WJM Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 I was able to get my hands on some Tanfoglio Large Frame basepads for my Stock 2's and after dry firing with them for a few hours, and shooting with them in a match, all I can say is wow. I have used a few different kinds of basepads, and these are without a doubt the best ones I have tried. They are heavier than the Henning basepads, and they are also easier to come off and clean my mags (both the EG and Henning have a allen wrench that is a PITA and strips too easily). My favorite feature is that they can't be overinserted like the EG or Henning. I had issues while doing slide lock reloads where it would become overinserted with the EG and Henning, and it would cause a death jam of sorts. Plus, the most important thing about them, they are almost half the price of the other ones. Even the BSPS base pads which are very similar are $25, and the Springer's are $15. Thanks, WJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torogi Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Will it fit the box? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Yes. The small frames with the springers on your old stock II just fit the box at nationals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merion1930 Posted August 11, 2015 Share Posted August 11, 2015 My Springers just arrived. The large frame Stock II will fit the box with them as well, correct? (Nervous) My understanding has been that the difference between the LF and SF Stock II is internal mag well dimensions and the like (Still nervous).

Their website indicates that the springers are 1.3 oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WJM Posted August 11, 2015 Author Share Posted August 11, 2015 I measured mine twice and both of my Stock 2's fit in the box and make weight. WJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosiershooter Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Will these fit Stock III mags? Or do you have to use the CZ Springer pads. Thanks for the write up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnuke146 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I have two full sets now for my M&P's, make a big difference not having to deal with that big rounded unnecessary lip protruding from the front of the base pad! For a couple bucks more Scott will engrave mag #'s and name and come in multi colors.... Basically they rock! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll need the new witness large frame pads if you have a large frame stock II or III. For the small frames, I found the CZ 16 round mag basepads worked the best. That's what I used on my mags at nationals for the box. It just fits with about a centimeter of room at the top and bottom, but it fits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haiedras Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The cut depth is different. I'll post a picture when I get a chance with some measurement data Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haiedras Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Visual difference between mecgar 17 basepad on left, 16 rounder on the right. Rough measurement of cut depth on 16 rd basepad. Rough measurement for mecgar 17 basepad. Visual difference mounted on a plated cz mag and a small frame tanfo mag. The 18s are even deeper. Hope this helps.

1911A12011 Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Is the Springer Precision base pad legal for IPSC Production Division? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeerBaron Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 It's a bit of a grey area for ipsc. Pads are legal as long as they don't 'add significant weight over the standard pads'. No one really know what 'significant' means. The extreme pads are legal as are the shockbottle pads. The springers 'should' be legal as long as they are not too big/heavy.

I'm using ShockBottles for start mags and Springer for the rest. Do they not come as far forward as the shock bottle ones? In the pics above it looks like I can still see the front of the mag well even with the mag inserted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAYZER Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Looking at them closerr, how is the lock-up on the pads? I see no setscrew. Does it use a special base plate? If so it wont add any capacity right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrongArm67 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I have a set and they latch using the factory floor plate as it "snaps" in to the hole in the Springer base pad. They lock up good and no, they don't add any extra capacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
