SV mags have one wide rib running the length of the mag. STI mags have 2 ribs running the length of the mag.

Alpha, Mike, No shoot

Recoil spring, main spring and that little spring for the thumb safety and slide lock plunger. The sear spring is a smidge different but can be made to work.

nope.

KelsonAK, Thank you. Unfortunately we don't have that wide of a bay. Fuelie777, How wide is your bay that you can accommodate 2 stages? We would like to utilize 1 bay for 2 stages but trying to figure out how some of the clubs out there are accomplishing this with somewhat of a narrow bay.

Dillon part number 13688 should have been the part they sent to you.

No, but the ammo is...My bad. I thought you were using a TG load.

RangerTrace Is your G17 stock?

Just reread your post. May clean up a bit if loaded higher but doubt it will clean up too much. TG is pretty dirty

What would the difference be compared to this program? http://www.usaac.army.mil/amu/index.html

How wide is the bay with 2 stages?

Get rid of those IMT and Ammoload stamped brass. They have a step on the inside that's been causing headaches for reloaders.

Did you look in the paint section?

Have you chronoed your reloads to confirm they are indeed "major" loads? Have you shot factory loads out of the gun (with 14lbs recoil spring)?

Use an overlay to confirm. It doesn't have to break the perf, just touching the line of the perf is more than adequate. 9.5.9 is brought up in the instance a low charge round makes it out of the gun but fails to pass thru the target but leaves some sort of mark on the target.

In addition to the posts above, the ribs on the side of the 9 mag are deep on both sides. For 40 it's shallow on one side and deep on the other.

Any pics of gun? Maybe a more knowledgeable forum member can determine if you can fix it yourself from the pictures you provide.

Caspian_45 You're referring to rule 5.2.7.2 Where does it state the magwell is not part of the gun?

Does it have to be a Long/Wide frame and aluminum grip? I thought the preferred steel setup was light weight?

Stages?

You're getting rid of the bell from the powder drop step. Finished diameter of round= bullet diameter+twice the thickness of case. Since I use mixed brass, I'll get any where from .419 to .422 diameter.

PatJones, Good to know. Do all their slides, in all calibers have that proprietary sized hole?

Maybe you could use the entire MSH assembly from the RIA and see if it fits into your Springfield to do a quick "pencil launch" test.
