1909 Arg mag too short for a pucka 9.3x62mm - at front wall of mag box. Depending on the individual Zastava action (how far it has been opened out at the front bottom lug) you can often push the front wall forward and do a neat conversion and get the approx 2mm more length in the box that a 9.3x62 really needs. Fit a straddle floorplate, weld a pad on the release and file it up and you have a nice unit, if you like the look of the large guard bow.

Beretta Aus had Swift-Blackburn units a while back, and Vardy has the Wiebe stuff. The ERA units are very expensive for what they are out here.

Clean 1909 units are fetching higher prices all the time in Oz. By the time the work mentioned above is done, you are into approximately the same region as purchasing a Wiebe etc.

The 1909 will wind up lighter than most aftermarket units I've used, though. Most people don't consider the extra ounces here and there adding up. The early FN/Interarms/Zasty hinged units are pretty light, too, if weight is an issue.
