Thanks guys. Does anyone have any experience ordering FAL magazines from What-a-Country and Palmetto State Armory? Would I get what is advertised? I saw those, W-a-C had good looking ones (but so did RTI and SG!).
I almost have my target supply of FAL mags. I went to the gunshow this morning and found a stack of 8, mix of Austrian and what look to be German or Argentinian, for $15 that were in VG condition at least. Worst one has a little cosmoline sticking the follower, and they need to be cleaned. Then I found 5 more for $25, but these were brand new unissued Austrian mags in the wrapper (I'd pay that much for new DSA mags, were DSA ever to stock FAL mags...). Find! (My wife actually found them...) I should send SG pictures of these so they know what "excellent to like new" means. Only wish the dude had more.
But this is disturbing: a lady upstairs had a LOT of FAL mags, even some used, non-DSA 30rd ones. How much? For good to very good, she wanted $35 ea., and for the better quality ones $50. For the used 30rd. mags: $85. I said "really" or something along those lines, and her response was that they were getting rare. "Not that rare," I said. The $50 may have been the Korean ones, they looked new, but odd, but at her prices, I didn't stick around to check.
NOT paying those prices again... EVER!
