Can someone tell me what each of these are. I bought a bunch of stuff and these were in the stuff.

The first one looks like a postban Beretta magazine, the second looks like a USA Brand P226 magazine, the third looks like a USA Brand Beretta magazine and the last one looks like a USA Brand FAL magazine.

Looks like:

Beretta or Taurus 10 round
Beretta 15 round
Beretta 30 round
FAL maybe

Gonna agree with Cool 9mm.

Three berettas and a FAL.

BTW, how much you want for the 3rd beretta mag?

If it's a USA mag, probably more than it's worth. No offense, Jeeper.

I dont think they area ll the same since the holes dont line up with eachother.

I dont get the joke here. Are USA beretta mags crap?

The second one has cutouts more like a Taurus PT92, the third one doesn't appear to have cutouts at all...

the 1st mag is for a beretta 92, post-ban 10 round, aftermarket...possibly usa or promag(note the limiting cut, rather than factory fold)...but with the beretta floorplate

the 2nd mag is a factory beretta, either pre-ban for 92 or post-ban 96 (the share the same bodies), the floorplate is either the military m9 or aftermarket.

{it looks like the owner switched the floorplates and follower between mags 1 and 2)

the 3rd is the 33rd mag for the beretta as mentioned already, it also has the factory floorplate (looks like from a pre-ban 96)...so maybe it is from a beretta 93R machine pistol

the 4th mag is for a fn fal (note the front "hook" and the rear rib)

Although the 3rd mag looks like a Beretta 9mm mag, wouldn't those little "catch" nipples on it hang on something going in?

Also, as braindead0 mentioned, there doesn't appear to be the usual mag-catch notch cut in the 3rd mag.

:confused: LL :confused:

you know, now that you mention it...i guess i was just focusing too much on the folds, indentions and floorplates.

i'm thinking the lower set looks about right as a "stop" to prevent over insertion

It always amazes me the amount of knowledge that is here.

Thanks guys

here is a little added tidbit...

on the 2nd mag...
1. if the lower indention were just a hair longer
2. and a bit wider
3. the magcatch cutout were a bit lower

it could pass for a sig 226 mag... the mag with the beretta floorplate won't fit in the sig as it interfers with the sides of the grips

The first mag looks like an aftermarket P99 mag, except the cutout is too low. The second mag looks like a factory(mec gar) P88 mag, except once again the cutout is too low. I guess the Beretta mags will work in the P88 with a new notch.

"USA" FAL Mag? To my knowledge, there is no such thing. The only aftermarket FAL mags I've ever seen have been 5 and 10 rounders.

Hard to tell from the picture, but that looks like an Israeli metric FAL mag to me, from the finish. Same kind you get from CDNN.

Can't help on the pistol mags; most 9mm mags look alike to me.
