thepunishur Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ok, tried searching but couldn't find anything. I have 140mm mags now, and was looking for an extension that adds capacity, and brings it to around 170mm. Does anyone know of an extension for 2011 mags that adds 5 or 6 rounds?

Gooldylocks Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Why not just buy a big stick? I'm fairly certain the beast you seek, doesn't exist.Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alucardus Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I"m not aware of one. The largest extension I know of is the Taran 7g and that's still 2 or 3 rounds at best. My guess is that even if they do exist you are going to encounter all kinds of problems and for the price you would be better off investing in a 170mm. I run the MBX 170mm mags with Taran spring, follower and 7g base pad and get 30+1 starting or 29 reloadable. I haven't had a single mag issue since I switched to this setup. You have to very slightly file the mag rails to fit the Taran base pads on the MBX tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepunishur Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Thats kind of what I thought. I picked up an MBX 170, but was looking at adding an extension to at least one of my 140s. Thanks guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
412 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Grams makes a 11mm and arrendondo makes a base that is longer than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SV 170 tubes with 4g pads won't even fit... I found out the hard way and now I have a gauge. TTI 7g pads are only for 140s in open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Hello: What 140mm tube do you have? If it is a SVI you can use a Dawson base pad for a Para. It will give you 27 rounds. If you need some new Dawson Para base pads I have a couple extra here I would sell. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OPENB Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I tried to use the Para/Dawson pads on my 140 SV tubes, & the follower kept getting stuck under the indent on the sides. So I tried it on a 126 STI tube. With Grams guts & a Arredondo spacer, I get 25 reloadable. Been 100% reliable. The indents go all the way to the base pad rails so nowhere to get stuck.

Aircooled6racer Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Hello: There are various versions of the SVI 140mm old style tubes. Some have the side indent that does not go all the way to the bottom and some that do. The STI 140mm mags will get the follower hung up on the ribs on the sides unless you change the transition and polish them as well.

The setup definitely fits the gauge the 170mm tubes from mbx are shorter than stock tubes. I've measured it. Thie setup wouldn't work with a stock STI or SV tube however.
