted February 9 Post some clear photos of your BFONG magazines from different sides.....and if possible, taken apart. Robb (Atlantic-Wall-Blanks) makes the 9.3mm Blanks for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't want to start bending metal to get the spring and follower out, but it works just like a 45 magazine. The difference is the head of the magazine that holds the 9.3 blanks. The magazine is inserted into the Thompson like any magazine, but as you can see by the pictures, the blank is inserted backwards. The fifth picture is the top of the magazine without the blank, and picture 6 is with the blanks installed. If you or anyone can help me obtain a magazine or two, I'd greatly appreciate, regardless of the cost. Thank you!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanksguy Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 If I didn't know better, the magazines appears to have been made with a standard 30-rd. Thompson magazine.......with the front cut out and some type of standard (cheap) 9mm SMG magazine used for the modification (.....such as a Sten-Gun-Magazine.....or Vigneron (?)). Placed in to feed to the rear, then welded in place (?). Take a photo with the magazine baseplate removed (if possible) to see inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanksguy Posted February 11 Report Share Posted February 11 Next....once we get the how-to sorted out.....you may need to place an ad over on the "Weapons-Guild"........."Want Someone To Make a Few Magazines For Me.". There are several persons over on that Boad that could make these for you.....or may have already made them (?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent Vartanian Posted February 11 Author Report Share Posted February 11 Thanks so much Blanksguy. Attached are the new pictures requested. Hope it shows what you need to see. It was most likely made from the standard 45 30rd magazine, modified. I've never looked at Weapons-Guild - thanks for that lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
