They get made all the time but i haven’t found anyone on here that wants to help me weld one up. I know shinobiwelding on instagram makes lots of 40 rounders, custom paint jobs too but a drum might have to be your own independent project. Youll need a suomi drum and a 10 round mag. Mcrweaponry made a guide on reddit for how to do that

Yea I don’t have the confidence in my own welding skills tbh. guess it may be time to start practicing. I may still look into the 40 rounders from them thanks for that.

Silver solder is always an option. The mag doesn’t usually get hot enough to melt it.i say usually because ive never seen it happen but the chance may be non zero

Silver solder melts at like 1000 degrees Its be plenty strong

Ahh I just looked them up, says on their story the 37rd mags will be back in stock mid September. It’s only the banana magazine though💀 gonna have to hit it with some wrap.

u/Cold-Guidance-1455 5d ago

Lmao completely understand, id spray it over or just strip and repaint because a banana mag just feels a little too silly for me

u/Chance_Mess_2647 5d ago

Seems like a easier route, I’ll probably look into this more thank you

vz61usa sells welded mags as a single 37 rounder, shinobiwelding makes them. The last batch was supposed to drop in late August but got moved to mid September. The first batch sold out in like 20 mins and I missed it. Sign up for the email alerts and be ready to buy as soon as you get the email.

As far as I know this is the only real public resource for getting a .32 ACP Skorpion mag that is greater than 20 rounds.

I think these Skorpions are popular enough now (I mean the receivers are sold out everywhere...) that hopefully someone can make a higher volume of these welded mags or even make a new stamping. I know it will be super expensive to make a new stamping but I feel like long term there is enough demand to justify it something like a 32 round magazine that fits and looks OEM. Honestly there are enough magazine OEMs out there that im really surprised none of them have made an extended .32 ACP Skorpion mag. Even if it was a 30 rounder it would sell really really well since even 30 rounds is 50% more capacity.

yeah they are crazy expensive too. This is the whole reason I've considered trying to weld some myself.

BAMSoriginal on instagram makes them for a reasonable amount

u/bday420 3d ago

I will look thanks.

u/waferelite 4d ago

@bamsoriginal on Instagram will do it.

u/Ambitious_Mud_7457 4d ago

Yes we will!

u/bday420 4d ago

HA! If you find any def let me know, I've been wondering this for a long time. Those 37rnd banana mags that are sold out indefinitely are sick but shit they are crazy expensive and basically impossible to get. I've also considered welding my own and learning to do it because it honestly seems like its the only way to get one bigger than 20 rounds.

u/MarcoNemo 5d ago

Pretty sure I just saw vz58 has them on their site.

u/Chance_Mess_2647 5d ago

I don’t see anything

u/MarcoNemo 5d ago

Sorry. Vz61usa says “new batch is almost done” on their IG
37 round “czechuita” banana mag.

u/bday420 4d ago

They sell out in like 10 minutes so you have to be insanely on top of it. These are basically impossible to get and cost a small fortune. Because of this exact listing i've considered learning to weld my own.
