59Bassman Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 My 75 Shadow does double duty as my Production gun, a SSP gun, and a 3 gun pistol. I've discovered that my Mec-Gar AFC's with +2's are too big to fit the box, so I've ordered a small stack of Mec-Gar's without the +2's to use for USPSA and IDPA. But I've been dumb enough to register for the Rockcastle Pro-Am, and I'm wondering if I can configure my mags for a couple more rounds at start. I like the Mec Gars, and they have worked extremely well. However, I'm wondering if there are other combos that will give me more than 19 rounds. I took the Grams spring and follower out of one of my CTS mags, and I was able to get 20 in a CZ factory 18 rounder with the Grams spring and follower, but I didn't like how the follower sat for the last couple rounds. Any other thoughts, combos to consider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steel1212 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I've got a couple of the CZ mags that come with Shadows. I added a CZ basepad and a plus 10 spring and I'm getting 21-22 I think in there. The rest I just use my MecGar AFR 16 rounders and roll on.

Brenden Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I have a 75b sa on order, that I want to run in limited minor. Any thoughts on a magazine setup would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
59Bassman Posted February 28, 2012 Author Share Posted February 28, 2012 I've got a CZCustom extended pad coming, and had a nice chat with Grams engineering today. With any luck at least one of my mags will be 22 or 23 at the start buzzer by next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brenden Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 eerw, would you mind sharing your recipes for high capicity? Being on a budget I can't afford to experiment too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreMan72 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I almost messed up and got the "long" extensiond from CZC. I was getting 24 for sure. One day I actually took a measuring tape to it and opps.....I was over 140mm. I have since ordered the shorted ones....They should be in today. I have grams in there as well. I hope to get 23....

rundownfid Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Perhaps someone with a good overall perspective could reintegrate the above information. I am using the Mec Gar AFRs and would like to have at least one mag that is 20+ cap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am using the Mec Gar AFRs and would like to have at least one mag that is 20+ cap. are your running the Mecgar +2 pad also? just order up a grams kit. that should add 1 or 2 rounds right there.

59Bassman Posted March 1, 2012 Author Share Posted March 1, 2012 So far, I ordered a Grams kit (call them, they know what you need for a CZ 75). Last night I put that kit into one of my Mec-Gar AFC mags with a +2 base. Normal capacity for the mag is 19. With the Grams kit, the mag easily fit 21. I'm hoping the longer base pad gets me 2 more.

OffshoreMan72 Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 I had to call them. I sent email and it took a few days for them to get back. (949) 548-3745 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OffshoreMan72 Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Ok. I have my short "legal" mag bases on this evening and got 22 in the mags easily. Happy that I am legal again. Glad I took the measuring tape out. I only use the shadow for 3gun but was a 1/4" long. All good on my CTS. 20 40's in those. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?x5i34q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
