kk4364 Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 As the title says, I ordered an SV skatrr terraun grip , competition size for small to medium hands. It's going on sn SV sight tracker, from about 2004. I have always used old atyle SV mag bodies, and some new gen Sti. But that was with a polymer grip, and steel Limcat grip. Will I still be able to use the old style Sv tubes? And still use the new gen Sti tubes? Any insight would be helpful, I don't want to buy all new Sv mags. Also with Sv billet grip and Xl competition aluminum magwell, will i be able to use Dawson pads? Or stick with Grams and Tti? Thanks in advance.

RangerTrace Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Unless something has changed, SV tubes will work perfectly. Any other brand and you will have to file on the slot in the tube to get them to work. SV raised the mag catch in the grip just a tad to help feeding.

kk4364 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Thanks, I was hoping I didn't have to change. I've got about a dozen old style Sv and they have worked perfect in every gun I've owned. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk I always used Grams with my SVs. Supposedly SV has a new, improved follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 5, 2020 Author Share Posted May 5, 2020 Yeah, I ordered some, thinking the followers would have the same base (where the spring attaches) i was wrong, it is set up for their springs. I loved the old red competition followers. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RangerTrace Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 I may have a few of those red ones laying around. If I find them, you can have them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnettcw1 Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Dawson SNL basepads work fine on my SVI with SVI tubes. I have Signature steel grip with SV aluminum magwell. You should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Thank you, not that I have any issue with Tti or Grams, I've always liked the Dawson's Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjb45 Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 I have used Grams, SV, Bolen/TTI, and Dawson in my SVs; base pads, followers, springs-SV mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

falconpilot Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Anyone know if MBX's or STI will fit the 172 grip? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
427Cobra Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 My 2017 sight tracker feeds reliably from SV and STI tubes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kk4364 Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 So I have to say, after getting this SV grip I felt like a noob. The tolerances on parts like the magwell pin, magazine release were super tight. I actually had to use a punch to get the mag release out. I thought I was loosing my mind. All in all I am very happy with my decision. I received the grip one day shy of a month. Called SV, a couple times and was helped very promptly. All in all a great learning experience. And every single magazine I have, about a dozen old style SV magazines, 4 STI gen 2 magazines, 1 mbx magazine, and one 1st gen magazine. All function and drop free. Thanks for all the great answers. Here is how it turned out. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
