L1A1 Inch Magazine Source?

tsmgguy · February 26, 2009, 13:25

Anybody know where I can find a few nice Australain L1A1 magazines? They seem to have pretty much dried up. Thanks!

Try Numrich. www.e-gunparts.com
They claim to have them.
Don't know about the quality though.

I ordered one (in the past month and a half) from Numrich that was warped. The magazine side walls were not at 90 degree angles to the front and rear walls. I returned it and it was backordered for a couple of weeks. The replacement looks new except for a small dent about 3 inches down from the feed lips on the right side. I will have to test it, but I don't have any L1A1 rifles built yet so I hope that I can fix it if it has feed problems, because I doubt that it will be within 30 or 60 days that I get a L1A1 built.
Thorgrimm found some L1A1 mags in serviceable shape at a place in North Kansas City MO (have not ordered any--not sure if they do mail order sales--look in FAL groups by state and his post is in the Missouri section from a couple of months past). Apex Gun Parts in CO has them in good shape (have not ordered any). I think that J and G Sales has them too (I am waiting on an order for them). Good luck to you.

I got one from APEX a good while back. Used condition mag, but no problems. I would try them.

Thanks, guys! I'll try those leads.

I received my 5 mags from J and G earlier this week (or was it late last week), and 1 appeared to be about excellent, one very good, and the other 3 appeared to be good, serviceable condition (no dents or bent feed lips) and with no corrosion on any of the springs. The good serviceable condition mags I put naval jelly onto (the mag bodies) to get rid of any paint that would come off and then I rubbed Corrosion-X onto to keep rust away until refinishing.
