I had to file the front and rear of the Grams followers to get them to slide all the way down the tube and into the extension. I get 23 rounds in Mecgar 17rd with Springer extensions and Grams kits. No I did not. Any info on where and how much ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
858 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I've never seen instructions. SP told me take some off the front and back of the follower until you can load the mag to capacity. In my case, I couldn't even get 10 rounds in the mag so it was more obvious. Just start with a few light file strokes front and rear and test file.

Fits gauge, holds 20+1, and locks slide back. Have been very reliable. I am getting 22 with that combo, I think I have Grams spring/follower.

GregJ Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 I tweaked the two Grams follower/springs I had, with the CZ 16rnd and long CZ pad, I finally got 22 +1, could go 23 but waaay to tight for a reliable reload. With the CZ 18rnd short CZ pad I got 23 +1 (very tight). If both prove to be reliable, this will be my start mag and the other my #1 mag. After tweaking both locked slide back.

858 Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 All of my magazines with extensions and grams kits locked the slide back to start with. None of them do now. I would not count on the slide locking back for very long, if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UFO Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Taran +2 base pads and Grams follower and spring. Holds 22 easily re-loadable shot them for the first time today and by end of day a couple of the mags were able to hold 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paramajic4 Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Henning is now making basepads for the 18 round CZ mags. The final capacity would depend on what followers you're using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc1 Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 On 9/14/2017 at 9:26 PM, Timido said: I put +10% wolf springs in them for extra insurance. 21 rounds they lock the slide back and fit the EGW gauge. 17 round mecgar mags Taran Tactical +4. They work great. All stocked at my favorite store https://www.shootersconnectionstore.com Seems like other people are getting 23 rds with a different setup and follower. I would like to keep the stock follower and would like to get your setup. So to confirm your setup, you are using taran +4 base pads, +10% wolf spring that fits perfectly on the stock follower for a total of 21 rds and able to get with slide lock without any issues correct?

kipdynamite Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 The kit off BS Pro Shop worked great. Taran +4, MecGar 17 Rd. Tubes, Grams spring and follower. 23 rounds, no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timido Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 Correct. And like others have said you could use grams followers and springs to get an extra 2 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
