ERIC Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Dawson sells one for 38 super STI/SV 140 tubes that let you get 25 rounds in them. Has anyone tried these and what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 Pardon me for being curmudgeonly and not entirely helpful or on-topic, but... You want 25 rounds of Super? Use a freakin' 170mm magazine. I never understood this whole short-stick Open arms race. "My short stick holds 23." "Mine holds 24 and it's reloadable." If the course requires more than about 18 rounds, put in a goddam big stick and STFU! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warpspeed Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 EW- I think the reason he might want to use a 140 is that he may only have a 140. Since 170's are hard to come by since the BAN, he may not want to break FEDERAL LAW and make one from parts. But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong................

Loves2Shoot Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 There is no law against makin a high cap mag higher capacity Warpspeed. It is even legal to replace a 126mm tube with a 170mm tube. I use both the Arredondo and Dawson basepads on my 140mm so that I have extra room for thw spring. The springs tend to last longer if you don't compress them all the way. They can fit 25 but I only put 22 in them. I like the Dawsons better because they are made of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singlestack Posted June 16, 2003 Share Posted June 16, 2003 I'm with EW. I have some Dawson +2 pads but I quit using them for extra rounds on my 140's. I have discovered that if you try to stuff more than 20 rounds in a 140 mag, the entire spring/follower assembly is in the basepad. The spring/follower assy (I don't know exactly how it catches) can now hang up on the side of the mag tube creating very dangerous situation. Not only do you have a mag with 20+ loose, useless bullets, but that spring is compressed with no easy way to release it. I would suggest if you decide to remove the base pad, do it under something heavy like a coat or a blanket. I let it happen a second time before I decided I would never put more than 20 rounds in a 140 mag again. There might be a majick number that is higher than 20 for different setups, but I'm not interested in looking for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
