DyNo! Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I don't own a Glock and don't want to. Is there a way for me to get a lower or a mag block that uses 2011 magazines? It looks like this one is sold as a complete rifle only. Link to comment

3gunnuts Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Interesting as I have several 2011's but I fail to see the advantage other than cross compatibility? Link to comment
JAFO Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I don't own a Glock, either. But I have about 10 Glock mags in varying sizes for my PCC. Link to comment
mike4045 Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 I know there were a couple in development. Never saw advantage to one. The glock guns run and have capacity advantage. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 Hello: Glock 33rd mags are $29. Magazine extension are $20-$60 each. Glock 17 mags are under $20 each. So for under $200 you can have all the mags you will ever need for a PCC. STI mags that you have will only hold a maximum of 36 rounds with the correct base pad and no one makes a 10 round base pad and spring that I know of. Now if you are in a 10 round state then the STI lower would be a good idea so reloads could be done faster or maybe IDPA also. Thanks, Eric Link to comment

Thanks, Eric Unrelated to the original topic, but what setup can be used to get 36 rounds in a 2011 magazine? I had thought about a 7mm basepad on a 170, but I didn’t expect more than a couple of extra rounds. Link to comment

I don't know that you can get to 36 rounds with it on a 170 because I have had no reason to try it, but I can squeeze 25 rounds non-reloadable into a couple of my old style SV 140 open mags with it on the shorter mag.

Aircooled6racer Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 Hello: To get the top secret 36 round magazines you have to know the secret handahske as well. Old style SVI 170mm tube. ISMI 170mm spring and wait for it------- a Dawson extended Para base pad. I also use the Para base pads on my 140mm tubes to give me 27 rounds. If you need some Dawson para base pads I should have a couple of them. Thanks, Eric Link to comment

Matt1911 Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 (edited) I don't own a glock, but I'd rather pay $30 or less for some glock mags to get a competent lower that is plentiful and works well instead of worrying if the lower that uses $100 mags will work or not.

andrewt556 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Glock mags in PCC's tend to work pretty well. I prefer base pads over splices tho. Link to comment
USCSBarney Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 The Nordic magwell is at least on their site now. Sent them maybe the 10th email in 2 years asking when they might actually be produced. Will report IF they actually answer this one. Link to comment
CalTeacher Posted March 17, 2019 Share Posted March 17, 2019 Maybe Nordic is realizing the futility of a 2011 mag based PCC Link to comment

We’re currently waiting on a run of the Delrin filler for the magwell insert, but there should be some of these available within the next few weeks. Link to comment

tha1000 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Taking the pickiest firearm platform and combining it with the pickiest type of magazine seems like a recipe for never finishing a stage... Link to comment

Sorry to resurrect an older thread but that's pretty damn funny. Mainly because there's much truth in it. Link to comment
shred Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 I used an old mech-tech upper on a STI frame for a while in PCC. Shoots as well as an AR and reloads way faster. Link to comment
Kema Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 STI mags are so overpriced, need tuning and expensive parts that I rather have PCC with Glock magazines. Well I am only buying new springs for STI mags and 3D print followers and basepads, but still.. Yeah I am cheap. Link to comment

mellino19 Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I understand being invested in STI magazines already and wanting a rifle that uses them, but I don't see the harm in a Glock magazine lower PCC besides needing to spend a bit more on extra mags you don't already own. As another mentioned; Glock magazines are very cheap compared to STI/any 2011 magazine and in the PCC world, the Glock has better capacity capabilities over the STI with the wide array of base pad extensions available. Just get a few 33rd sticks with some MBX mini/mega or Taylor Freelance Goliath's and hit the range for like $200 less than an STI 170mm mag. You say you don't own a Glock or want to, buying that magazine for a PCC doesn't meant you're obligated to buy a Glock Link to comment

Used the 'para block' to cover the frame ramp and it worked well. No idea if any of that stuff is available anymore, but at one time Dawson had a kit with a big basepad and Arrendondo insert and so on that would get 34-ish rounds. I drug it out to a match and shot 100% on a classifier with it in PCC, so it's perfectly capable, except maybe for lack of parts. I could holster it in a race holster just for the hell of it.

A friend of mine bought a trojan pcc last year and boy it gave him lots of problems. Now he shoots JP pcc and he is very happy with it. Link to comment
