Worth the gamble, just bought 10.

I bought one as a test. It was literally brand new. Bought 2 more, same thing.
I just bought 4 more.

Just ordered a couple.

I ordered 4 earlier this year, they were pretty nice. Got another 6 because you can never have too many!

They have the FAL kits for $300 as well. Better deal than they were before since they look pretty rough in pics.

Do those magazines have Israeli markings? I just ordered the Light Barrel kit... would be nice to have some matching Mags

Of the 4 I ordered earlier this year, 3 were marked, 1 was not. If you order a handful, you'll likely get some that are. I have Galil mags that are like that too, some get the stamp, others didn't.

Ordered 2 to see what happens.

Cool. Ordered 4 to see the condition. May get a few more, depending on what condition they are in.

I ordered one a few months back. It was in unissued condition. 99+% but no markings. Perfect function.
I ordered 2 more. They were obviously issued but in very good condition and are marked.
I ordered 4 more with this sale.

Ordered 10, hopefully they arrive in the condition stated above!

got a couple on the way.

Shot the FAL yesterday, what an enjoyable rifle to shoot.
Should take her out more !!

Ordered five and three are Hebrew marked, these mags appear almost unused, just need cleaning.

Posted: 8/4/2020 4:35:16 PM EDT

Ordered 4. Don't know why, I have plenty of FAL mags.

The 4 I ordered arrived today. None were marked, which is not a big deal to me. I just got finished taking them apart and cleaning them. You will need to do this as they are filthy. Prior to cleaning, I would guess that 2 were unused. Two were lightly used. One appeared to have been "serviced" and when reassembled the floor plate was deformed and would not lock in. Not a big deal, couple taps with a brass hammer and all is well. The other lightly used one appears to have been at the bottom of the pile in a damp box. A little bit of rust visible on the outside, once I got the floor plate off, there was quite a bit more rust on the inside. Pretty much all surface rust except the very bottom of the spring. It was heavier there, but still not close to rusting through. After cleaning up the rust, inside and out, I found a small dent in one side. After putting it back together I found it did not hinder movement of the follower.

I am happy with the purchase and will order some more. They are in very good condition for the most part, but are very dirty from being stored in less than optimum conditions, likely since about the time Isreal stopped using them.

Edit. Tried putting more in my cart on two different devices. Got an error code each time. Although it didn't list them as OOS, could be the issue I guess. Oh well.

Both mine have J3wl5h runes.

They need to be taken apart and cleaned but are otherwise very good.

Posted: 8/6/2020 6:58:27 AM EDT

[#16]

Ordered 10, 9 look brand new. Not sure how many are marked.

Posted: 8/6/2020 12:53:08 PM EDT

[#17]

I got two, one Izzy marked and one generic looking metric mag.

Both in decent shape but a little surface rust.

Should clean up just fine.

Posted: 8/6/2020 4:49:29 PM EDT

[#18]

Got the 4 I ordered. All are in unissued condition with one Hebrew marked.
They were a little dusty but once I wiped them off they were fine. Pulled them apart and they were clean on the inside.

Posted: 8/6/2020 5:50:56 PM EDT

[#19]

I'm glad to hear positive reviews. Can't wait for mine!

Posted: 8/6/2020 6:13:08 PM EDT

[#20]

I think this entire shipment came in brand new The last shipment that a few other places had was the same.

Get while the gettin's good.

Posted: 8/7/2020 3:53:40 PM EDT

[#21]

I ordered a couple just on the off chance I might get Izzy marked mags.

PSA shipped them a week ago but as of today UPS doesn't know what the fuck they did with 'em.

I may or may not get them if UPS can't figure out where they went.

Posted: 8/7/2020 4:55:17 PM EDT

[#22]

Got the two I ordered today. Both are used, but externally are near new condition. One has a fair amount of surface rust inside, like it was put away wet. Should clean up easily, though. Both lock in fine, but one takes a little more effort and doesn't rattle around as much. Both lock the bolt back when empty.

I'll try to take them out and run some rounds through this weekend.

Got my 6 today, 4 marked, all in excellent condition. One looks unissued.

Posted: 8/8/2020 11:02:32 PM EDT

[#24]

I got 6 today of which all are REALLY rusty, two of them look like they lived in saltwater long enough to be beyond severely pitted.
Maybe some of it will wash off the other four, but I’m thinking they will take an evaporust bath this week and see what’s left of them when they come out..
Rolled the dice, came up a little short.
probably got 4 mags that will be usable And will refinish, I’d imagine and two that may work but no hiding where they’ve been.
Good news is my kit looks good

My 10 came in last friday, 4 mags were excellent and the rest were most certainly used.

Quite a bit of rust on them, Im soaking them in some oil currently. I hope most of the rust will come off with that oil bath and some general cleaning.

Ordered mine on the 4th. Shipped via UPS. Still not here. Hope they are worth the wait.
Placed an order on the 7th with another vendor also in SC. USPS had it here on the 10th.

Posted: 8/11/2020 5:39:50 PM EDT

[#27]

Got 4 more coming plus 2 more parts kits.
Shipped the mags separately from the parts kits...

Freaking scored on my last batch of 10!

My first batch of 11 was so/so condition, some great, some good, 1 rusty. Not all Israeli.

But this was great.

The ones with the parked followed have the Izzy marking, all in fantastic shape.

Those do look great !!

I ordered six, five were perfect, no markings whatsoever. The sixth mag has a bit of surface rust inside and out.

Got 4 nice one's. Two marked, two unmarked. I'll put the two marked on my table at the next gun show.

Posted: 8/12/2020 1:31:37 PM EDT

[#32]

the mags that aren't marked, would those be FN mags?

Posted: 8/12/2020 1:39:12 PM EDT

[#33]

I'm guessing the unmarked mags are FN but hard to know.

I think the Izzys got some of their FAL parts directly from FN.

Posted: 8/15/2020 5:28:01 PM EDT

[#34]

All gone. I wish I would have ordered more.

Posted: 8/16/2020 10:37:52 AM EDT

[#35]

Got 10 delivered Friday. All have never been used. Didn't look close enough to see if any were marked.
