I came acrossed these mags last week and i would like to know more about them. Like who makes them and if they are reliable. The only thing i could find after an hour of searching here and the rest of the web was a blog showing a guy using them but it was from 2010 and there was very little info on them. Here is the link Magazines for .22 conversion of HK G3/PTR91 - Oleg Volk
I will post some pics of the ones i have. I cant seem to find any markings to id them.

Forgot to mention it says on the side of the magazine "made in America by Americans"

I believe they were made by Black Dog Machine.

the ones I have I bought through Bazooka Brothers. They also for a time made an adapter that let you run AM180 drums through the G3 22 conversion kit.

Yep. Just looked at a pic of the feed tower for bazooka bro ad180 adaptor and they look almost identical except doubled up with a spring and follower inside. Does anyone still sell them? Or do you happen to recall how much they sold for. I got these for $25 each and the seller still had a few left. If thats a good deal i might see if he would want to sell the rest.

Well, I knew the name of the manufacturer started with a "B".

originally the mags sold for $59.95, as $25 ea I'd buy them all.

The other option is black dog machine, makes an adapter that lets you use their UZI .22 mags.

What option would be more reliable?

 

[jdonovan]

its a .22, so I'd say it depends alot on how the tolerance stack in your specific gun. I don't run that much through the 91 conversion kit but the BB mags have been reliable enough for my uses, but they are basically unobtainium now. I'd buy the ones you've found, if they don't run well for you, someone else here has a setup that does run'em well, and will likely pay what you've got into 'em so no loss either way.

Thanks for all the info.
