Preban sig 226 magazines

[Lou222]

I purchased a sig 226 close to 18 years ago- when I did they ffl threw in 2- 35 round preban mags. Its all been sitting in safe for years. Would anyone know a ballpark value for the 2 mags? Thanks.

In the free United States, probably not much, but in MA there's definitely a premium. I don't think there is much demand for pistol mags that huge, but if someone really wants one they'd probably pay over $100, basing that on if you double how much people sell the 15 rd preban mags for ($50-$70).

18 years ago would NOT be pre-ban, that's only 2000 and pre-ban is before September 1994

It's date of manufacture, not of sale, so it's not too hard to imagine some six+ year old stock being sold in 2000, especially of unusually large
magazines.

The question isn’t about if they are preban or not- they were preban prior to me getting, I got them 18 years ago and at that point they were used preban

I wasn’t aware anyone made 35 round mags for a P226.

Highest capacity I have seen is 32 round Pro-mags and I don’t think they are pre-ban.

Do you have any photos?

Once again wasn’t trying to determine if they were or were not- was only trying to see if anyone had a rough idea of value is all-

 

[jpm]

well whether they are or not makes all the difference in the world when it comes to their value.

Ok I can try again- I have 2 established preban 35 round 226 mags....I understand outside of ma- these are worthless, would anyone know ballpark value within the state we live in. This turned into a debate on if or if not which wasn’t the reason for post. Was only asking for value for my own knowledge hoping someone genuinely knew what they would be worth....thanks

This guy offered to sell a 20 round preban for $100 recently. Not sure if he sold it though, it was an optional add on.

SOLD - Sig Sauer p226 SAO Legion

Perhaps start at $150 or BRO.

I am a P226 owner and I have a different take on price. A standard capacity pre-ban mag still allows the gun to be carried. But a 35 round mag like a 33 round Glock mag, is a novelty and something just for the range. So IMO it has no more value than a standard pre-ban mag. .

Read this before you start a "What is My Gun Worth?" Thread

 

[Lou222]

How does that have any bearing on what I asked? At no point did I say I was looking to sell- I came to a firearms forum to ask someone with knowledge of something I didn’t know of- isn’t that what forums are for? Did I post anything asking to sell? This isn’t a what is my gun worth... post

The value of the magazines really is subjective and whatever someone is willing to pay. I agree that if I was going to post it for sale, I would list it at $150 OBO, and see what you get. My gut tells me it is worth $100 bucks in Mass.

Mostly true, unless you use the gun in 3-gun competitions. I've seen guys use 30 round happy sticks in their glocks to avoid reloading. Though I don't think the P226 is used much in competition. I least I haven't seen many.
