Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - Identifying FACTORY HK 30 round G3 magazines
Posted: 7/24/2015 12:22:09 PM EDT
I'm looking at getting a 30 round FACTORY magzine for my G3 family. I have seen 30 rd magazines advertised as factory HK, South African factory, and aftermarket.

Is anyone familiar with the markings on these? It looks like quite a premium for two steel mags cut and welded together. But, reliability is key. I know how unwieldy the 30s would be but I just want one for the stash.

The crappy ones are blued and look obviously cheap. The only other thing I have to add is the Buds Gun Shop has the 50 round drums for $200 or make offer.

RDTS makes some new ones in the style of the SA one below (good) for around $45



Good



Bad

(can't make it work- look here http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/49220

The two mags in Kletzenklueffer's first pic are mine, and they do work well.  



The mag of the left was mfg by MCP (Max Capacity Products) - the other is HK factory.
