Good deal on model 59 Mags!!

[USNPJS]

I just saw this and ordered some, being I just bought some Mec-gars as no factory mags seem to be readily available. Here's a 5 pack of used 15rd factory mags for $80! Seems like it couldn't hurt to have spares..

That is a good deal, thanks for posting that. Used factory 15 rnd mags for $16 apiece with free shipping.

I don't need 5, does anyone want to split an order?

 

[Jhawk412]

thanks

Yes, thanks for posting that. I was looking for some magazines too. I recently rediscovered the beauty of third gen smith autos and got a few of them but only one mag each. err...

 

[cpeblue]

There's no such thing as to many magazines .

 

[skjos]

Thanks for the heads up, order placed.

It looks like the free shipping deal is though 5/19/14 1PM EST (even though the link provided only shows it through the 16th).

 

[cballman]

I ordered mine on Sunday night. I will update when order is received.

 

[cballman]

Got my mags tonight when I got home after work. They look to be OE Smith mags. Out of the five One looks almost unused. The other ones look a little used. All five eject awesomely from the gun. Will check later to see if they all work with ammo and shoot with them.

Thanks for the update Cballman. I see you are around the corner from Centerfire, no surprise you received your mags so soon.
I hope mine are as nice as yours.

The deal is still active as of 5-21-14, FYI.

Received my order today, two LE marked and three unmarked, all decent and functional, however I had a charge I can only assume was for using a credit card, as well as a shipping charge! Which puts me at ninety three bucks, not happy about that, placed the order on the 17th.

 

[DASA]

Just checked, the 5er deal is gone, but now you can buy individual mags for $14.99!

9mm S&W 15rd Mags - Used #MAGSW5906

Considering centerfire has a flat $10 shipping charge, $16 a mag for 5 means shipping wasn't really free, now was it?

 

[rob99vmi04]

Wow thanks.

 

[skjos]

Received mine yesterday. All S&W mags, four of five LE marked, one lightly used, the other four well used. One of them was polished and had a little bit of rust near the floor plate, but all should clean up nicely.

The order slip showed the 5 mags for $70 ($14 per mag) with a 9.99 shipping charge.

Got mine as well, 1 LE marked and one other that had the smallest hint of rust on the bottom end that wiped off no problem. Interesting to note however that 2 had the mag springs in backwards, and of those one also had the follower in backwards.

So, of the 5 I took the cleanest 2 and threw them in the 915 box with the original mag to keep as spares. Intend to use one of the 17rd Mec Gars Mags as the "keep in it" mag, the rest are range mags.

Not Stainless Magazines?

Received mine yesterday. All S&W mags, four of five LE marked, one lightly used, the other four well used. One of them was polished and had a little bit of rust near the floor plate, but all should clean up nicely.

The ad states that the magazines are stainless steel. Why do you have rust on your magazines? Are they not stainless steel?

Would these magazines fit in the older Model 659, which I have?

Stainless CAN rust, it's just highly resistant to it

 

[jbltwin1]

Geez----$9.99 shipping for two mags? Kind of high. Still a good deal, I guess. I have extra mags but like stated above, you NEVER have enough! Mike

 

[jsbethel]

Yes, they will fit the 659.

Mine Arrived Today

Received mine yesterday. All S&W mags, four of five LE marked, one lightly used, the other four well used. One of them was polished and had a little bit of rust near the floor plate, but all should clean up nicely.

The order slip showed the 5 mags for $70 ($14 per mag) with a 9.99 shipping charge.

I ordered a 5-pack on the 17th but they were not shipped til the 22nd. (Shipped USPS Priority 2-day). From the on-line check-out it was pretty clear that they charged a flat $9.99 for shipping parts and accessories. (The charge for using a CC was a little vague). Anyway, they billed me $67.60 for the 5 magazines plus the shipping and CC fees.

The mags are all factory S&W mags; all need cleaning; 3 LE marked. The worst had a well-worn base plate, a number crudely scratched lightly in the front and light pitting. (I won't feel bad about dropping this one on the floor when doing a magazine change drill). Cycled dummies thru all 5 and they all seem to function OK.

Wish they had shipped a little sooner but otherwise I'm OK with the deal.

I've found that the stainless steel that S&W uses (or used, as they don't make their own mags anymore) is NOT very resistant to rust at all.
This is a good deal for factory mags, but always treat S&W stainless mags (and guns for that matter) as if they were blued carbon steel. Keep them lubed and you'll be good to go.

Stay Safe and rust free.

Took the mags apart last night, all the springs seem to have a twist to them. I don't recall my other 59 mags having that feature. Is that a LE thing or is my straight spring memory a little fuzzy?

Of the 2 I took apart, one had a twisty spring. Made it a little more fun to put back together but seemed to work just as well as the other?

Got my order today in the mail. Ordered last Friday, so a pretty good turn around. The mags look to be in good shape, obviously used, but do not appear to have been abused. All lock in, lock the slide open, and eject from the gun with no issues. Now, if I could only locate some ammo at a reasonable price.... Thanks for the heads up on this deal. That's what I love about this site, we are all great enablers for our common avocation.

So my order finally arrived today! It took one week, although they didn't ship until Friday afternoon via USPS 2-day priority. The mags were packed loose in a small cardboard box, I suppose it's better than the unpadded plastic bags lots of folks are shipping things in these days.

Of the ten mags I received, four were LE-GOV restricted marked mags, so not too bad. All were pretty dirty, I'd say they had never been cleaned internally.

All locked in and actuated the slide stop firmly. After cleaning them up only one had a rusty mag spring (which cleaned up OK), the rest were just very grimy. All had the proper factory red coated spring, the orange followers cleaned up nicely. Please note the photo of the orange followers is BEFORE I cleaned them.

Only one had much of any rust on the outside of the body, and that was quickly taken care of with Kroil Oil and OOOO steel wool.

Loading them up now for some serious range time tomorrow with the rusty wondertwins 5903 pistols I received last week from Bud's. I bet these mags came from the same place as those pistols, most likely PR.

Decent deal on these 9mm hi-cap mags, I'd buy a few to salt away even if you don't currently own a 5900 series pistol. Like money in the bank.

Stay Safe

 

[Kadonny]

Thanks, I just bought a 5943 TSW and it came with 10 round mags, I've been looking to pick up some 15 rounders and these are a good deal.

 

[BigBoy99]

I received my order on Monday and in the mix of magazines was one which had been chrome plated! It is so much shiner that the others. Since my pistol is stainless, I'd prefer the stainless mag. over the chromed one.


So if any would like to trade even-up a stainless mag for a chromed plated mag., please contact me.
