Peanutpower Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi all,I recently bought a sti branded conversion kit and I got 4 magazines to go with it. However de magazines only hold 10 rounds and probaly 9 for real. I have been doing a lot of research this week and the information is very limited. I would like to upgrade the capacity of my magazines. Is there anyway i can do this? For instances can I use diffrentBaseplates and if so what kind? Or can I do some modifications on the follower?

dansedgli Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 They don't have rods under the followers do they? Mine did, I cut them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawsonprecision Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 If you have the aluminum Tactical solutions magazines, cut the steel rod off the bottom of the follower and shorten the magazine spring. The springs in my magazines were way too long. My mags hold 14 rds. If you have the plastic Advantage Arms magazines, You can shorted the magazine spring plug, I made some new plugs out of aluminum and the mags hold 15 rds.

Any chance you could post some pictures from your modifications? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
