Came across some magazines..... What the heck are they?

Sometimes you can't say no to a deal, even if you have no idea what you're buying, just that it's super low priced.
That said, I don't own a single magazine using rifle. My levers and .22 auto are all tube fed, but I couldn't say no to these cheaply priced magazines, but what the heck are they? Anybody have a clue?

Need pics of the top, bottom, and other side too please.

It's a "big'un" whatever it is. Dwarfs an '06. But not very high capacity either. I'll bet it isnt long before someone knows

50 Browning is OAL = 5.45", so that's out.

338 Lapua is 3.7 or so. So what's an inch longer than lapua but shorter than 50 BMG that was used in a single stack mag. Looks military(ish) but no markings seems odd

.406 Chey Tac then, also EDM arms

.406 Chey Tac OAL = 4.547", so that fits.

I'd expect anyone making mags for a round that expensive to put their name on the mag. . .

Three of the four are definitely green tinted, one much more tan.

Green tint suggests military use to me. Big cartridge for use on light armored vehicles maybe pre-WW2?

Just my thinking
But I was thinking more of a reproduction of a military arm. Or converted to semi and imported. I cant imagine any big company leaving their name off. And the cheaply folded edges to hold the floor plate seem more utilitarian than high end. And I would think a true military mag would be marked, as all mine are. Even old ak 74 mags had them. But perhaps there are some that aren't. I'm interested though

The M8c .50 cal. spotting rifle round is 4.53" OAL. However, the magazine for that weapon is more curved.

I was going to say 408 CT but I think its solved.

.408 Cheyenne Tactical or.....
Maybe .416 Barrett.

Some .408 Chey Tac mags I found online, these look similar:

That Alpha mag has the manufacturer's mark on the back. I don't know what marks the XLR mag has.

Here's another one, on Chey Tac's own website:

I think the giveaway is the third rib, which is wider and deeper on both the OPs mag and the Chey-tac. Nice catch, Odd Job!

Nice catch @Odd Job .

@FlSwampRat , you are now obligated to post pictures of the rifle you buy to go with them.

Those magazines could end up costing the OP a lot of money!
