My Belgium Hi-power from AIM surplus came with three magazines, Two of them are black parkerized and have three witness holes in the back. The third is black teflon painted and has no witness holes. The markings on the painted magazine are
BELGIUM - 9mm NATO/LUGER
Is this magazine made by FN, I paid a premium for the third magazine with this gun and I am begining to think it is not made by FN as AIM stated.
Problems with the mag are minor but noticible, it was the only one that was beat up enough on the floor plate to be impossible to remove the floor plate to clean the mag. A few love taps with a hammer and a small punch fixed that. The floor plate moves around alot as the spring base/locking tab is not perfectly sized to the mag. Also I can see a slight difference in the way the feed lips were formed.
Does anyone know if FN changed the way they make mags at some point, and I may just have a few early model and one late model mags, or is this some aftermarket mag made in Belgium.
