Title: ACS Z Mags (Old School or re-pops)
Post by: RichG41 on March 04, 2012, 10:03 PM

Hi

Just a quick note regarding ACS Z Mags, I (like a few prople on here) were unaware you can still buy new ACS Z mags. I bought a pair off ebay recently which I presumed were old school but it was only after they arrived and I saw the bar code on the inside of the rim that I realised the graphic looked too modern.  :(  A google search later and I see that ACS are still / have started producing them again (See link)

I just wanted to see if anyone could post some detailed photos of an original set and I'll put up the photos of the ones I've just bought to see what (if any) differences there are ..... I'm not sure if anyone else out there may potentially buy these thinking they were old school so thought it best to let people know. I hope this may help  :)

The person I bought them off has since contacted me (must be a member on here) to apologise as he didn't realise they weren't old school which is fair enough as they do look pretty good.
 
Thanks

Rich

Where did you buy them from? Iv just sold a set on ebay in black and they were nos only show pony fitted (black)
I believe the ones i sold were genuine 80's but i didnt check for or saw a stamp?
