15-22 and gsg 1911 mags

#1 Post by Adamdavi3s »

I’ve recently discovered the joy of my semi autos so looking for some used 15-22 and/ or gsg 1911 magazines as the new prices are a bit mad

I had a lot of questions until I saw the link in your signature.
In what way worn out?

Also sidebar: do you have any worn out AR15 in .300blk 🤣

Just quoting your post as a notification I might be interested in some of the mags depending on what way they’re worn out

I am going to guess the feed lips are gone, through either wear or being dropped during reloads. It causes the top round to angle up rather than being held at the correct angle to be picked up by the bolt. This causes stoppages making the mag unusable. Probably work fine for reloading practice with empty mags though.

Fifty? Here the darn things are almost $100 each. I don't know anybody who has more than a handful.

There seems to be a nationwide dump of them after the recent shortage but the best price i've seen them for is £36 :bad:
