Just as a reference, they run right around $50 in the US. Sometimes more. A GOOD buy here would be picking up good serviceable mags ( with finish wear, slight rust) for $35 US.
Thanks for that, I'm surprised at the price in the US, then again I suppose certain states the magazines do have a use rather than just display:DQuote:

I often heard the one flaw of the M3 design was the magazineAttachment 97777Attachment 97776Attachment 97775
I have to admit the the mags I'm after are not for an M3 but for something I'm working on as I needed .45 mags and chose them as the look very similar to the Sten mag but obviously bigger to take the .45.
I do have the M3 hand book I picked up at the War and Peace show, it details the wooden training aid, I've seen one somewhere in the past but where I don't remember.
A suppressed Sten in .45 ACP? Neat, show us after...videos...Quote:

Love to see after the re-configuration...even if you gotta PM me. Love a new idea, it gives me something to feed off during the dark season.
Straight pull, SA or FA? Suppressed? Still cool if not.Quote:

A copy of the Mk7 Sterling was made by P.A.W.S. in .45 ACP. It uses M3 mags.
Agreed on all points Vincent...would like to wring one out.
