Sarco and Keep Shooting are also out of the surplus 32rd magazines. You may be correct...

Perhaps, but the 10 and 50 magazine packs are still available from Robert.

unless it becomes illegal to import uzi mags id think there would be 1,000+ mags worldwide per Uzi in the USA....

they still make uzi's....arent they still making mags?

when i see uzi mags going for $150+ then you know they are running out

i pretty much gave away the 25 rounders 6 months ago as no one even bid on them on GB....

 

[MGMAN45]

Well I don't think they still make UZIs.

 

[IndyGunCollector]

Yes, IMI still sells brand new...umm....NIB mags.

 

[sleepy]

Yes, there is new production uzi mags but I am curious about surplus 32 round Uzi mags. There is 25 round surplus mags available but to me it seems the surplus 32 round rust free mags seems to be getting harder to find.

A few months ago, I called IWI in Harrisburg PA and ordered 4 Uzi 32 round Pro Mags to use in my UZI. They are backwards compatible made by IWI in Israel. We should include them as a version in the library. My evaluation is that they may be the best Uzi mags yet produced. Remember, IWI is the new IMI. RTG and a number of places sell them, I have seen them for less than what I paid.

Here is the link, and description,

Sooner or later all surplus mags will run dry. Look at Sten mags. There was a time that they were so cheap they were used as packing material and now they run $18-24.

Like I said on here a year or two ago, surplus Uzi mags are pretty cheap, especially considering if you adjust for inflation and go back in time. Stock up now because these weapons have fallen out of front line military service in countries like Israel and Germany and all surplus eventually dries up.

 

[sleepy]

Good to hear the IWI mags work good and not that much more than surplus mags.

Glad i loaded up years ago, have several still in org packing

 

[mmi]

some of the surplus stuff has been stopped by berry like m1grands

What do you like more about them? Thanks for the info. I hadn't seen these before

 

[Old Soldier]

They function 100%, No, grease, no mess, no rust, no cleanup. They are real IMI (now IWI) mags.

A few years ago, I bought 100 mags from RTG, all had to be degreased, most just had very light rust only on the out side. They were cheap as heck, but it did take some time to clean and test for reliability. I have used, just about every type of mag in the Uzi Talk Library, Mec Gar, German Surplus, Bird of Prey, Argentine 40 rounders etc, I like these new mags and the Mec Gar mags best.

I like the fact that these IWI mags are 100% reliable out the box with no cleaning or testing. They have a new slick plastic follower and they fit both my Uzi and my AR mag block that takes Uzi mags. Some Uzi mags are a very tight fit in my AR. Also, they do not seem to chip or get scratched the way other mags do?

Thanks for the info, Pat.

Could you tell me, is the feed angle less on the Uzi pro mags? The follower looks like it may be the case, but it's hard to tel from the pic.

 

[Old Soldier]

I do not know the angle, but here are some comparison photos. The first photos are of an IMI, 26 mag compared to the UZI pro mag, The group photo includes Mec Gar, Bird of Prey, German, IMI and an Argentine Mag, not in that order, I hope this helps. I would like hear other opinions on the Uzi Pro mags. I have a good experience with them in both my Uzi and my AR, but that is not the fiscal word.

What I meant was they don't make any full autos in large quantity anymore.There are some cl2s that are maybe making post samples.Only new UZIs are semi auto.and quality varies greatly.Take Care

 

[MGMAN45]

No ones making FA Thompsons anymore either.
