Gooldylocks Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 I have tried to search but can't seem to find what I'm looking for anywhere. This is mostly directed at the Euro crowd or those that shoot matches under international rules... What mag setup are you using to fit the gauge? I know for a fact my big stick is too long to fit the 170 gauge, and was planning on shooting IPSC nationals in July. I hopefully would be able to get another big stick (I'm back down to only 1 after selling my backup gun) and set it up for IPSC, and get a different basepad to make my current mag fit. Potential options I see: SV with 3mm TTI New STI with 3mm TTI Complete SV 170 170mm MBX (didn't know this was an option until today) Since I just today discovered the 170mm MBX I will probably go that route, unless someone has information saying they don't actually fit or something. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gooldylocks Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Svi with the 3mm tti pad and grams guts. How many are you getting in that setup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 29 reloadable. or 30 if i smash it. but realistically 29 is all i ever need out of a big stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

outerlimits Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 might wanna also check the IPSC procedure for measuring with a gauge... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sounds the same as USPSA, in my reading of it at least: Quote Appendix E1: Magazine Measurement Procedure The magazine is placed vertically upright on a flat surface, with the measurement taken from the flat surface upwards to the rear of the feed-lips, as illustrated. Only straight, rigid magazines are permitted (i.e. flexible, drum, "J", "L", "T" or similar shape magazines are prohibited). 20 minutes ago, tcazes said: mine did. i made sure it would pass ipsc and uspsa Good to know. That was the way I was originally leaning until I saw I could just buy a complete mag from MBX. I will look into it again, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d_striker Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 If you already have MBX tubes, you can order the shorter MBX IPSC base pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooldylocks Posted May 23, 2018 Author Share Posted May 23, 2018 Just now, d_striker said: If you already have MBX tubes, you can order the shorter MBX IPSC base pad. I do not. Old style SV here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 If you have old style just get new pads and guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was planning on getting another magazine regardless, and was going to set it up to be IPSC legal while also changing the basepad on my current mag so I would be back to two. My current mag is sick, it is an old style SV tuned by Beven with his guts and a 4mm TTI pad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tcazes Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice. I couldn't get a 4mm pad to fit the guage so I run a 3mn tti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sauza45 Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 I have the old style 170 sti mags with dawson snl pads for uspsa. For IPSC I just swapped the base pads for the factory sti pads, lost 1 round but fit the gauge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSGJohnV Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 Buy an MBX and just change the basepad to the IPSC legal one for Nationals. If you need one, give me a shout as I just ordered two for myself! HA! Thanks for reminding me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rescator Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 I am using STI old tubes with Grams 2,5 mm pads and Grams internals. 29 rounds reloadable in .38 super comp. Needs a bit of tuning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Can add anything to the mag discussion but just make sure they measure it correctly. The procedure quoted above is correct. Using a DAA gauge is not.A mate spend probably 40 minutes filing a basepad at the World Shoot gun check because they were using a DAA gauge at the pre-check. Turns out it was fine all along if they measured correctly Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 From my experience at the 2017 Worlds in France: SVI 170mm with SVI 1mm basepad passed. MBX 170mm with MBX IPSC basepad passed. MBX 170mm with MBX regular basepad did not pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
