Adam B Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Has anyone modified a Glock 33 round mag to 171mm and if so what does it entail? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Micah Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I don't have the answer, but have thought of this idea before... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I've seen it on these boards but don't know how either. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Cheely Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I didn't sleep at a holiday inn last night, but I did stay at a courtyard the past weekend... Seems simple enough. Hack off the tube, bent out the metal liner and mill a slim basepad for it. I'd be tempted to try it but I don't have a glock anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaseyJ Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I have seen a pic or two of some modified 33rd mags that have arredondo glock bases on them one was a 29 rd and the other was a 28 rd two different lengths Try looking around and I think I saw one on GunBroker or something like that too.

GlockSpeed31 Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Our very own Mad Scientist has done these. He sells a few with his full race gun that he does. Not sure if he sells any sep. or not. Drop him a line and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhgtyre Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 Taylor Freelance makes a +11 basepad for the G17 mags. That would give you 28. I know, I know; you are in search of that elusive 29th round (or 30th). I've had a few of the TF basepads and other than their blocky appearance was very pleased with them for what its worth. -ld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop him a line and ask. I got mine form S & J, it is a cut down 33 mag to fit the 170mm limit. Holds 29. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

racerba Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 The question you have to ask is the cost of a cut down 33 rounder vs. a Taylor Freelance basepad. Is it worth it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam B Posted February 6, 2007 Author Share Posted February 6, 2007 Based on what a factory mag and a Taylor basepads runs it should be a bit cheaper and I am not a big fan of those huge basepads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimWarner Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 I cut mine down and use a regular glock basepad, trimmed in the rear a bit. 30+1 with a modded follower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Keen Posted February 7, 2007 Share Posted February 7, 2007 YES! 3 + 1 sounds like shooting Limited with an XD. Please tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimWarner Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Use your imagination. and a dremel and a drill and a tap and some bolts Cut and trim til it fits, drill, tap, and bolt together. Flex hone the inside steel, be careful with the plastic. Add a 170mm spring from Taylor Freelance. (I think they use wolff? not sure though) Start gnawing at the follower until you fit 30. Oh, and graphite is your friend for reliability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
