[TheBoss930]

Here's some original military mags for $3! I don't have one, but I thought I'd pass this link along.

Not that long ago you could buy these for a buck apiece in bulk...but when you consider the prices of other .308 MBR magazines it is a good argument to buy a PTR. It was one of the reason I bought my PTR 51 PDW....50 mags for 50 bucks was too good to pass on...all were used but in good shape.

BTW despite CTD saying they will fit a CETME with minor fitting I never could even tho I destroyed a couple while trying...I stick with original CETME mags for my CETME.

I have a CETME and all it took to get these mags to work perfectly was to draw file off a couple thousandths of an inch off the bottom of the magwell. Much easier than trying to "adjust" each mag.

But with CETME mags so cheap as well why alter your gun?

CETME mags weren't as common/cheap when I bought the gun. At the time I was getting NIP aluminum G3 mags for $3. I only paid like $300 for the gun and a little black sharpie on the mag well fixed the shiny stainless steel. I also installed the paddle mag release myself. It's now a G3 clone and one of my favorite guns.

I had to replace the rollers in mine but after that it runs flawlessly...went HK green on mine...

matches the FAL...wish I could find 3 dollars mags for it!

Didn't know they were so common! Thought it was a good price, so I passed the link along

As I said it is a great argument to buy a PTR 91, 50 magazines for 150 bucks compared to any other 308 MBR magazine is a steal. I would be hard pressed not to take magazine price into consideration especially these days with uncertainty of how long hi-cap mags will be available.

CTD has also at times has the steel G3/PTR-91 Mags for $2.95 if you really want to go old school. Every time I get a batch of these mags I love to look at the manufacture date, oldest one for me is a 1958 made by HK. I would love to find reasonable priced HK-93 mags, the 25 round type are like Elvis sightings ( every one sees him but no one has him ) at any price and the HK 30 rounds are in the $69+ range. Yes I know there are plastic made by Pro-Mag that will work after a little Dremmel-Fu but I would love to have one or two of the 25 rounders without signing away my first born male child. HK still hates us.

Many gun owners are upset with them because during the post-Sandy Hook run on guns/ammo/mags, CTD jacked up their prices on magazines sky-high. Many viewed this as gouging gun owners when the supply was low, and they haven't forgotten it.

That may be so but how many local LGS to you sell anything for HK-91 or 93 type weapons? I own both clone types and in 2013 you got them when and where you could find them. CTD is out to make money and yes I looked around for 91 mags at a good price and I buy at CTD when the price is good and hold my nose.

HK Parts dot net has 36 packs of aluminum mags for ~$125 or just shy of $3.5 per mag. They have steel available also but the price doubles.
