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.

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.
