brian45acp Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 I have the 10 round sp-01 mags and they are sensitive to dirt. I havent had a failure yet but by the sixth stage the rounds start getting loose and I can tell its time to clean them. I am wanting to put extra power mag springs in just for added insurance. Are these for the 10 rounds mags also? If they are for full capacity mags I would imaging in the 10 round mags they might be like +20% and I am not sure that would cause issues. http://czcustom.com/CZ75magazinesprings10.aspx Also what is the magic about these? http://czcustom.com/cz-aluminum-base_pad-10_round_standard.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRanta Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 If magazine is dirty it is best to clean it. You have to do it regardless of magazine spring type. What you mean by "the rounds start getting loose"? Are they starting rattle, falling off or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJGary Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Any of my mags that hit the sand gets cleaned after the ro and myself score the stage. ALWAYS I run the plus 10 springs in all my full size mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian45acp Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 What I mean is a mag with say 7 rounds in it there is no spring pressure and the rounds will just rattle out because the follower isn't pushing up. I'm sure it's because they are dirty but I wouldn't mind some extra power springs. What I'm thinking is the springs that are stock for the 10 round mags may already act like extra power since the tube isn't as long and I think they are the same springs for the full capacity mags. I'm just not sure which springs I would need. Or maybe none at all and just clean my mags. They are a pain to get together though. The retaining plate is difficult to get seated. I saw CZ custom sells a polymer retaining plate I may try but at $8 a piece that better actually be "better" then the presses steel stock ones. So what do u guys think?

CeeZer Posted April 25, 2015 Share Posted April 25, 2015 Yes you can use +10% springs in 10rds mags without cutting them. I'd recommend you smoothing out and polishing mag lips where they come in contact with top round thou. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian45acp Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 so those springs I linked above are the right ones even for the 10 rounders? I have 1500 sandpaper. Would that work for smoothing the mags out? I dont really see that being the issue I am having though. The rounds will start to not push back up to the feed lips because mostly they are getting dirty but I am sure some extra power springs will help a bit.

PRanta Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Extra spring power might help you little. The final solution is regular cleaning. Normally magazines are not lubricated, but you could try Moly or Teflon based dry lubricant. I have never needed to polish CZ factory magazines.

Arredondo mag brush makes it fast and easy to dis-assemble and clean mags during matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian45acp Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks guys. I have a brush but will get the Arredondo brush. Actually Ralph shoots USPSA at our club I see him often and all the guys have his stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brian45acp Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I did some research and it seems the 5% are a better option. I think especially since I have the 10 round mags I bet the 5% will act more like a 10%. Some are saying the spring needs to break in or will have feed issues until then etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brisix Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I had feeding issues with my factory mags with 10% spring until I loaded them up with 11 rounds and let them sit over night. I also use frog-lube on my mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brian45acp Posted May 4, 2015 Author Share Posted May 4, 2015 Follow up: 5% springs worked great. My mags were less sensitive to dirt and I ran all 6 stages with out cleaning mags. The 5% springs in the 10 round mags were just about right. With the shorter mag tubes on the 10 rounders the 5% springs are more then likely about 10%.
