The NEW Auto Mag!

[tgt40]

Nice find.....that stuff goes for a lot of dough in the U.S.! The box looks in nice shape too.

There are handling smudging but other than that it's pristine the ammo is clean and bright. Scored it this summer and a few other goodies ( 38/40 cil whole box clean and few lose rounds ) its just something you don't see let alone find.

Yep. I was just talking to a guy about how old ammo boxes and ammo is becoming collectable. Got to admit, some of the old dominion boxes are neat!

I would be in for one. I have a friend who is obsessed with the Automag.

 

[Max Owner]

Maybe at SHOT there will be more info....

 

[bbartsch]

I hope so. I have my cash put aside already for one just in case. Pricing isn't likely to be real reasonable I would guess. Fingers crossed.

If you guys reload I'd stick with the classic calibers. Brass is expensive - but this aint' the gun for budget shooters - and Starline seems to be carrying 44 AMP brass regularly.

And if you're desperate, you can always form brass from cut down .308 Win brass.

So this is SORT of Auto Mag related......for those familiar with the history, Lee Jurras is inextricably tied to the AM and made some history with his Super Vel ammunition. Well it looks like Super Vel is making a comeback too!

Cool--although I think it might need a flash hider

Great stuff. I hope we don't have to wait too long for them to work their way up here, particularly the 8.5".

I turn 44 this year.

If it comes out soon, it would be an AWSOME coincidence.....

 

[Master-G]

This had sort of fallen off my radar...but I gotta admit that I'm now starting to get the fever for it.

Unfortunately, we've been hearing about the NEW AutoMag and the NEW Bren 10 for years now.

I certainly wouldn't hold my breath.

This project does seem to be a little further along than the VLTOR Bren Ten ever made it.

Yes I'm way more optimistic as these guys have functioning uppers and apparently full units now. Vltor never made it off the drawing-board unfort.

REAL men shoot .44 magnoons with one hand and no ear protection.

Woooo! I'd be in for one!

[Sharps '74]

Been there - done that. Wear hearing aids now to prove it.
