This wouldn't surprise me. From time to time magazine components show up at Brownells or Midway. Along with other small parts.

Smith might be commissioning sub contractors to keep a trickle of parts going.

We can only hope.

Is S&W actually manufacturing or contracting them as he said? Or is S&W just releasing new old stock? I have no idea.

One thing is for sure: I haven't seen any 10mm magazines in new style packaging and the same goes for 4013/4053 magazines as well.

3913/3953/908 magazines? I'd have to say that the verdict is still out on them.
