I just point and blast away! Sometimes one fails to extract due to the chamber problem (never returned it to be re-reamed). Be nice to find a gunsmith who knows how to work on them ...

To me the 30!s are the most impressive around dusk , the light show is better than fireworks ,I have 2 45 longslides that I shot together , could never master the left handed one ,I magine 2 30 carbs would take some getting usted to |

I've a pair of III in .30 carbine ... it's a real hoot to shoot both at the same time ... real Tomb Raider stuff!!
Glad I picked up some spare mags when they were around. These are touchy ... some mags will drop free and others have to be extracted with some difficulty. Apparently there was some variations in the mags and mag wells. Now looking to pick up a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carb. Then I'll have .30 cabine rifle (WWII), the III Automags in .30, and the Blackhawk. I'll be set! |

If they do revive it I hope it will be somewhat redesigned to make it run more reliably.
If someone with a good reputation does re-issue it, sign me up for one! |

Very nice indeed ProTourAero...
Sounds like you have an AWESOME AMT AutoMag collection as well... I am thoroughly impressed with the AMT AutoMag III that I have, as well as the .30 carbine as a pistol round... I sure WISH that SOMEONE would re-introduce the AUTOMAG III or even an updated model of a 1911 styled pistol that would except the .30 carbine round... I Know, wishful thinking and "fantasy" on my part... By the way, Have you had a hard time finding any extra mags ? I have seen one or two over the past 2 months on www.gunbroker.com up for auction/sale... I think one went on auction for a final bid of about $79 and they were asking some thing like $149 for the other one on a straight out right buy of a new never used mag... Any of y'alls, experiences and suggestions are always appreciated. Thanks & GOD Bless, Sam

Also agreed, the Am III is a great gun to shoot.
Always gets attention at the range. I currently have 4, a .30, and 3 9mm win mags. |
