Just received 10 110rnd King Arms mags for the AGM MP40...

BUT THEY DON'T FIT!!!

They insert, but don't seem to make it to the mag-catch. Anyone aware of this problem? Know of a mod/fix? Or am I screwed and need a different brand of Magazine (not that there's much out there...)?

I posted this on our forum this week, but here's a huge ammount of pictures from WW2airsoft.fr You need to make an account, but it's worth it.

It's a little more... uh... French...? Than I can handle, seeing how I don't speak or read the language.

It's only pictures... The text are the re-enactors' names, unit name, and background of the picture

My bad... thought you posted a response to my MP40 mag dilemna...

Cool pics, though.

Boyso · March 18th, 2011, 22:03

Yeah sorry, your reply just reminded me of this thread :P

Well, they are decent for the price. They were not giving a perfect feed in my mp40 without a magwell modification.

Since I bought these mags a year ago, 2 of them broke out of 5. After the modification, they fed well but I have since replaced them by AGM low-caps which are much more durable.

Just did the mod... Worked perfectly; the mags are in nice and secure!

Thanks, BoGrain!

EDIT: For anyone else who tries this, but it doesn't seem to work, once the mod is done and reassembled, the mags will need a good, sharp smack on the base to seat them. But once in, they're nice and solid!

Putting some new gear to work, including a new, better fitting belt and suspenders from At The Front...

I look at these pictures and start to think... December, 1944...

baker_Jeff · March 28th, 2011, 00:10

Nicely done!

Frozen Tex · March 28th, 2011, 07:50

Thanks, man! Now I need some canvas gaiters to cover up my modern boots...

I figure not bad, considering the pants and shirt are Old Navi, and the jacket is from Mark's Work Wearhouse...

Boyso · March 28th, 2011, 09:03

Nice kit!

How much was shipping for ATF? They quoted me some incredibly bullshit shipping costs.

Like 50$ for a 85$ jacket by EMS...

Retailers in the United States tend to use UPS; hence, the brokage fees get very expensive.

Boyso · March 28th, 2011, 09:06

They actually offered me both.

And EMS is supposed to be much cheaper than UPS normally, no?

Anyway, <3 WPG
