All I can say is you will have a license to make money if these work !! What you have so far looks AMAZING !!! Most people have 1 ” Original ” magazine if that, for there Transferable Type 99 LMG and I’m sure everyone will want a few more…

On a side note, the Magazines had the serial number of the gun on them and above it I think was the Magazine number ( 1 to 12 or 16 I think depending on how many Magazines were ordered with the Original Gun ) I know this would add more labor on your side but have you thought about adding a option for you to stamp the Magazines with the Serial Number of the Gun and also if someone was ordering say 10 Magazines stamp them from 1 to 10 also ??
