"why in the hell would they take perfectly good mags to start with and modify them?" Thanks for passing that article along, it cleared up a lot of questions along the way I would wonder to myself:
Mac 10 9mm magazine for sale mac#
Link for the MAC MAN book everything you need to know about MACs Powder Springs, Marrietta, RPB, SWD, Texas Macs, NJ MACs etc. From my observations, most were NOT cobra marked. I have seen 1971-72 era boxes of 4 NIW magazines, some were Cobray marked some were not. As far as Cobray markings some magazines have them, some do not.
The magazine pictured are indeed the "Walther" mags for 9mm MAC 10, but they won't work in a Walther MPL because the stop tabs are in a different location. Inside of it was retention straps with mags,fake Suppressor, and the MAC10 itself.If I remember correctly he told me that he paid around $200-$250 for it back in 1972-73ish time frame. His setup, which I have not seen again had a factory soft side carry case with MAC logo. He had never shot it since he received it directly from them. I was able to shoot that MAC10 years ago. I was fortunate enough to have a friend that was older, he told me stories about driving down to MAC HQ and picking up his MAC back in the 70's. But know exactly where it was at and have driven by many,many times.Marietta is a smaller town in COBB county that has a lot gun stores and family owned small business's. I wasn't old enough to have been able to visit the facility when it was around. Its a larger city now, nothing like Atlanta but larger than I remember it as a kid. I'm one of the few who was actually born and raised in Georgia. I see you're from Marietta GA! What's it like there? That's were Military Armament Corporation moved to after closing their Powder Springs operation. You'll have to google MAC 10 Magazines, and look for MAGs for MACs to find it. No, the Small Arms review article isn't on this forum. My book shows that some were marked with a number 4 and a letter Q. They function flawlessly in my Powder Springs M10.Īre the mags with the logo early production you think? Or is it just random luck? I have a few myself with the MAC logo on them. I have 10 that look just like yours but are marked with the MAC/Cobray logo on the front. The newer ones had the magazine stops press punched into the body like what you see on an MPL but lower on the body like in your photos. It looks to me that you have the ones with just the MP 9mm stamp. Slight modifications were made to the magazines to adapt them to fit and function in the Model 10.Some have the MAC/Cobray logo on them, some do not but all have MP 9mm or MPL stamped on the side. The photos in the book show those markings on the back of the magazine. The early modified ones have a rectangular stop welded to the side. According to them The Military Armament Corporation imported the 32 round Walther MPL 9mm submachine gun magazines from Germany. I have a book THE MAC MAN by Frank Iannamico and Don Thomas published 2011.
