Purchasing/borrowing a vietnam magazine

Gentleman,
I am in the market for a Vietnam era 20 round magazine. It would be ideal to just borrow one so I can get some dimensions from the magazine, but if purchasing one is the only way, I will do that as well.

Reason being is, I recently had a 5th group Vet/friend who served in VN give me many items... amongst the many outstanding items, he gave me a fatigue, web belt with all the ammo pouches, and also a boonie hat. I wanted to fill the ammo pouches properly so I could display the pieces and do his service justice. I was looking to borrow a Vietnam era 20 round magazine, and trace the magazine and cut out some blanks from wood which would then be painted and used to fill the ammo pouches. If anyone can supply a link to purchase a magazine, or better yet if anyone has a 20 round magazine I could borrow for a short period of time, I would greatly appreciate it. I of course will cover shipping costs and will have the magazine back to you shortly.

I promised him I would give him pictures of the display of all his items, but I dont want to half ass it. I'd rather take a little more time and do it right to show him his service wont be forgotten.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
