| Recknagel in Germany makes an extended floorplate that - I believe - fits the 1909 magazine. Part # 30400-5001 |

| Sorry, I didn't see that. That one from Recknagel is the only one commercially available that I've seen. |

| Do you know the cost of the drop plate for the 1909? Availability? |

| Like to know what the Recknagel drop plate cost. I just received their catalog however there's no pricing. Wisner does make a nice plate for the 1909. |

| OK. I live here in Finland in Europe and those Argentine-style magazines are quite curious here. Most Mausers have their original military style magazines. I asked from local machinist how much it costs to make one piece and he said it is aprc. 200€. |

Better question is why would anyone want one? If I wanted something hanging that far below the rifle I would just pull a FAL out of the safe.

I am of the same mind, but to each his own. Now I might get laughed at for this suggestion, but in Zimbabwe in 2003 I had a chance to look over a 404 that was built in Namibia that had an extended box that looked similar to the one above but was permanent. From what I could see it looked like the gunsmith had taken two mauser bottom metal assemblies and welded the lower part of one box to the to the other. It used an original floor plate that attached in the conventional manner. The extended box hung about and 7/8 of an inch below the stock line IIRC.

Can someone help me to find any ? Perhaps from Europe ?
Norwegian dealer Landrø (www.landro.no) has 14500 M98s with this lengthen magazine and stockpiles of spares for same (they bougth whatever was left in norwegian depots). Give them a call or e-mail. They might say no, there was some conditions limiting export of this guns, but I am not sure if that also goes for parts. If so, send me a PM and I will help you out. EDIT, this ones are obviously military so you have to make/fit the lever opening thingy. |

| Igorrock, I have some 1909 type guards that the Recknagel floor plate would fit. It then should drop in to your rifle with minor inleting. If this is something you might be interested in let me know.

| Thanks for your offer SGYamagishi but I don't want to buy any 1909 magazine. Moreover, I have one but it's for an other project. |
