Mauser M03 long magnum magazine source?

[analog_peninsula]

Does anyone have a line on a M03 375 or 458 Lott magazine? Inquiring minds want to know.

 

[V.Veritas]

Any magnum magazine will work.
You are looking for type E magazine.

That's actually not accurate. There are also magnum magazines with a spacer designed for .300 WM, 7mm RM, etc. Ask me how I know this ...

Maybe check out eurooptics

Unfortunately, they are long out of the M03 parts business. They have perhaps three or four odds and ends remaining, but are otherwise sold out. Mauser corporate publicly stated they would continue to support the M03 when it was discontinued, but that was entirely lip service as far as I've been able to tell; perhaps they've provided some minor services to preferred customers within Germany proper.

@analog_peninsula : technically they still produce some parts from time to time, but better is to look on a website like egun.de , find a store that still sells new replacement barrels and contact them to see if anyone still has a magazine lying around. Ordering from a Mauser dealer, is just a world of hurt.
