FAL Metric 20rd Magazine, Steel (Used)

Just got the two mags I ordered. One was a 1963 South African marked magazine and the other was unmarked. Both were in very good shape with a little surface rust, which I can't believe people are complaining about since they're $20 FAL mags...if you actually USE your guns and don't care about some superficial cosmetic blemishes, these are a screaming deal.

Having ordered 10 mags I don’t think it’s luck anymore, these things are in very good shape for their age and show a lot of use. All of mine have had a light patina or heavy bluing wear but no surface or heavy rust, pitting, or dents. All but one locks back and they all cycle perfectly, I think a new spring might solve the problem but you can’t go wrong here for the money.

Decent surplus magazines. No significant damage. Some were rusty to the point that the followers would get stuck. I disassembled them, soaked the pieces in Evaporust, rinsed, oiled, reassembled and now they work perfectly. Good price for what they are. Several still had the names of African troops inscribed into them, pretty cool pieces of history.

Super cool, authentic, historic magazine. Mine came with some surface rust and scratches (obviously). It also has the previous owners name scratched in the mag. “K. MUKOMBE” is the name on it. Crazy considering how much the FAL was used in Southern Africa

The magazine I received is rusted inside and out over about 30-40% of its surface area.

I would recommend finding magazines elsewhere unless you intend on refinishing them.

Pretty good quality mags, had to file a little bit on the rear tab before they would lock into my rifle though.
