optimator Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) I received my +10% Wolff springs and TTI +4 mag extensions for my SP-01 today. This are supposed to be going into Mec Gar 17 round AFC mags. After what looked and felt like 5 rounds in the octagon, I got one together. It only holds 15 rounds now. These springs are almost twice as long and a lot thicker than the stock springs. There is just no room for them to compress. Have any of you had to cut coils off of them to make them work?

RigPig Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 How many coils do the springs have? Sounds like you may have 13 coil springs, made for 170mm mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phoenixsomd Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 What follower are you using? I've had the best outcomes with Grams followers when using extensions and +springsSent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jacket Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Phoenix, where can you get Grams followers for a CZ. I looked awhile back and couldn't find them. Thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP, you can trim the springs you have and you might have to sand on the follower a tiny bit to get the follower past the transition in to the basepad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some combos require that you do some fitting to the follower. This is one reason I prefer Grams followers if they're available for the application. I liked them in my STI mags, so I ordered some for my TSO mags when I was ordering basepads. I think you do have to use their spring, however, as the attachment to the follower is different than the factory follower and spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsand Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 NP, you can trim the springs you have and you might have to sand on the follower a tiny bit to get the follower past the transition in to the basepadOr just get grams follower and springs. I put them in Cz 18 round tubes with +2 tti and I have 23 rounds reloadable. You will have to fit the follower still to the mecgar tube. Apparently the sides have to be shaved so the last round goes high enough.Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneBray Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Have used Wolff +5 and +10 springs in numerous pistols (including +5% in 18 rnd SP01 mags) and never had any issue. Most of my SP01 mags hold 19 rnds with no mods what so ever even with +5% or + 10% springs (don't recall which are in the mags right now). Any rate the one which held 19 with factory springs also hold 19 with + springs. Would if there was a shipping error or packaging error on your springs....

As RigPig stated earlier it looks like I got the 170 springs. I'll cut 2 coils out of one and see if it works. If not I'll send the other 3 back.
