At that price - NO WAY.
Straight 30 round factory stick mags should be around $20ish or less. I own a bunch and prefer the curved as on occasion a select few jam / fail to advance rounds properly. I think that's why HK had a design change to curve 30 rounders to lessen the problems. |

They're good mags, but I have to agree with the above poster that $50 each is way too high.

They're OK mags but, they can have feed/fit issues, especially with heavy ball and hollow point ammo, and in some clone guns.
If you dig around they can still be bought in the $30 range for VG to EXC condition mags. |

$30-35 is what I see them going for. I would buy them all day long at $20.

Market rate on them these days is $35-$40+ Sven Manticore Arms. |

I am positive I paid no more than $10ea and they were all in like new condition. Granted that was a few years ago .... I still occasionally see them online in the $20ea range at various sites. If they were easy to find at that price, others wouldn't be asking more. You gotta do your own diggin' if you want the deals

Yeah, $10 or even $20 each....not so much these days, that is a few years off on the current pricing, even for "deals" |

I have used the straight mags in my MP-5, with no issues.
I thought I read they were designed for hollow point ammo? Anyway, they are half the price of curved mags. |

The curved mags were designed to resolve hollowpoint issues with the straight mags. But they look so cooool..... |

wait, will a hollow point feed in an mp5? Yes, why wouldn't it. Every police department you see with MP5s is using hollow point ammo. |

It would be a poor smg design if it can only fire fmj ammo. |

The stick mags came out first, the designed the curved mags to feed hollow points better. I have one stick mag that came with my MP5 parts kit, I ordered a couple of the curved mags, they look better.

My MP5/ D54 is being currently built by Dakota Tactical, Joe has commented there won't be any issues shooting HP ammo. I can understand where early model MP5s may have been biased towards military ball ammo, but that went away a long time ago. Even back in the day when I was in the service I used MP5s with FMJ and HP ammo. |
