jdk62738super Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 Back in the mid 90's caspian made a wide body frame for 45acp .that used megar 10 round 45 mags. I buught 2 of them and had one of them welded to a 38 super mag to make a 25 round mag. Over time the base pads have cracked, so I would like to replace them. E-mailed caspian they do not have any mags or parts. E-mailed megar had no responce. Does any body know where i can get some base plates. Thanks John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLM Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 If they are MecGar base plates, you should at least be able to pick up a couple mags off eBay. Not the cheapest route but available. Oh, and calling MecGar might be a better option than e-mail. It's been a few years but I called them and they at least answered the phone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Will these work? http://www.brownells.com/aspx/NS/store/pro...?p=22512&s= Also, I think Travis T. did a little work to some Caspian mags to allow them to take Dawson base pads? That info may be around here somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Front Man Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Those EGW pads from Brownell's should work. The Dawson Precision won't fit into the Caspain mag well; meaning you need to use a longer than stock magazine. I have a Dawson Precision on my Open 170MM mag and wish I could have them on all of my mags. FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I didn't catch the fact that you are using Mecgars. I'd like to see if I could make a (longer than stock) Mecgar 38 Super mag work in my Caspian. If I could I'd change everything over just to get the convenience of DP mag pads. I need to find that TT article again! FM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hdgun Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I use the 45 cal Promag for my Caspian 40. Dawson pads work fine, they do not fit real snug but work just the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't fit tight on my 170 MM mag either but they work great! The 45 Promags must be longer than the standard 38 Super Caspian mags to fit in the well with the DP pads?
