cperazza Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Looking to upgrade the Magwell in a PT EVO Grip. What are the recommendations? LIMCAT / Akai / Dawson / PT / EMG Looking for a self correcting and minimum fitting Magwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheby Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) I tried the limcat magwell on my PT EVO Grips. It took some fitting. It does not fit the EVO PT grips ideally. I ended up with the PT magwell. I installed it on two identical guns. One took no fitting at all, the other one was a little tight. Both work fine. I like the feel of the PT better as it gives you more room for your grip and I do not have large hands. The PT grip is slightly lighter compared to the Limcat.

Silent Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I had to fit my PT magwell to get it on the PT grip, which seems odd... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moloch38 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I went new PT Magwell on PT Evo grip, no fitting. Works like a Dyson vacuum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertwil18 Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 What is the weight of the PT EVO magwell? I have both the EVO and the Akai, and like them both, but I think there is a difference in weight even in aluminum models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad_Karma Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 How does the aluminum hold up compared to steel magwells? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVPFc Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 PT Magwell weighs 2.3oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MNshooter Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I put the Limcat on PT EVO grip. Don’t let the “fitting” scare you. I’m an absolute idiot and I was able to do the fitting in minutes with a cheap old file I found in my garage. It’s not hard at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted March 16, 2020 Share Posted March 16, 2020 I sent my PT evo sent to Hayes custom guns for the grip modification. I'm able to kept my Dawson Ice magwell. The mags reload very easy now. I don't need any longer mags that the self correcting magwells would have required for me. It was the cheaper option for me being in a ban state.

The magwell funnels down to the shape of a mag to guide the mag into the proper position. Some were jamming mags in traditional magwells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
