New Man Here

New guy here. Own a .44 Horth Hollywood 6 1/2 barrel with case (original foam) and accessories/paperwork. Also own a .44 El Monte 6 1/2 barrel with case (originial foam) and accessories but no paperwork. Smaller items are a parts kit I bought from a gentleman on a different Automag website, George Lawrence shoulder holster, bianchi mag pouch, 250rds. Wildey .44 ammo, 1 box Sandia, 1 box Norma, 1000rds. Starline brass, 4 clips and complete set of dies. I don't reload anymore so I purchase ammo from other manufacturers. I hope to find and buy an extra .44 North Hollywood longer barrel,  a .357 North Hollywood 6 1/2 and a .357 North Hollywood longer barrel.

Hi Conny,

Welcome to the "club des Automag"...

 

I see you also like the "old military" stuff.

Check out this old post of mine about the 'tanks in town show' every year in Belgium, you might like this.

Conny,

I'm not a military vehicle collector or builder, but I like to visit the parades they run around here sometimes. It's as walking back into time. (even if I'm not that old;-))

 

I don't know much about major problems with the Automag, that is if you keep your weapon in good condition. (oil and clean)

 

As far as spareparts, I would suggest a couple of recoil springs from "wolf gunsprings"

Just make sure you have the correct size for your pistol, as there are two sizes of recoilrods.

Don't hesitate to shoot your Automag, they are much more fun to use instead of just look at them. I'm a guncollector myself, but using the weapons is just the cream on the cake...

 

I have no idea about converting a automag into a carbine. May I ask why this idea, is it for the caliber or the "looks" ?

I think a member here ( Tony Rumore Tromix Corp ?) made a AR15 in the 44AMP caliber...

Luc, I've seen carbines in Luger, P-38, Lahti L-35 and Wildey. I'm sure there are others. I'm looking for something similar to the Alaskan Automag but because the laws have changed, with a 16" barrel and stronger detachable stock. Is there anyone who is making  Automag barrels? That would be a good start I guess.

That would be a good start I guess.    A group of us are planning on taking our military tracked vehicles to Alaska camping and hunting for a few weeks (advatage of being retired). I could take a rifle but always wanted to use an Automag for game and protection. One barrel in .44 for large game and one in .357 for smaller game. Although I think there wouldn't be much squirrel or rabbit left hit with a .357 so my .22 rifle will go as well.   I think everyone wants a different or unusual firearm and a .44/.357 Automag carbine would be excellent.
