hdgun Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 I have three Caspian high caps and love them, I have two first gen framed blasters and one second (Fantom). I have three Craig mags in 40S&W that i got when I bought my Fantom,They are flowless in that gun. I found they are too tight in the other framed guns. Did Caspian change any dimentions between the first and second gen frames? or was the Fantom modified to take these mags. Second:One of my first gen frames has grips on it,I want to take the grips off and use grip tape in place. Who or what do I use to fill in the big voids in the frame? Thanks for any help.

Little Bill Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 John- I remember reading somewhere that Craig mags don't fit the 1st Gen frames due to some internal difference in the magzine slot dimensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted December 21, 2004 Author Share Posted December 21, 2004 I suspected that was the case,but had to make sure. Do you or anyone know if at all I could get them to work? Thanks for the reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Bill Posted December 22, 2004 Share Posted December 22, 2004 I would suggest e-mailing Caspian directly or go post this question over at the www.maxmichel.com forum in Travis Tomasie's area. He is THE man when it comes to Caspian 40s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 My Caspian Open gun has the big holes covered by Skateboard tape. Cover 'em up and you'll never know the difference. Unless someone pokes something through the tape. A buddy of mine has a Caspian Open gun that looks like swiss chesse. Quite a few holes drilled in the frame.

hdgun Posted December 24, 2004 Author Share Posted December 24, 2004 SRT, do you feel where the big holes are with the tape?When you grip the gun does the tape press on the mag?I am not talking about the small round holes like 2nd gen frame. I have another 1st gen frame that has these blocks in place.I was wondering who did this or who can do this. Thanks, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT Driver Posted December 25, 2004 Share Posted December 25, 2004 I didn't notice the holes until I detail stripped it for the first time. It is a 2nd gen frame though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rack&roll Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 hdgun, Bob Cogan's "Accurate Plating & Weaponry" in Safety Harbor, FL. can probably help you. They did a lot of the welding of the grip holes on the 1st gen frames. They did this because of their tendency to crack! They have altered the Pro Mags for my 1st gen Caspian .45. Good Luck.

AWLAZS Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 The Craig mags fit fine in my 1st gen frame. I spoke with Caspian they told me the internal measurements of the frame are the same for their guns 1st or second. Measure the mag you are having problems with you may need to put it in a vise to work out a fat spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdgun Posted March 26, 2005 Author Share Posted March 26, 2005 I actually got them to fit. Had to work the mag tunnel quite a bit. Now they work really well. Alen Meek has them right now.(tunning) should get them back soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
