diehli Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Since it's called a 138, I'd go with 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-ManBart Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Which Bolen pad for the RHT .40 MAG Tube do I use to be limited legal. 3 or 4mm? Thanks. Using a Grams pad you have to stick with the 2.5mm, so I'd also guess the Bolen 3....still have to check it though. R, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 i use a 4mm...but it requires some trimming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I use a 4 mm also with a little bit of filing on the rear of the base pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Keen Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 I use a 3mm and still get 22 rounds. Those who are using a 4mm, have you checked your mag in a mag-gauge to be sure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezco Posted May 16, 2010 Share Posted May 16, 2010 Yes, sir but you need to take a little off the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 3mm fits with a little room in the guage, 4mm almost fits and requires a bit of triming as other have said. Just to be clear that a trimmed 4mm will fit in a guage. Neal in AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 will dawson SNL +1 basepads pass mag gauge with Rescomp? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogiebb Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 i think it will with some filing... isn't the dawson SNL a 4mm basepad too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 i read it somewhere (Benos site) that dawson SNL is the same as Bolen 4mm. but i forgot which thread now. it is still a toss for me between the SNL and the Bolens basepad. Bolen has simple design, but requires one to use a flat screw (any tool of that effect) to push down the pin, Dawson on the other hand is tool-less.

boz1911 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 The 4mm Bolens I installed required too much trimming. I'd use a 3 and forget all the trimming/checking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokshwn Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Mine worked fine getting 22 with the 3mm pad. Fits the gauge with no trimming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pvhendrix Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Mine worked fine getting 22 with the 3mm pad. Fits the gauge with no trimming. Are those reloadable?? Flyin I've got 2 Rescomp mags with Bolen 3mm pads 1 will hold 22 rnds of 40, however, it is not reloadable, with 22 rnds. The other set up exactly the same will only hold 21 rnds no matter what is tried. The 22 rounder works everytime so far on the load after loading one in the chamber. Have used it about 10 times. Reloads as easy as any other mag with 21 rnds. No one can explain why 1 will hold 22 and the other won't. Also tried a 4mm with some filing and it just barely fit the gage; however, when loaded the spring came out the bottom as the pad broke thru.

twodownzero Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 21 or 22 rounds is impressive either way. I get 20 in one mag and I can't barney another one in there to save my life. My other mags hold 19. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
