Wilson 47 mags

[evilmonkey]

Picked up three used but in damn good shape wilson 47 mags. one of the mags is a little bit different on the feed lips but still almost looks exactly the same it fits all eight of the 45 bullets and it feeds correctly. Also the followers have the number 5 on 2 of them and 3 on the last one even though its almost identical. Did wilson change there mags just a little for reliability purposes. Also the two lips that hold the floor plates on is different on one, the one side is normal and on the other side it comes about 3/4 of the lenght of the other side. anyone know if wilson changed them up a bit?

Yes they did change the #47D several years ago. I don't recall when but it's been at leats 5-10 years. I don't know why they changed.
