You would THINK that in the year 2023 with Google's "Image Search" function on their (and others) search engine, I would be able to quickly identify this magazine, right? Wrong.

I've done numerous searches and come up with bupkis. Magazine is definitely 9X19 and the capacity is 16 rounds.

This has me stumped, and WTH (what the hell) is with the weird-ass stamped ribs??

TIA!

Reminds me somewhat of an aftermarket steel body Glock 9mm mag I acquired somewhere&when. Crude thing.

So that it takes up the same space as a normal Glock mag with it's thicker plastic walls.

That is the most logical explanation, using Occam's razor. Now all I have to do is find which Glock it will fit as I don't own one! Thanks, Lee and I love your username, btw!
 
Close, but not quite. "Nagmash" is "APC" in Hebrew and is the generic name given to the M-113. The AFV conversion of the Centurion "Shote" tank is therefore called a "Nagmashot". The same was also done to the T-55 tank but they decided on a different name for that; "Akhzarit" which means: "cruel" or "fierce" The APC version of the Merkava tank is "Namer" or "leopard"; it also is a contraction of "NAmash and MERkava", proving that armies everywhere just LOVE acronyms and portmanteaus!

Is that a Browning M2 poking out of your pants or are you just happy to see us?

Hahahahah, yup! That was taken the morning after concluding an eventless ambush in Southern Lebanon in 1987. Everyone does a three-month tour of duty in the security zone and they warn us very sternly beforehand: Absolutely, POSITIVELY no trading, bartering or outright buying of ANYTHING from ANYONE in Lebanon, not even a snowcone on a hot day. The biggest souvenirs we were hunting: AK-47 anything, to include bayonets, magazines (especially baklites), pistol grips and handguards, etc.
 
Shalom Haver! We were in about the same time ('84-'88), and I was also a "Nagmash Pilot"! I was a Palas in Handasah and got sent to driver school towards the end of tironute. I had nice black boots...not those ugly red ones! ;)
Me and my Zelda (and my Mag that I had to give up for the Nagmash).

Dude, that is SO cool! I was Nachal and we all got red boots at bakum despite not everyone going to Palmachim for jump school.
I noticed that you live in PA; are you familar with https://cherevgidon.com/? The guy who runs it is a friend of mine in your neck of the woods. Also, there are several facebook groups you might be interested in; this one in particular: https://www.facebook.com/groups/6425268218

Gut shabbes, btw!
 
For those of you older, than, say, 55; you'll understand the following:
"Kunte Kinte, I FOUND YOU!!!!!!!"

Once I learned from you guys that it was probably an aftermarket Glock magazine, I just started scrolling all the major gun-supply websites and sure enough, Numrich's (GunPartsCorp.com) has them listed!

Whatever happened to "U.S.A. Magazines"? Did they go under or did they get bought out by someone bigger?

Thanks again for your help!
