kalaur Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I've never seen a 22 round mag that fits in the gauge. I'd be interested in the tube/guts combo if someone does have 22 round mag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Hello; Not going to happen with a STI tube. 20 or 21 rounds. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lilbeauxdawg Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I can get 22 in the mag plus 1 in the gun with a rescomp tube bolen 3mm pad, spring and follower. I haven't measured the mag yet to make sure it fits but once I get my hand on a gauge I'll check it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pvhendrix Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 (edited) I can get 22 in the mag plus 1 in the gun with a rescomp tube bolen 3mm pad, spring and follower. I haven't measured the mag yet to make sure it fits but once I get my hand on a gauge I'll check it. I have the exact same mag setup and mine fits the gauge.

Braxton1 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 I'd LOVE to see a 140 STI with SNL fit the gauge. I never have. I'm starting to think that they're like unicorns: never seen but they supposedly exist.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm starting to think that they're like unicorns: never seen but they supposedly exist.... Hello: I have 6 STI 140mm mags with Dawson "SNL" that fit the gauge just fine. They hold a reloadable 20 rounds. The Grams base pads have a little more room than the "SNL" but not that much more. My Rescomp holds 21 rounds reloadable with Bolen 3mm and Bolen spring and follower. I have not cut the spring to give it that extra room. I also have a SVI tube with Grams 4mm base pad and a Bolen/follower setup that holds 21 rounds reloadable. I like reliable mags so I will give up 1 round for reliability.

Thanks, Eric I wonder what vintage those mags are. Apparently, there is about a 3mm length difference between current production STI tubes and ones produced a few years ago (with the older mags being shorter).

Corey Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ive got fairly recent(bought within the past year) 140 STI mags all with Dawson SNL pads that all fit my gauge. No tuning and they all hold 20 startable, couple are reloadable 20 with Grams internals. I'd love to get my hands on a 21 or 22 round mag for those random 22 rounds stages to avoid a reload. Would have been nice to have one in Oh last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillD Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Corey, All it takes is money!! I think I used the 22 round mag 4-5 times at Ohio. Didn't always need it but when one is firing 20 rounds from one spot, it's nice to have a couple makeup shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul-the new guy Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 I'd LOVE to see a 140 STI with SNL fit the gauge. I never have. I'm starting to think that they're like unicorns: never seen but they supposedly exist.... less than a year old and I have more just like it.... They only hold 20 but reload easily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted June 11, 2012 Share Posted June 11, 2012 At area 6 I pick up a set from , all hold 20 reload. and 1 holds 21 + 1 in the pipe= 22 to start. They all fit the gauge not much wiggle room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Do you put a 170mm spring on these or 140mm? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 140mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasonub Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 thanks. I thought 170 since the basepad is lengthened significantly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 140 springs here also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EkuJustice Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 thanks. I thought 170 since the basepad is lengthened significantly The basepad really isnt lengthened that much. It just looks that way because how the dawson is designed. The bolen for instance sits at the very bottom of the mag. The dawsson covers alot of the mag and sits near the bottom of the extentsion. Its not like a glock where the mag starts at the top of the insert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
