justaute Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just got these. Will do a review soon. Upon initial inspection, fit and function appear to be very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czhase Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Do they add any capacity, or just thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just thick and heavier -- still USPSA legal. The plastic basepad that comes with the Mag sucks. Do they add any capacity, or just thick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that the factory plastic suck. I just looked them up on the Springer Precision page, $17.50 isn't a bad price. Keep us posted on how you like them.

DoubleL Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 These look awesome! Thanks for putting up the link eerw and I for one am interested in how well they hold up justaute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 (edited) These look awesome! Thanks for putting up the link eerw and I for one am interested in how well they hold up justaute. I finally got a chance to do some dryfiring today. Still too wet and cold around these parts to do live-firing. The basepads felt really good. I think the dimensions are about right. Here's a picture comparing the three basepads I have. Will report back after I have had a chance to live-fire. L-R: Beretta, Springer Precision (sample, pre-anodized), and MecGar stock Edited February 5, 2014 by justaute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubleL Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Thanks for more pics justaute. You mentioned that the base pads add a bit more weight. Would this pose an issue making weight in Production? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justaute Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 For USPSA, no issue for me. The basepad weighs about 1.0 oz. The Beretta basepad weighs about 0.5 oz. Not sure about IPSC. Thanks for more pics justaute. You mentioned that the base pads add a bit more weight. Would this pose an issue making weight in Production?

Loves2Shoot Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 Thanks for the input and feedback. To let interested folks know, we made them the same length as the factory 18 round magazine OAL. We also made them for the 16 and 18 round factory magazines, so if you have a mix of mags and put our pads on, they will be the same OAL length. You can also use the Arredondo mag brush to take the plates off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have quite a few things to get through, but I do have an extension design that if it works, we will likely apply to versions that they are not readily available at a reasonable price.

justaute Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 DoubleL, Just shot a local match with the new Springer basepads. Other than a couple of small nicks, not unexpected, they worked flawlessly. As far as cleaning/removal goes, my Arredondo brush works just fine. Also added some grip tape to the bottom. Here are a couple of pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLeeCZ Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 (edited) Blue or dark green would be nice colors to add. Not crazy about red so black may have to work. They do look nice though, even the red. Edited February 9, 2014 by XDMer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 These look great. Do they work on the new CZC 17 rounders as well? Any pictures of what the numbering and and Name options look like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eerw Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Alma. Scott webstore shows he is making three pads. One for the 18, one for the 16, and one for the 17. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loves2Shoot Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 These look great. Do they work on the new CZC 17 rounders as well? Any pictures of what the numbering and and Name options look like? We can do any standard font. I seems these are being well received, so we will be adding blue and on the next run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alma Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Alma. Scott webstore shows he is making three pads. One for the 18, one for the 16, and one for the 17.Right but the 16 and 18 round pads say they are for CZ factory mags whereas the 17 round pays say they fit the mecgear. I assume that is who makes the new CZC mags bit you know what they said abort assuming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Antichrome Posted February 9, 2014 Share Posted February 9, 2014 Nice. Significantly cheaper than the shockbottle basepads. I'd like to see a side by side comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
