    To BillIwin;

    Bill, I don't know abot the magazine, but the ammo is easy enough to fake up. All you do is use .50BMG brass, anneal the necks, sweat on a headspacing belt, lathe-turn some .562" projectiles and seat them in. Make the projos with a boat-tailed base and they will expand the brass as you shove 'em in. Apart from the belt and projectile diameter, the two rounds were peas in a pod. Cheaper than 30 bucks a pop for real ammo, too.... and it won't hurt nearly as much when somebody steals one from your exhibit (as they will, eventually).

    Hope this helps a bit.
