DawesBeretta/MDS 15-round mags
Found (or rather "rediscovered") these in the bottom of a duffel bag where I tossed them several years ago, just before a move. The brand is "Meccannica del Sarca" which is, or was, owned by Beretta. Bought these somewhere between 10 and 15 years ago and never used them. Think I paid $15 each.
Shouldn't need any more 15 rounders for a while anyway. Is this brand still marketed by Beretta?

David LeeAn interesting manufacturer. The magazine end of the business sure brings back some memories as I worked in magazine making on a much larger scale. MDS must be supplying Beretta with long gun stocks also. Their stock making mills are quite advanced and to see a probe being run on a gun stock.

ruger357I have a couple and they work ok, not great. I think they supplied them to the military and it did not go well. Stick with Beretta and mecgar.
