for a ??x55 case - Thinking Sauer.

Are there any other thin single stack mags out there.

AI mags. And 91 Mausers are single stack; feed much smoother than any double stack.

340 savage is a bit too short I tried it.. but it looks modifiable

Might try a CZ mag for what ever caliber you are using. I used them on my 7.62 X 39 bolt gun and really easy to modify if needed

I had a CZ 7.62x39 TG and mag and sold them.

Tikka mags are single stack also.

Rich, I'm not following you. You began by asking for a thin walled, single stack mag for a ?x55 mm case. Then you posted a pic of a .30-.30(52mm) mag followed by a mention of a 7.62 x 39mm mag. Neither of which will work for a 55mm case. What exactly are you looking at? Do you need a mag for a .473 +/- casehead or something smaller?

just following up. I had the 340 savage mag so I tried it.

6.5x52 carcano actually

OK, well then you need a magazine that can accomodate a cartridge with a max overall length of around 3 inches. That translates to a minimum of a x57 or a '06 family mag. Sauer mags fit that bill, as does the Rem 788 6x57 mag, and several others. You might have to bend in the rear retainer lips a bit to hold in the smaller round, depending on the mag. Are you thinking about adapting it to a Carcano project?

Yes, carcano, I have some ideas. I'm not going to rebarrel or open the bolt face.

There are some threads over at Practical Machinist and Gunboards forums with a how-to on installing a single stack AK mag into a 7.62x39 Carcano project. The 788 mag may just be narrow enough to fit in the Carcano mag well.

You got my attention with this project!
Please keep us (me) posted.

I like Yumastepside? project, I think he rebarreled the rifle and used a CZ 527 mag.

Sorry, not really....I re-barrelled one to 35 calibre with blown out 6.5x54 MS case and the other from 6.5x52 Carcano to 6.5x54 MS. I'm still looking for a single stack mag myself...most likely have to make them from scratch....I used the CZ mag in my Spanish Mauser 7.62x39.

thanks for the info.
