z40acp Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 (edited) With CO going 140mm mags, what parts { tube , follower, spring and base pad } get you the highest capacity reliable mag? And second what would be the components for a MecGar 17 round AFC tube? These would be for a SP01 Shadow.

And use a dot for people with less than great vision. For what it's worth, I can get 21 in my SP-01 mag with TTI extension and +10% spring. I *think* I could get 22 in with the stock spring, but opted for a stronger spring. I have the factory follower, so the Grams kit might add another round.

CZC makes two 140mm base pads, a long one for standard length mags like your MecGars and a short one for the 18 round long tubes. http://czcustom.com/cz-75-extended-base-pad-long.html http://czcustom.com/cz-75-extended-base-pad-short.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ 16 rnd magazine #11101 with long base pad #10213 CZ 18 rnd ( SP01) magazine #11152 with short pad #10187 CZ P09 19rnd magazine #11620 with extended pad #1001097 with spring and follower kit #10522 mags will hold 23 rounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 so the short one on the stock 18rnd sp01 mag will leave a gap between the base pad and the grip right? since the stock plastic 18rnd base pad extends upward on the mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArrDave Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Tagged. Carry Optics sounds a lot more interesting to me now. Stuart, what does a base pad like that come up to? Will SP01 frames make the cut or are we talking about CZ75 still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Pistol with optic ( this is heavy, since not milled and rear sight still in gun.) with long pad. is 43.5 ounces and with short pad 43 ounces long pad short pad and you can see how the SP01 18rnd mag extends out the frame.

z40acp Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 I think it is interesting that the new CZ USA SP01 Shadow frame is made to fit P09 mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I got a Springer extension for the 17rnd nickel plated mecgar mag. Some numbers: stock sp01 18rnd mag 3.0 oz /86 grams mecgar mag weight: 3.2 oz/ 92grams mag with regular Springer base pad: 4.1oz/ 117 grams. mag with extension: 4.5 oz/ 127 grams mecgar capacity and regular base pad: 17 extension pad, +10% spring, stock blue follower: 20 on my first attempt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 after a little beveling here and there i am now at 21 rnds reloadable on a 17rnd nickel mecgar mag with the 140mm springer precision pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fantom919 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 How are the cz ones able to hit 23? Is it the different spring and follower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I gained +4 rounds on a 17rnd mecgar mag. Shot it all afternoon and worked great. Reloaded, empty start, slide lock, etc. With the stock follower. The CZC goes on the 18rnd mag, so you're ahead one there. Add the follower and I'm not surprised they could get +5 for a total of 23. So if I plus one at the start, I'm starting with 22. Just like in my TacSport. Same mag I tested for CO works great in my Prod AccuShadow, so I might goof off and shoot Lim minor here and there too. We'll see if the ability to have 23/4 at the start really makes a difference over 21/22....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mreed911 Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Not CZ but just a competitive note, my ETS 140mm Glock mags came in today. 22+1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
