BreenMachine945 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 I bought my first 38super open gun, it came with mags that had mag #, caliber, and round counter holes on the back. It was physically stamped into the mag tube. Are they usually like this or do I have something special. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

al503 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) *Edited* The high polish and font look like HSmith but they're slightly different than the ones I have. Edited February 21, 2015 by al503 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Most folks who tune mags might offer round count visual holes,round count numerals and other info laser engraved or stamped into the tube for extra $$$. The real test is if the mags do their job every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Miles Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 You have something special. They are mags tuned by HSmith. I would argue that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Bobby Keigans used to do that same thing to mags as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Miles Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 You have something special. They are mags tuned by HSmith. I would argue that point. No problem. Just my opinion. I have an SV tube that I had Howard tune and I bought another SV from another member here. They have the same very high polish and the same etch font. Adrian (MBX) polished his tubes (prior to the new MBX mags) about the same as Howard but the ones I have aren't etched. Not sure if he ever etched them or not. No problem here either. I bought 3 SVI mags from Howard before he disappeared. They sure were shiny. When I measured the feed lips, they were all over the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al503 Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 OK so I just checked mine and they are slightly different. The font looks the same but Howard put his at an angle, not straight across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi-Power Jack Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 The mags I got from Howard were that shiny, but did not have 9mm etched on them - they were etched with ".355". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glk21C Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 It's probably easiest to assume you have something special. How special time will tell. stock mags are not like that so someone paid to have that done. The plus will be if they had been tuned at the same time. Good luck.
