csspecs 1,987 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 We are currently on track to having these for sale by the end of the month. Pricing is slightly higher as we have several special tools that had to be made. Projected price is $46.50 per magazine. Body halves before locating welds Bodies after welding Quote Link to post Share on other sites
schultze13 354 Posted August 2, 2011 Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Please dont make them!!!!!! I have been succsessful in not giving in and buying a S-100 because of no spare mags and if you do this how am I going to be able to stop myself from buying one.

csspecs 1,987 Posted August 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ha, well I'd like to see them imported again. They are nice rifles right out of the box, trigger pull is fine, safety is a one finger operation. The only thing I do not like is the factory scope mount (side scope rail). Its higher due to the safety, thus you get only a chin weld. I'm planning on getting a dog leg top cover for the rifle we have, it should be the perfect solution to the only issue the rifle has.

csspecs 1,987 Posted August 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The one on gunbroker looks to have been an 01' import. I don't know of any imported in 01 so it probably is a sample. You could email EAA to find out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one I was talking about is still there http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=244138595 read the bottom of the post he said there are no extra mags available. He should do a little more research. I would like to have it but I am not paying $750 for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let me know when you run the 30.06 and I'll test them all you want. I will. We have testers now. Test mags are going off. And I finally got around to shooting the rifle today with all the complete parts. I hope they fit in everyone else rifles as nicely as mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vols1 2 Posted September 8, 2011 Report Share Posted September 8, 2011 Those look great. Good profile. Not too long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAMAGE855 0 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 Recieved test mag on friday. Nice heavy duty construction.good finish. Fit is nice and tight. Tested in the house with dumby rounds and it fed and ejected fine. Will live fire test tommorow. My impression so far is that this is what the rifle should have had from the factory and not the plastic 3rd mags Quote Link to post Share on other sites
csspecs 1,987 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Up to about 300+ rounds in my own test mags. Testers are at a combined total of 700+ without a malfunction yet. So they are now available for sale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAMAGE855 0 Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Ok test is complete. Fired 80rds no problems with feeding or extraction. They only thing I had to do is file the front locking area of the mag a little because it was hard to remove. After that taking it in and out was a breeze! As soon as I get paid im ordering some more :-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bangbox 5 Posted March 6, 2012 Report Share Posted March 6, 2012 (edited) Thank you For making this!!! Just ordered mine... If I haden't given up looking last summer I'd have ordered sooner. Ha, well I'd like to see them imported again. They are nice rifles right out of the box, trigger pull is fine, safety is a one finger operation. The only thing I do not like is the factory scope mount (side scope rail). Its higher due to the safety, thus you get only a chin weld. I'm planning on getting a dog leg top cover for the rifle we have, it should be the perfect solution to the only issue the rifle has. Could you explain the dog leg top cover? did you ever get this done? Edit: never mind I remeber what your talking about. I checked it out last year. lol Edited March 6, 2012 by bang box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kdcgrohl 0 Posted October 27, 2022 Report Share Posted October 27, 2022 Apologies for the resurrection here... but does anyone have one or two of these mags they would let go of? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
