Pile of New Old Stock Mags from WV Pawn Shop

[NCBeagle]

A friend / forum member found 19 third generation Smith & Wesson magazines at a closing pawnshop in West Virginia. He was kind enough to alert me to the situation. Bought all of them for an average $15 each (ignore the price tags).He kept four. I took the rest. 7 for the 3914, 7 for the 4513/4516/457 and 1 full size .45 magazine. It is one of those almost "too good to be true" situations. I like the old-school packaging. Just going to leave them this way for now.

Holy cow, what a mother lode score!

Nice score!

That's some beautiful S&W history right there.

 

[ColbyBruce]

You have a great friend there.

 

[GaryS]

A thing of beauty.

I love looking through the bins of the LGS's and seeing what I can find. Nice going with this collection!

And a sad reminder of what they have become now.

So true, the company for the most part is a pale shell of what it once was. To see the people fawning over the M&P 9 on a recent Instagram post made me ill.

Go play the lottery after that haul.

Very nice.

Wow. I have been looking for 3914 mags for a while.
Good score.

Agreed. Classy move on his part, letting me know. He's a Smith guy too. Maybe has slighly broader interests. We both make weekend rounds at local gun shops, pawn shops, etc., and alert one another to things that might be of interest. We both occasionally travel to WV. He just has better spots there.

Good for you...

I see 3 with tape on the packaging;you should bring those back.

About 8 years ago I found somethings similar in that they were wood stocks and not magazines.Yes I bought them all.

Leave them on the cards if you don't have a dire need to use them, they are worth about $20-$40 more each over one's that are out of the packaging. Love these threads, I'm always mag bin diving at gun shops.

Nice haul

Yep, finds do happen. 3 10mm mags at an Akron gun show, I was glad to pay the $31 each. They still haven't been opened.

Wow! I don't own a gun those would fit, but I can sure appreciate that kind of find.

Denny I have the perfect 1066 for those [emoji41][emoji16]

Very nice. My wife gives me a hard time because every place we visit I will stop at a gas station and ask where the best LGS's are and pay them a visit. Its fun to get a good find now and then.
