Spanish destroyer DOUBLE STACK magazine

[hornsurgeon]

I’m looking for a DOUBLE STACK magazine for a Bergmann Spanish destroyer carbine in 9mm largo. This is not the typical single stack magazine. Anybody have one they could spare, or have a lead on one???

Did they ever make one?

[hornsurgeon]

Yes. It was the predecessor to the single stack models. Pre 1953 I believe.

They are out there, though tough to find. I purchased a couple from a gun show a few years ago for my DeLisle project. Fun carbines to shoot!

I know a guy who might be able to source one. I'll let you know via PM.

You can spot the early ones with the double-stack mags by looking at the floorplate/magazine well area. The early ones that use the double-stack have a simple flush floorplate similar to the actual rifle caliber Mausers they are patterned after. But the single-stack later versions have a short magazine extension or magazine well that protrudes downward from the floorplate area and is an extended part of the trigger guard.
