Title says it all. Someone on an american site is trying to tell me that Longbranch made about a million short bodied 20 rd mags. Can anyone confirm this? I've heard of the Indian mags converted to 20 rds using regular bodies but not this.

edited to add: I see that Sarco lists 20 rd mags but it doesn't state whether they are Indian conversions or what.

IIRC the total wartime production of sten mags is @1million. I've seen plenty of post-war mags & never seen a factory shorty.

Perhaps your friends are thinking about the CAL manufactured 10 round C-1 Sterling mags made here.

Sterling Ltd offered 5,10,15, 20 & std 34rd mags IIRC out of the UK.

I believe that the Sarco mags are Indian...
