I was just wondering if this combo is the same length as using the short CZ Custom base that is not in stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to fit the +2 on the bottom of my cz 18 rounder (usually can squeeze 19) so technically this would give me 22 rounds for CO. MecGar plastic +2 base on a 18/19 round CZ tube. eerw and others seem pretty sure this will not fit the gage. Is this close enough to file plastic off the back edge of the base pad and get it to fit and still work correctly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsoncustom Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 No it doesnt fit the gauge as is. Now can you file it to make it fit? Maybe it looks like it would be close but it would also weaken the base pad enough that it might break when it hits the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the Taran Tactical TTI +2 CZ Base Pad (CZBP940-00) with the 18 round CZC tube does fit the gauge. I bought it because CZC was out of stock on their base. The website I bought it from did say it would fit the gauge. I did have to file the back lips on the tube a tiny bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogtired Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 (edited) Yes, L shaped base plate. The TF pads use a set screw which I like a little better. Edited March 16, 2017 by dogtired Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bsand Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I think there is a L shaped plate that has to be pushed up to get the base off.Is it like the mecgar +2s? I really like how simple they are to take apart. But I almost want the TT way tho, that one pin seems pretty robust and easy to take apart quickly without losing any parts. But not sure of the +2 are 140mm legal on a 18 round tube. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 Just a little. The back of the lips touched the gauge a little and there was a little light where the back of the mag should touch the gauge. Hardly noticeable. Yours might fit. as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haywizzle Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I took some pics. I have CZ factory 18 round tubes and just bought three TT pads and have a EGW gauge. I also have the CZC short pad for comparison. Gauge: CZC's: TT#1: (Fits) TT#2: (Doesn't fit) TT#3: (Doesn't fit by more than #2) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

selecw Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 (edited) Springer basepads on Mec-Gar 17 rounds now gives me 22 + 1. Initially it had been 21+1 but the springs have now compressed a bit. And it easily fits the gauge. I might even be able to squeeze 23 in but it might be risky in a match. Edited March 17, 2017 by selecw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk They are 18 round CZ factory tubes. I used the 4 in the first pic and did not switch them around. I have heard the mags can different from the factory. 8 hours ago, LeviSS said: How many rounds in the CZC? I use Bevin Grams' spring and followers. I could fit 23 in all four of the mags above in their current state. They seem reloadable in dry fire. I have not got a chance to use them in real fire.
