Free- Unknown FNH .380 magazine

azasadny · azasadny's Garage

I have an unknown FNH (FN Herstel) magazine in very good condition but I don't know what gun it's for. It's a .380ACP, with a FN trademark, a "5" on the toe and a "60169" number on the bottom. If anyone needs, I'll ship it to you if you pay for shipping, the mag is free to a good home as I have no use for it.

Looks like it will fit the 1903 in 380 or it might be for this:

red,
Thanks, I think that's the pistol for this mag. Do you have one of those?

Sold mine a few years back. The original barrel was almost a smooth-bore. A replacement barrel helped, but the sight was loose, etc. Sold it on GB.

I have a good friend with a .380 FN pistol. I am sure that he would love to hava a spare mag. If it is still available, please let me know and I will PM my address.

Thanks,

I'll pass Art, but thanks for first dibbs. By the way, the M51 went to the tank on weds. I should have it back in a week or so. Also if you don't mind, I'm playing with "fire blue or nitre blue so I kept some small parts of the 51 to experiment with. I'm going to do the trigger, safety, slide lug, and mag release in fire blue. So it will look like this one..

David,
Fantastic! The Remington 51 is going to look great, I can't wait! I just cleaned a Walther PP from 1945 that hasn't been cleaned or used in about 40 years, it was cruddy! I used acetone and Q-tips, then Hoppe's, then lubricated it with Militec-1. It looks and moves a lot better now.

what proof marks are on it?

azasadny · azasadny's Garage

No marks on the slide at all, the serial number on the slide and frame are mismatched and they both date the gun to 1945. The bluing, machining, etc... is a bit more primitive (rough) than the Manurhin variety I am comparing it to, but there is very little wear, hardly any rust pitting, etc... The aftermarket grips are horrible, but the holster is a WWII German holster and the 2 mags are Walthers.
