Anyone have any leads on where to get metal metric mags? DSA is taking forever to release their 20 rounders, the 10 rounders are nice though. ETA. I appreciate the offers for mags still coming in but I think I'm good for now |

If anyone is interested, Northridge International Inc. has two(2) "good condition" aluminum mags in a nylon pouch - ad says the mags are made by FN.. (?) https://www.northridgeinc.com/product-p/fal-mgab.htm |

The majority of mine I got a few years ago for $17 and change each, shipped. They do save a decent chunk of weight. |

Hold your breath a little while longer![]() DSA 20rd steel mag update! Available by April with an improved anti-tilt follower! #gun #fal #sa58 |
| They would have to get used and abused by others and establish a reputation for reliability before I'd even consider buying a DSA mag at this point. |

Avg price is 35-55 depending on origin and how bad someone wants it. You can occasionally score for less, but its a game of hoping the other guy(s) are drunk and forget about the auction. |
Seriously, I think the main point is “where can I go to a reliable vendor and buy some” and not “if you play auction sniper you might get lucky and score some deals”. I for one haaaate doing business on gunbroker. I’ve obviously done okay for myself on the EE but you have to be fast and that’s hard to do sometimes. Stuff that lingers is priced on the high side, hence the mythical price.I really hope DSA’s new-gen steel mags are good and help settle the market some. PSA’s Israeli mag blowout was a great thing when it went down. |

I for one haaaate doing business on gunbroker. they asked how to get metric mats. If your to lazy to pay 1/2 the price or more, just because you don't like auctions, well all for you then buddy, have at those $60 a pop magazines

It looks like the ancient format the old sturmgewehr site used. I'd be hesitant to give anyone there my email address, let alone any money. I'm not sure exactly what point you're making here, trolling (in the fishing sense) the secondary market and sketchy websites is a crappy way to do things. |

Wonder if they were ever available or maybe just a web site glitch. |

Wonder if they were ever available or maybe just a web site glitch. @Princeton Same thing happened to me Friday, but I signed back up and got another notification today and they were in-stock earlier today. ETA: OOS now. |

So unless you have a time machine, then no, it is not $50 each I remember when parts kit where at $150 and magazines around $10 during the mid 90s. I only picked up the STG58 mags at the time was not sure when I was going to get a FAL. I should had picked couple STG58 parts kits when I ordered the mags. Lack of foresight on my part. I forgot I picked up two FAL mags from a gun store in SLC. I did not know it was the Korean aftermarket magazines for 40 each. A bit tight in the mag well but so far functions fine. |
