I've seen this elsewhere and have done it with my mags. I don't think you'll get in trouble for a duplicate post.
btw, it might have helped to describe the process. say, for example that you cut 4" wide loops off an old innertube and stretch it across the magazine. [:D] |

Funny... I just did this with my mags but I only used a 1 1/2 to 2 inch piece. Gives a nice grip and no tape residue to clean off. Sometimes the adhesive will creep out and pick up dirt and other junk

well, I didn't know how exactly he did it, so I just made up a number [:D]
the way I did it, I used about 3 to 3 1/2" strips. I didn't measure it, though, I just cut the strips about the width of my hand (so I could get a full grip). some of them are up to 3 1/2" wide, and others are as little as 3" |

Quoted: Cool. Now if there were only instructions on what to do [:|] then you chop it up into little loops at your desired width. my choice is 3-1/2" wide, but Archer likes 'em thinner (1-1/2 to 2"). then you stretch them over the bottoms of your magazines, so they go around the mag (basically to provide a gripping source for your hands). I'll take some pictures and add them to this thread in a little bit. |

if you're having trouble seating the mag, your inner-tube is too high.
here a picture of one of my inner-tubed mags: [img]http://ucs.orst.edu/~voilsb/extras/mag.jpg[/img] |

Cut the inner tube the short way around. Although if you do it the long way around the valve makes a nice handle. yah only get one per tube though.
