30 round FAL mags - Shankton

Just got some of these 30 round FAL mags from Tony Shankton. I'd never seen 30 rounders' and all I had read here was that the DSA mags were made to be shot with the mag pointed down not up and the springs were a problem.

Well, Shankton has figured out how to make 30 round mags that are simply awesome. I bought and tested one this weekend in 3 different Fals, it worked flawlessly in all three.

I even tried to see if I can make it jam, by shooting fast, slow, topping off mag, running empty, etc. No problems.

I'm buying more, these things are great and Shankton is a pleasure to business with. Ordered by paypal, mags arrived in 3-4 days.

BTW he also had some 50 round AK74 mags for my SAR 2. I bought two and they are awesomely cool in appearance and also work flawlessly.

I just placed another order with him for more mags.

He's got a posting on the for sale ads.

FWIW, I don't have any connection with him, never talked or met him, just a guy doing good work and I want to spread the word he makes good stuff.
