IHAVEGAS Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 I'm so confused. If you go back to the pictures referenced here then it looks like you can not remove metal from the area shown in figure 2. Somewhere this was probably clarified else MM would not have done it. Other thing is I'm not sure that an email from Troy satisfies "SPECIFICALLY authorized in an official, published NROI interpretation" per page 85 of the rulebook. Lots and lots and lots of guns would benefit from similar modification. If anyone is still in communication with Troy this would seem like a great thing for him to clarify in his USPSA mag column. While you are at it, sweet talk him into letting you knock a sharp edge off of a trigger guard . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somewhere this was probably clarified else MM would not have done it. He phrased it so it sounded like figure 2 in little series of photos was illegal. You could only reshape the inside of the existing opening. So I drew up the "figure 1/2/3" drawing and emailed it to him. His reply is included in that email exchange. He didn't see anything illegal in any of those photos. Or what the SIG guys were doing. The Sevigny Speedway is explicitly included, which turns a Glock into this: (Recall how the back of the magwell used to be a straight plastic wall, which people saw the need to invent a plug for) Edited February 1, 2017 by MemphisMechanic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHAVEGAS Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 That helps! Thank you. I do hope Troy does some sort of official clarification one of these days though. It seems like appendix D4 item 22.4 always confuses people, and when I asked my NROI instructor about making this type of mod to my CZ I was told that since it was not specifically authorized then it was not legal. My point being, it looks like you have found and shared the best answer, but the water might still be a little bit muddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precisely my own feelings as well. I'd like to see this explicitly worded in the rule book or at least in the NROI rule clarifications section of the USPSA website.

B_RAD Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 (edited) Don't suppose the Lim Pro is stainless under the hard chrome? Anyone know? Edited February 1, 2017 by B_RAD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemphisMechanic Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 The Stock III is blued. And mine was rusting from being out in the rain for a three hour match after I'd beaten up the magwell opening. You can see it in the first post. I wouldn't bank on it being Stainless.

EngineerEli Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Pretty sure its steel. My S2 is even showing tiny bits of rust in a few spots through the chrome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kraj Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 So with the new rules this is 100% no questions asked legal? Magwell Opening "No OFM or aftermarket external magwells. Internal magwell dimensions may be increased. Aftermarket external flaring is prohibited." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with the SIG X5 and Glock Gen5’s coming with built-in magwells you don’t even get to feel guilty about it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty79 Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Now we just need Angus and Stuart to do for Shadows. Dave at Cajun Gun Works should try this too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an external magwell. They include it so that the gun may be used for Limited minor/3 gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
