I'm curious, why would you want billet magazines for those guns?  It is late, so I could be completely missing something, but what would the advantage to billet aluminum magazines be, weight?

AHven't figured this one out yet.

AT44'sdo use an Al.mag, but I'm pretty sure it's not a "billet" made/machine made mag.  Has marks that tell me it was cast rather than forged/machined from some cvolid shuck (billet) or Al.(or any other metal).  They machined/cleaned up the holes, but the rest of it is that dull gray cast-look.


Which makes me wonder "why it would be better" to have a billet made mag than the standard mag (as try as I might,I have not yet managed to wear out an issue mag.).

So I "just gotta"ask: Why?



Something visual...or expectations of something working better?

(Persionally...form a visual aspect...would like something made of bronze...but am certainly not going to pay big $$$ foresomething that just tweaks as aesthetic appeal.

Billet imo should be lol more precise than the cast clips.
Might make a cool project esp if a fellow had cnc capability

I'd be more interested in a nice plastic cast magazine myself.
Some of the plastic casting materials can be super durable now days and you could choose colors.
