Colt Mag seating

[Acer2428]

I ran  a TF +10 on an ASC 20 rd'er and still only loaded to 20'ish rounds (or less for a classifier). The TF has rounded edges and allowed me to push/smack without fear of putting a hole in my hand and the lower spring tension made seating on a closed bolt easier.

 

In the end it's a band-aid and I went Glock/MPX to get away from it.

Another alternative to base pads are the flexible covers you can find on Ben Stoeger Pro Shop made to slip over the base plate of colt pattern mags.

They show avail, but won't let you add to cart. Has been that way since I started looking for a solution for what feels like over a year.

I’ve been using a ghetto fix for the sharp corners. 

 

just keep wrapping electric tape around the base.

How do you clean the inside of the mag if you drop it?
