Description
This lot consists of 11 semi-automatic pistol magazines primarily designed for 1911-pattern handguns and Springfield Armory EMP models, chambered in .45 ACP and 9mm. The collection features a variety of finishes including blued steel and stainless steel, with some units equipped with polymer basepads and others with traditional flat metal baseplates. Key markings include one blued magazine stamped ACT-MAG, MADE IN ITALY, and .45 ACP with witness holes numbered 3 through 8. Another stainless steel magazine is marked MFG. IN ITALY BY MEC-GAR FOR SPRINGFIELD ARMORY on one side and EMP and 9MM on the other. The assortment includes two magazines with red followers and polymer baseplates, several standard single-stack 1911 magazines with varying witness hole configurations, and stainless steel variants including one with an extended polymer finger rest. These magazines are intended for use with single-stack semi-automatic pistols and the reduced-frame Springfield EMP platform.
Condition report:
The magazines are in good overall condition, showing typical signs of handling and use. The blued finishes exhibit light wear and minor thinning at high points and along the magazine tubes from insertion into a firearm. The stainless steel magazines remain bright with only superficial surface marks. Followers and springs appear to function correctly with consistent tension, though the magazines have not been live-fire tested. There are no significant dents, cracks, or structural issues observed on the magazine bodies or baseplates.
