Hello Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Actually, I just checked all my 140mm limited mags. They are STI tubes with SNL pads and all 8 of them will not sit against both pads without a slight amount of pressure to overcome the spring pressure on the base pad. Take the spring out and they are plenty legal. These are mags that have passed inspection at matches before, under the revised rules they may not pass again. Just checked some other mags; old SV with TT bp and STI with Grams. If you have any up and down play in your base pads at all, I believe Grams recommends some, your mag will not sit against both pads without some downward pressure to overcome spring pressure. This sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandbagger123 Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 (edited) I have 4 170's that fit if you take the spring out or put slight pressure, all 28 rounders. So is it legal to remove the spring before checking? Sorry been answered in previous posts Edited October 24, 2014 by Sandbagger123 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillieWonker Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 Does anyone here know the magazine length rules for IPSC Standard division? I read the rules and I am unclear as to the base pad extension. 140 or No Base Pad extensions at all? I have shoot USPSA, but I will be traveling abroad and I maybe able to get to a IPSC match. However, I do not know anyone who shoots IPSC. Any help with this is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, the gun, with a magazine inserted must fit within a box which has internal dimensions of 225 mm x 150 mm x 45 mm. Note that all magazines must comply. And Standard has the same holster and mag pouch position restrictions as Production does here (behind the hip bone as viewed from the side).

shred Posted January 29 Share Posted January 29 Stick a US penny to the bottom of your mag and use the US gauge. It'll take up the 1.25mm difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terrydoc Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) From the IPSC RULE BOOK The magazine is placed vertically upright on a flat surface, with the measurement taken from the flat surface upwards to the rear of the feed-lips, as illustrated. Only straight, rigid magazines are permitted (i.e. flexible, drum, "J", "L", "T" or similar shape magazines are prohibited) Edited January 31 by terrydoc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Dino "blessed" it during the PanAm in Jamaica ...) However, I've no idea how or where to find any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
