It looks like they are for a Browning BAR Mark 2 rifle....Pete.

It looks like it`s for 7.63x25 mm pistols.

Maybe 7,63 x 25 for the C96 Mauser?
Sorry, just seconds after Zwerge.

Thanks zwerge & ziomanno! A bit of 'googling' of that cartridge generally comes up with (logically enough) a 'Mauser' style clip for the C96 (longer version of the K98 "Ladestreifen") ... is there a particular weapon / user / producer that uses this style? Can you point me to any photos etc?

Sorry, I don’t... But for what I know there are only a couple of pistols having a 10 rounds internal magazine, check also the Roth Steyr M1907, in 8x19 mm

Need help! Identification of non-STANAG 'AR-15' Magazine
Thought I would re-use this thread again (perhaps a Mod could rename it "Need help! Identification of Unknown Firearms Components" please ), as I have another challenge for all you firearms experts out there if you would be so kind!
I received two unmarked "AR" mag 'shells' as part of a recent job lot purchase. I assumed they were just normal AR-15 mags but in steel. However, on closer examination, there are a number of differences...
The items in question are the two on the right in this picture. Please ignore the Sabre Defence baseplate for identification purposes, those were a separate purchase for parts. A standard USGI AR-15 mag is shown below (far left) for comparison:
As you may be able to make out, the profile of the feed lips is different & they are, in fact, just a little shorter than usual. This is slightly more obvious in the picture below - the unknown models are the ones on the right of each similarly orientated 'pair':
Standard AR-15 baseplates fit (Phew!) but I cannot find any followers in my collection that will operate in them - neither original Colt, SA80 (A1, A2 'blank' or standard steel A2) nor MagPul PMag components will work. Probably the closest match is the metal SA80 A2 follower (HK design) but they won't go in because the baseplate 'lugs' get in the way - they might if the follower's anti-tilt 'legs' were shorter, but I'm not prepared to cut any of mine down to test!
My best guess so far is that these are modified magazines for a re-chambered / large bore AR-15 conversion? The four holes near the top edge are fairly distinctive but, despite doing some Googling for images of such things, I cannot find a positive identification.
I would like to complete them if possible so any help in identifying them (/ what components might work) would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
