I am not the magazine expert that you and, but I wanted to help a guy with a question. Could you please check this out: www.brianenos.com/cgi-bin/ikonboard//topic.cgi?forum=2&topic=225 ? Thank you, Eric E |

The mag in question is clearly out of spec. However, with a vice and some slow, gentle work, it would be a piece of cake to squeeze the mag into the proper dimension. The key is to go slow and re-measure often. You don't want to reduce the dimension any more than necessary. These types of problems are actually fairly common, and easy to fix. What is difficult (or impossible) to fix is when the mag body halves are welded together incorrectly, leaving the mag extremely wide or narrow, or causing one feedlip to be noticably higher than the other. I generally recommend tossing these unless you are in a situation where you can't replace them. In that case, do whatever you can to get the mag running, as you can't really make things *worse*. -Troy |
