The clear mag makes it easy to look down the inside of the mag (without the spring and follower) to see where the edges of the extension are overhanging the path of the follower. Angle file those edges away and you're good to go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks! Sounds pretty painless. Link to comment
extremist Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Arredondo extentions (+5) do NOT work with stock Glock 33 round mag springs (not for me). Had to get Taylor Freelance extended springs for 41+ mags to run with those. Taylor Freelance 41+ with the included spring works great with Glock 33 mags. Link to comment
MegaCleanCab Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 I have been using the taran +5 with the giant taylor freelance mag spring and they work well. I have them on my g17 mags as well. I have noticed that some mags simply do not work. The follower gets hung up. This happens with g17 and the 33rd magazines. I even started loading down to 1.13. I need to find a fix. I have tried deburring the followers and beveling the bottom of the magazine so the spring does not catch. When the follower is stuck it is level side to side and nose up tail down. Link to comment
kski Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Some dremel work solved my problem of the follower getting hung up on the extension. Now to fix the feed ramp issue...Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment
rchaas Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Despite filing on the extension and the magazine, I get a hard stop at 35 rounds with glock 31 magazine and TF +10 basepad (on both of mine). The spring that came with the TF extender is 13" long, feels as if the spring is compressed to the max. What length spring should come with the TF basepad? Is 13" the correct length? Link to comment
rchaas Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 answered my own question. tried the shorter stock spring, same thing. So, filed a bit more, all good with the longer springs, 41 rounds! Link to comment
MHitchcock Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 I just put mine together and it holds 40, no filing involved. Did you make the mistake of using the plastic part in the stock base plate? It should just be the follower, the spring and the base pad. Link to comment

I had to file down two corners of the extension that the follower was getting hung up on, granted I'm also using an ETS mag. No issues since, fingers crossed. Link to comment
photoracer Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 I use a mix of Glock and CTS mags and a mix of Arredondo and TTI basepads and they all work fine with the stock springs from the mags. Link to comment

Just the spring, follower and base pad. All good with some beveling of the follower and the back inner edge of the base pad. Thanks! Link to comment
NOMADSS Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 Can someone post up some pics of areas you are dremeling and filing. thanks Link to comment

Have filed the rear inner portion of the extension. Have filed the bottom edges of the follower. Still get to about 36 and it starts getting far harder to load than I think it should. Can force to 41 with factory win white box 115s sometimes, but likes to drive the top round into the front of the magazine and bend it. Bends it bad enough its a fight to get the magazine out. Situation far worse with reloads. Maybe just file more? Link to comment
littlefish Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I get 40 rounds into a TF easily and runs good, no issues so far with no modifications. Probably could force one more round into it but would be very tight and probably asking for trouble. The Glock 31's hold 36 rounds with Dawson extension and factory Glock spring and run good too.

If not, you can splice two springs together (see my "Glock drum mag" thread below). Help. I can’t find the thread about splicing 2 mags. Link to comment

I know the instructions state this is a common issue, has anyone beveled an ETS mag and if so, any photographs of the work? I ended up using a stock Glock 9mm follower (older, not pointy) and I get 43 (no closed bolt reload) or 42 re loadable on closed bolt. Right now I am just using a stretched stock ETS spring, but I get weak feeding for the last few rounds. I will probably swap in one of the TACCOM 36 coil springs even though I may lose a round or two... Edited January 5, 2018 by barrysuperhawk Link to comment
sheepdog566 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Just getting started in pcc. Is anyone using the mbx mini or mega extensions? Had good luck with mbx 2011 mags. Link to comment
L9X25 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Some people have had good success with them, while others were not able to make them work reliably. I think some of this has to do with the bullet type and profile interfering with the mag extension. I really liked the idea of the bottom plate making them really easy to clean, but several people complaining that they were unable to make them work, even after doing whatr MBX recommended, that scared me away. I ended up getting the Taccom extension and, although it is more difficult to clean, it has run perfectly for me. I do not drop the mag as that would necessitate cleaning it. I also have a Taccom splice for really big stages. Link to comment

L9X25 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) I received my Taccom mag extension a few days before a high round count match. I attached it to a new ETS 31 round magazine and initially had some problems getting the feet of the follower to slide into the mag extension and had to bevel the feet slightly more than I had initially done. Once the follower slipped in the basepad, the bullets came out perfectly. I used the mag on 7 stages, over 250 rounds and it worked flawlessly. I did have to clean it once, due to it falling off of my belt, and that was not fun to do during a match, but it did all that I could expect from it. Edited January 5, 2018 by L9X25 Link to comment

L9X25 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Prior to purchasing the Taccom extension, I have been using a TF+10 extension on a Glock 33 mag that has been flawless for months. The only problem with it is that it only holds 40 rounds and this match had several stages in excess of 40 rounds. I will likely continue to use the TF+10 for most stages that are under 35 rounds, which is practically any stage at a normal match. Link to comment
