Noah my boy Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I use a paint marker on the side of the clip. It's receives less wear and tear than the base cap. They are really known as magazines. Clips are something one use in an M1 rifle. or something you put in your hair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Amish 1 Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 I swear by my monkeys! Surprised monkey for mags that don't drop freely when empty. Smiling monkey for mags that drop freely when empty.

kevin c Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 (edited) I normally use a engraving tool when I do number mags. It's permanent Did that to my Grams tuned Para mags. At >$120 each, I figured it was worth while to get a professional job. for plastic mags (glock magazines), I use a silver sharpie... Ditto I like to use a solder iron on my plastic glock mags. ...It helps if you have a steady hand. I don't... eta: hankfan, did you also paint that basepad?

Big fat grin monkey for the big stick. It's a foolproof system.... That's almost as good as my system. We still have a high cap mag ban here, so I mark my mags with other people's names. (I'm joking, I don't have any full cap pistol mags, post or pre ban. But if I did, it's not a bad idea... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiDirkona Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 I like to use a solder iron on my plastic glock mags. +1 Can't beat it. Very cheap at Wal-Mart. It helps if you have a steady hand. Please tell me that says "BAMF" on the back of your mags. (Pulp Fiction reference...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_kothmann Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Buddie got a number sticker and sand blasted at a low pressure the mag tubes (2011). peel the sticker off and the result was a very polished looking number surrounded but a very matte outline. if you had a sticker that was the opposite I think that could be done as well. I guess you wouldn't know which one was in the gun until you pulled the mag out though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewiston Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Brother Label maker. Initials and # on magazine body and base plate. Proven to be quite durable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryShoots Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 On Glock mags and any with a plastic base pad I take a number punch and set a number in the plastic. Then I take a white crayola crayon and rub it over the number. I then wipe off the excess crayon and I have a permanent number. Btw this trick works awesome on the round count numbers on the back of Glock mags. Observe... This mag is several seasons and many cleanings since it was marked. Redo them once in a while cause crayons is cheap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Matzka Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Brother P-Touch label maker. Numbers go on the front near the basepad, my last name on the back near the basepad. Been using them for years (12 years for some of them)and I've never had to replace one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me that says "BAMF" on the back of your mags. (Pulp Fiction reference...) Sorry I forgot about this thread. YES it says "BMF" on every mag and yes it means what you think it means I also DID paint the basepads with FUSION spraypaint. It "supposedly" chemically bonds with plastic. I dunno about all that but it works great. I have lost several mags that were returned to me later because everyone knew I had red basepads along with the "BMF" on them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
