Saw a Factory Cobray fiber optic sight today for a M11

[chas8008]

It was still in the box from the 70s-80s(?) with the instructions.
I have never seen such a sight and google does not have any photos for me to post. The counter guy did not know the price and told me to call the owner on Monday..

And thoughts UziTalk??

That sounds right. You could not see thought the sight and see the target. You only saw the glowing dot.

The plastic fiber optic goes to the front of the gun.

Any idea of it vaule?

About $400 NIB. See here

The tritium on that one is likely quite dead but can be reactivated by Trijicon I imagine.

Oh boy... Here we go again.

There are no reliable metal magazines for the single feed M11/9 other than the converted Argentine PAM2 and the converted Madsen mags. Best of luck.
The Armson optic and mount are a cool piece of MAC history, but probably not something I'd be interested in owning unless I could get them really cheap. I saw one of these optics many years ago attached to a "combat" shotgun. It's an interesting concept.

South Africa used them on their BXP

Armson are an old design but they were still being made last time I checked a few months ago. They are pretty popular for paintball. I would never shell out $400 for one but cobray stuff is collectable and the prices are all over the place.

Oh, you never know. One of the M11/9s I bought back in the last decade came with a couple of converted pistol mags. They looked like some kind of aftermarket mag for a Browning HP or S&W pistol. I say they were aftermarket, as they were 20-round capacity, and unmarked. They had spacers and a mag stop welded on front and back to fit the M11 magwell. Both of them ran just great, whether in stock high-speed mode, or with the gun in slow-fire mode.

I don't use them much because of the limited capacity, and the mag stop tends to wedge in place with the magwell that I welded on a couple of years later. They fit and function fine, but you have to pull them to get them out.

I ended up selling one when I sold one of the guns. I've got the other one around here somewhere.

That being said, I've never heard of Mega Mag brand. I'm not going to run out and buy a truckload, but I'd be interested to hear how they work out. I see they list TEC-9 mags by the same company as well. Who knows - if the M11 mags get a favorable report, I'll have to try a couple for the jam-o-matic TEC.

Mega Mags, National, Western.......are all the same mag sold under different names. The steel is thin, springs not so great, and manufacturing is very sloppy and inconsistant. You can pick some up but be warned. They are some of the worst mags out there reguardless of what firearm the magazine is for. They are bottom of the barrel magazines and make brands like USA Magazines look like mecgars. You might be able to get a few to work. How long is another question. Its pretty thin steel they use and does not apear to be heat treated. For $30 each hell no. You would be better off buying Mecgars and converting them somehow.
