Cetme 25 round magazine?

mitchellb3 · 2022-06-25T17:31:55-0400

Hello all! Found a curiosity along my travels today. It appears to be an original Spanish Cetme 25 round magazine. Just looking to confirm my suspicions. There are no visible markings from what I’ve found and there are no weld marks from where two 20 round mags would have been welded together.

Also, I am attempting to find a value. I have a few of them I am looking to part with. Thanks for all your help!

Interesting.

A slightly different design than a standard 20-round steel Cetme mag.

Yes, that's a Spanish issue 25 round magazine. Vale? I can't say. I bought a number of them some years ago for about $15 each but I'm sure that's no longer the case.

I’m sure that is no longer the case as well. I have only been able to find one post from 2018 that’s listed them at $89 a piece. I have not been able to find any available online.

SOG used to sell these. No idea current rate - $85-100 is a wag

Here's some info on these mags:

7.62 CETME Magazines. The myth of the 30rds mag.

I would like to share some info regarding the so called 'large capacity' 7.62x51 CETME mags. I got a couple of CETME magazines sold as 30 rounders. It did surprise me that the 30 rounders were taking only 26 rounds each but never gave it a second thought. Then I found what the seller was...

The last two I bought at auction went for $45.00, I bought two previously that were higher but I don't remember the actual amount, maybe around $60.

I'd certainly be interested in purchasing more, the older style goes well with the Cetme B I'm assembling. (That said I'd really like to get my hands on the older style 20 rounder.)

Thank you all for your wisdom. I will be listing the few that I have in the trader soon.

I am on the lookout for one of these as well! I check all the ones I get out of those huge lots of mags for cheap.

How do the older-style mags differ?

Same as the 25 rounder, just with a 20 round body. You can see a photo in the link I posted.

Are you assembling a B as well?

I am not unfortunately. I don’t have the tools or know how. Just a mag collector myself!

AFAIK, a small lot of those cameout of the Dominican Republic some time ago. The DR had Cetme A rifles, as well as Spanish artillery, purchased by Trujillo from Franco's Spain.
Actually, the capacity varies between 25-29 rds, perhaps the tension on the springs vary?
I do not believe the Spanish army ever used these longer mags.
