They are expensive! I've seen them asking £60 a pop for new ones.

These are £50 all but a penny new - still pricey but ...

Back in the late 80s early 90s I remember our local milsurp shop in Oxford had dustbins full of the things for 50p a pop and clips were sold for pennies. I wish I'd had the presence of mind to buy them all up whenever I saw them. I'd be rolling in it now. :)

Hi dark skies I might end up just buying Cpl of new ones and be done with it as it can be really annoying when they don't cycle proper

You only need one working mag then just feed it with 5 round chargers, mags should be kept in the rifle and not removed re fitted.

Hi bnz41 I agree but it has scope on it so no feeding :)

I imagine thats why they are relatively expensive as they were never intended to be removed from the rifle so there are not that many of them out there.

They were removed as part of the unload and the makesafe.
