... here are some primo Sig P226 "pre-ban" magazines for sale on another website for megabucks!
Just be damn glad that you don't live in moonbatty Massachusetts!
At least they are like new.[emoji12]
Oh yeah, right!
Just wanted you guys to see one of the great joys of living behind enemy lines... i.e., getting to pay insane money for seriously "used & abused" pre-ban hi-cap magazines so we don't get arrested, lose everything and go to prison for up to 10 years.
I'll be gone in another 4 years, but you'll still have The Bam to carry on without me.

Heck... if they end up getting their way here, CA will soon make MA look good. If passed and signed into law, we're facing an outright ban on possessing any magazine over 10 rds... cancelling the grandfathering we've enjoyed and turning anything that doesn't have a 10rd replacement into essentially a manual fed single shot firearm.
But...but...no on wants to take your guns. Had a conversation with a new girl at a business lunch the other day and had to seriously restrain myself from physically attacking her. Voting for Clinton she is...and literally said while actually believing it that Clinton doesn't want to take anyone's guns.
Went to the Berea Ohio today,Sunday. Picked up 7 mags in a package deal for $210. 1-3913,2-4013TSW,3-69XX,and a strange one 9mm 9rd single stacker for a 909(only model that uses it).
That single stack 909 magazine will also fit the 3904/06 guns. Which makes sense since the 909 is the "Value Line" version of those guns. I've been told, but can't verify, that they will also fit the 2nd Generation single stack guns like the 439/639.
Nice finds.

The 3 69XXs' I picked up are marked 'Restricted,export-LE-& gov use only SN 91394'.
Oh Lordy!
Ban period magazines! The most illegal of the "illegal in Massachusetts" magazines! Guess you won't be sending them here to me or to GaryS.

Just took inventory and have 12 1006 mags! Had several shipping envelopes with mags I didn't know I had. Appears 5 have never been used. Glad I didn't listen to wife a few years back and just kept buying them....
The best time to buy has certainly passed.
I consider myself reasonably fortunate to have gotten my hands on 6 of the expensive, rare little devils. But now, it seems to have been pointless. Even if I could import, Model 1006 prices have gone right through the roof. I blew a once-in-a-lifetime chance earlier this year to buy the ultimate Model 1006 at a very fair price. It ain't gonna happen again or even anything remotely close. 
that 'ultimate 1006' was/is nice. Even though I only have a regular 1006,I don't pursue trying to collect the other models. I watch them when they're put up for sale but never have been tempted to try to acquire. Along with the 1006 I have a 610 6 1/2 ". Those 2 full size 10s' are enough. The upcoming winter project is converting a recently acquired 4053 to 10mm to have a smaller size 10mm. What I have been watching for is 3rd gen 40s' as they're dropping in prices because of the 'popularity return' to 9mm.
I still cry myself to sleep at night over my monumental screw-up re: the "Ultimate 1006" as you call it.
That was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I blew it. Amazing, but true. I don't think I'll ever get over it despite my good wife's attempts to speak logic to me regarding the cost (still high for me) and the risk (that it might have just been someone's "Bubba gun"). No matter how you look at it, I totally blew it.
I am in the Team 3rd Gen "dunce corner" for at least the rest of this year. In regard to the Models 4013 & 4053, I'm still hoping to get my hands on more of that family... in top condition and lacking agency markings... but not for conversion.
I just happen to like those two guns. For that reason, I am still buying-up 4013/4053 magazines when I can find them for something less than a king's ransom.
The fact is that prices have come down a lot this spring as supply as increased and demand has at least temporarily waned. It certainly won't stay that way forever and I can't afford to get caught again with my pants down.
On a similar note to the current/recent thread 'had to buy a 69XX just to get a mag,I've got mags that I'm looking to buy guns for. My 4 3913 mags need a gun to be inserted into,my 40XX 11rd double-stackers need a gun,my CS40 mags need a gun. The 4013/4053 are like the 3913,single stack and small,need a couple more of those 40s'.
I don't need anything in the 45ACP realm.
S over M
Looking at the top row, specifically the CS9 and 3913 mags, in the lower portion of the mag body there is an S over an M. I am guessing that the S might be for stainless steel, anyone know or want to guess what the M stands for?
