K98 Trench Magazines

I have a pair of them. They work fine but can get in the way of some prone shooting.

Ugly things.

Can have feeding issues with 308 rifles. I installed a block in one to correctly locate rounds for feeding.
 
Apart from sheer size and weight, I have had good results with mine. It works okay.

Only thing that would be a bobble might be the clearance between the top of the extension magazine box and the bottom of the installed magazine box. A good bit of mud could slide through there with very little trouble.

Mine is Bing/Nurnberg manufacture. I have not had one from the "J" plant to test.

Bing made toys in peacetime, so I guess you could say that this thing IS a toy.
 
Just picked up one of these from Corwin's recent sale. Anyone know why they are pinned? I didn't think there were any semi's that used this mag.
 
I was looking for an fr8 to convert to a bipod trench mag rifle

mine worked well on the fr8. you can drill out the pin FYI, was just necessary to get the mag across the borer from what I understand.

I have one that works on a Chilean 1912. I believe Martin said that the country that they were made in has a 15 round limmit.
