    PPSh41 35 round stick magazines

    Hi Guys, while discussing availability of 7.62 x 25 inert ammo in another thread we got talking about these magazines. I have taken a few snaps of mine. I would really like to find out more about them and the different makers and nationalities (Chinese and Yugoslav, etc, etc.) variations.

    I know that the early Soviet made mags featured a "bell shaped" flared mouth to the mag (which I recall were marked with a star stamped on them). I lack one of these and I am on the lookout for one or three

    Here is a photo of the three I own, together with a PPS mag on the far right for comparison purposes. I was very surprised to learn when I bought my PPS that the mags were not interchangable Not something I would have expected from the Soviets.

    I beleive but could be wrong that the example on the far left is Soviet made?

    The far right mag PPSh41 has a parkerised type phoshate finish. The other two are blued.

    Cheers, Ade.

    Marking on the one on the left. Serial numbered to the gun with what I presume are the usual Russian re-work electro penciled numbers above.

      Here are all three mags. Note the different floor plates. They are photographed in the same order as the first photo.

        Another view. I suspect these two might not be Soviet made ones? If anyone can tell me who made them I would be interested to know

        Cheers, Ade.

          Same order again

          Note the shape of the "wings" (for want of a better word) on each mag.

          I should add that all the mags fit my two 1944 and 1945 dated guns.

                Looking through one of my (modern colour photo recreation) books this evening on WW2 Soviet uniforms, one of the guys in a photo carries a PPSh41 with a mag which has ribbed pressings to the mag wall, a la MP40 mags.

                Anyone have any info to add?

                Cheers, Ade.

                  I have some SVT 40 magazines that are KK10 in a circle marked like your PPSh magazine on the left. These SVT 40 magazines are without question Soviet production. I would think your mag is also.

                    Hi Jim, thank you for your reply. I am glad that you confirmed my opinion that the first mag is a true Soviet made example.

                    Has anyone got an early "bell mouthed" mag to share?

                    Cheers, Ade.
