Illmatica Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 I currently have Springer Precision extended base pads (Xdm 5.25" .40sw) with Grams spring and follower. My issue is, sometimes the spring or follower (can't tell which) will get stuck and the ammo in the mag just pours out thus causing my gun to malfunction and ruining a stage. I'm guessing the follower tilts sideways and just jams up the mag. How f*#king annoying. What do ya'll do to combat this? Will the Springer Precision follower and spring fix this issue? Though, it does look to be the same profile as Grams just machined out of aluminum. Another thing, one of the screws on the SP basepads won't back-out...how the hell do I take it off? Is it a lost cause? Should I get TTI extended base pads? Will TTI base pads work with SP follower and spring? Should I just stick to whatever spring kit TTI comes with in order to have that extra reliability even though I'm losing that one extra round capacity? What's inside a black hole? Do black hole lives matter? So many questions - what do ya'll suggest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIIID Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 Did you flatten out the tab at the bottom-front of the magazine tube? That tab protrudes far enough into the tube to cause problems. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Hmm, I'll try that. So I'm guessing the spring is getting caught on that tab and jamming up the mag? What would you suggest I flatten it out with? Thanks, Rich.

DagoRed Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 So glad I saw this thread. I had the same thing happen w one of the mags I put a CC pad and grams guts in, I didn't know about flattening that tab. I'm gonna do it on mine.

RIIID Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 A pair of vise grips or a file will get it done, I have modified a vise grip to do the job Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DagoRed Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Just wanted to report back that this worked. Was obvious once I knew what I was looking for. I was able to bend one tabs enough. The other couple I got part way then used my Dremel to clean up till the follower wouldn't catch. My brother in law ran the gun/mags in his first match today didn't have a single problem. Thanks guys! Red Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reshoot Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I run the Grams follower and springs but, have not had this issue. I'll know what to do if it occurs now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best I can do in .40 is 21 and 20 reloadable with my CC setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
