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 Thanks to the guys on here that traded/ sold me mags. There has been some good leads for some mags in this post, I hope that others that need mags have found the info useful

I have some 20 rd DSA polymer mags I'd sell - that said I'd recommend going with surplus mags.

I've got a couple of those already, they are ok, looking to pick up more metal mags. Thanks

DSA's metal mags have a poor rep.  Best to go with surplus mags as they are GTG.

Keep an eye out on the Marketplace at www.falfiles.com --probably the only likely place to find an original mag at less than rapist prices--

I was able to get some for a little less but that's in the ballpark now for allow mags, sadly. The majority of mine I got a few years ago for $17 and change each, shipped. They do save a decent chunk of weight.

Yeah.. the junky plastic mags are about $25 - the real deal steel mags are twice, if not more, than that.

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.

Good for DSA.

However I don't intend to be a 'wind dummy' for their new "improved" mags - too many negatives from past experiences and observations.  I'll stick with my Belgian made mags.


but yeah.. I get it

Lol dude FAL mags have gone way up. 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.

First one linked was a completed sold auction which was for 3 at $87......

So unless you have a time machine, then no, it is not $50 each

Snagged some in like new condition at gun show yesterday for $5 a pop  

I’m now up to around 40 mags, 10 of which are dsa, and they seem to function fine for me in my Imbel/imbel.

all the ones I linked are still still waaaaaaaaaaaaay below $50 a pop.

Even the "sold" ones are between $25 to $35 each at most

so yeah, if you just bid on some on broker you can get em way below this mythical $50 each price

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've been doing this online gun thing for 20+ years and I've never heard of "snugbus".  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.

@SSeric02

I clicked on the link when I saw it in my email on Friday hoping to get a few of these but they showed as out of stock.

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

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.

They're only $20/ea and the pouch is $100.

I wish I had bought more at $5/ea.  Those have done better than my IRA.
