    Setting Up .40 Mags.for Max Capacity

    in General Gunsmithing

    Posted · Edited by acp45230

    pretty sure there .40 mags( checked the feed lips and i have a set of .38 mags )i left one loaded overnight and got 1 more round in , but its not something i would like to do at a match !! seems like if you work the lower rounds down with something threw the lower hole in the mag.the last few rounds will go in..maybe they need more polishing on the lower ribs ???

    as for Beven Grams you are 100% right! had talk with him one time a while back ( ordering something) and he is a great guy !!! and a very busy man,i would not want to call and bug him on me trying to tune a mag...

    useing sti .40 140mm mag tubes ,gram springs and follower, and dawson plus 1 base pads

    i can still only get 18 rounds and its tight and the mag. body swells out to .970 and will not drop from the gun .how in world are grams and brasos getting 20 in there tuned mags ?

    Doesnt seem like STI mags if they swell. Soemthing has got to be wrong. Are you using the grams 11 coil s/f kit? Is it possible you got 38 super mags? The new STi mags will hold 20 with the grams s/f and a plus 1 Dawson or 2.5 or 4mm Grams.

    STI mags, 4mm pad, totally legal, easy to reload with, and will lock back depending on your slide stop. I could not be happier, you get what you pay for...

    Cant say the 4mm pads are totally legal. Even Bevin qualifies the legality of those pads by saying you have to measure each indiviual mag since there can be variance in the dimensions of the mags. Since the 4mm pad takes up all the extra room alloted by the new measurement there is no leeway for a mag a littel long. So be sure to measure each mag with a 4mm pad to make sure it fits.
