shooterbenedetto Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 (edited) I just completed my project of making the Large frame goldteam in 9mm. I have a complete mags in 3x140mm and 1x170mm and it works perfectly, chambers and no nose dive. I would like to know how many will be interested. Thank you.

LeoHallak Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 I am interested but its honestly relative to cost of the work on the mags. my super mags load perfectly and run perfectly without tuning. Leo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JThompson Posted July 31, 2010 Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) YA, I'm interested Ed show us at least 28 in a mag and run the gun withe a few mags and then we'll talk... I have a Gold Eric that has been in the safe for over a year waiting............ Get this right and set me up with two big sticks and four 140s and you have Quinns for life. lol JT Edited August 1, 2010 by JThompson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted July 31, 2010 Author Share Posted July 31, 2010 (edited) I will do it!I'll keep everyone posted. I will push to fit a 9mm barrel next week. If my buddy shoots with his Eaa tomorrow, I will take the video then.. I have no doubt this will not run as I have tuned many mags. Once I have the bullets come up evenly and strong, it runs 100% The fact that there is no space between the bullets, there will be no nose dives. Since I'm using +10 wolf springs, I know that the spring will last and this will be reliable! I'm playing with Grams springs with the followers now.

shooterbenedetto Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 (edited) Could the same process be used to make the .38 Super magazines more reliable? Will only work with 9mm. I have used Henning's grams followers and they are not consistent with reload brass on 38s,problems, nose dive. Per Henning it works well with new brass. I agree..I have used new brass and no issues but reloads after 3x or 4x, brass are no good. Undersize egw will help but will have to modify that also. All my mags in 140mm and 170mm works 100% in my super.I do use 38sc and 38TJ to get more rounds. I did have to tune the mags. I'm excited about the 9mm. Soon no more picking up brass in practice! I do off course will shoot my super in Big matches only. Edited August 1, 2010 by shooterbenedetto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nealio Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I think a lot of people are curious as to what these mags are? Totally home-made? Modified from another magazine? What is the cost? I think these questions need to be answered before people will say whether they are interested or not.. - Nealio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterbenedetto Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 They work FLAWLESS!! I'm trying to get in touch with my friend that took the video! it works!with my modified follower, 170mm 27+1 140mm 21+1 this is VERY reliable. I have tried Grams follower for Tans. You can get 29+1, even 30+1 on 170mm and 23+1 on 140mm but I'm not comfortable with the way the bullets come up.THEY WORK..but I need more time to work on it. I will post the video as soon as possible. as soon as I get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shooterbenedetto Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) OK. This first video I shot the stage to run dry so you guys can see the 170mm works, then I had it run dry and loaded the 140mm and shot that till its dry!

BritinUSA Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Cool. I've been having issues with my .38 Super lately. After reloading the brass I get the nosedive issue with all my magazines, except the 27 rounder. The design of the feed lips is completely different with the 'big stick' and it has a narrower channel at the top so the 1st round sits directly on top of the 2nd. I'm not sure why Tanfoglio don't make all their magazines like this. I suspect your 9mm magazines look very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shooterbenedetto Posted August 10, 2010 Author Share Posted August 10, 2010 (edited) Thank you Britin! I have updated the link. My Large frame 38 super has my modified follower on it. All bullet stack up with with no space under, but Grams, it has space under the bullet and don't like it. it will nose dive on a bad day.. I also put my modified follower on the 9mm mags. Don't like the way bullets come up when I put on grams follower, but it can fit 30+1 and 23+1. Just not reliable I think? Hope this helps.

BritinUSA Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Maybe I just need some different followers. The only ones that I am aware of are Tanfoglio and Grams, is anyone else selling different followers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjanglin Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I use the Grams kits for the TZ mags, you do have to adjust the mag some= I use to 1/4 dia nylon rods and tape them in the mag "V" indentions, Then I put 8 rounds in the mags, put the mag in the vice with aluminum vice jaw inserts and put the mag in the groves of inserts with the rounds pointed so you can watch them I squeeze the mags so the second round moves more under the top round for support and Make sure the bottom rung/coil of the mag spring is down in the front this helps to support the rounds against the followers. I also do this with some of the caspian new mags. They are made by the same company as the TZ. Infact Ive been using the TZ mags in my Caspian forty for years, they are easy to recontour the top of the mags to fit the caspian frame.
