I have a shooter-grade 1903 that I really like. It came with one mag, and the reproduction mags I ordered* are junk. Legitimate magazines for sale are at prices that make my wallet (and other things) pucker up tight, and they're not even in particularly good shape half the time. I'd be willing to refurb a junker vintage mag, if it was cheap to start with!
So...
Has anyone found a source of working reproduction magazines for the Colt 1903 pocket hammerless .32acp? (AKA model M)
Has anyone found a more available mag that fits or can be modified to fit? For instance, some .32acp mags are longer than an '03 mag, and could perhaps have a slot for the heel mag release added? If anyone has done that, I'd really like to hear about it.
Will I just have to buy more 1903's to get more working magazines?
