Corey Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 So I have the Ice magwell on my 1911 with the no gap insert on it and am loving it. I want to pick up some CMC 10 rounders for a possible adventure in limited-10 as well as probable use for 3gun (unless I borrow my buddy's G34). What needs to be done for the 10 rounders to work with my magwell. no-gap insert? new basepads? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Marketing Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) Hi Corey, If you keep the CMC basepads, you'll need to replace the 1911 Ice No-Gap insert with a 1911 Standard Ice Insert. If you want to keep your existing No-Gap Ice insert, you'll need to replace the CMC basepads with DP 1911 No Gap Basepads (which look totally rad on 10-rounders IMHO). -Chet Edited June 18, 2010 by Dawson Marketing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 I was wondering if the normal basepads like i have would work on the 10-rounders. i may just get the new pads if i get the mags to keep the insert the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I have the gap and no gap inserts and CMC 10 rd mags. The mags don't seat with the gap insert.. It looks like a little will have to be taken off the basepads to get it to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Marketing Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 I have the gap and no gap inserts and CMC 10 rd mags. The mags don't seat with the gap insert.. It looks like a little will have to be taken off the basepads to get it to work. I did some experimenting today and came up with the same results. If you want to run the CMC 10-Round 1911 Mags with our 1911 ICE Magwell, you'll need to remove some material from the top of the rubber basepad: A more elegant solution is to merely add a DP 1911 No-Gap Basepad to the mag: -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DWFAN Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Yup. A little dremel time and my CMC's now work with the GAP Ice just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RiggerJJ Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 All you have to do is shave a bit off the inside edge of the magwell insert and work over the little corner at the gap a bit and it works fine WITHOUT dremmeling on your base pads... Chet; If you change to the DP 1911 No-Gap Basepad with 10 round 45 cal mags, how do prevent over insertion of the mag? jj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawson Marketing Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Chet; If you change to the DP 1911 No-Gap Basepad with 10 round 45 cal mags, how do prevent over insertion of the mag? jj Yes, you would have to be careful not to over-insert the mag with the stock basepad removed. Not the best scenario for a real-world application of the firearm. -Chet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
