FALAR Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I'd like to find one 2011 magazine that works in all of my guns so I don't have to have several kinds, each for a specific brand. SVI mags are great but won't work in STI/Staccato (or Nighthawk, looks like Staccato mag catches there). MBX mags technically work in everything, they just won't drop free from my SVIs.

RangerTrace Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 SV has a higher mag catch, so the Atlas mag won't work or at least not as well as it does in an SV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALAR Posted May 6, 2022 Author Share Posted May 6, 2022 Looks like my dream of a universal mag will continue to be just that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Furrly Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I've used them in my svi limited pistol, no problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALAR Posted May 7, 2022 Author Share Posted May 7, 2022 How old is it? SVI didn't always use the higher mag catch they now use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangerTrace Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Worst case, you have to file a bit of material off the top of the notch in the mag body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FALAR Posted May 8, 2022 Author Share Posted May 8, 2022 I guess I can order one to try. It isn't like the MBX mags don't "work", they just don't drop free most of the time without a wiggle or pull. When mags cost 90-130 each it would be nice to have one that works in all my 2011s though to the point where if I found one that works just as well across all of them I'll consolidate to that.

Seriously, just take a slim file and remove a tad bit of material from the top of the notch. It will work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandflea316 Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Just recieved the Atlas 170mm mag this past Saturday. My SV is a build from 2016 so not sure if that helps you. Function fine with dummy rounds. I'll try it out during next weeks night match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shred Posted May 30, 2022 Share Posted May 30, 2022 Used to be you could get different height mag catches, you might need to get different ones to set them all up the same if you really want shared mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
