Harmon Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 why cant i get but two more rounds in my magazines than the 140s? i think they should hold 23/24 rounds, but i may be mistaken Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I just don't know any more. (I've been shooting Production for too long now.) The older style FML mags probably went to 23 +1....perhaps one more with an non-FML. The Novak Handgunner Outlet +1 follower likely helped.

Chris Keen Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 What caliber, and what kind of base pads are you running ? I used to use Taylor Freelances in an Open G-24 and I could get 23 + 1 reliably. Never pushed it to 24. Be sure and de-burr the inside of all your mags to ensure the followers arent sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uscbigdawg Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I would look at the big sticks from SJC. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Q Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 The SJC 170mm hold 29. They take a 31 factory, cut it down a bit and add on an Arredondo base pad. I have made a few myself this way. If you add an Arredondo base pad to a 17 round mag it should hold 23. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have 4 Taylor big-sticks.....40 cal functions perfect with 24+1, 9mm goes 28+1 I did find that the capacity was down by 1 with brand-new springs.

Flexmoney Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 glock FML tubes marked LEO There is more than one versin, I believe. Tapered top, or ledge at the top? Which follower? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 im up to 23 rounds now, brand new tube with a follower marked "8" reloadable at 23.. a damn sight better than a non reloadable 22 rounder...or worst yet. only 20 rounds with one tube/follower combo. harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jman Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Mine fails to feed after a round or two....still. Maybe the reloads and not the mag? Got a couple brand new tubes and current followers to try. I'll sacrifice a round of capacity for one that runs. Jim M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted June 7, 2008 Author Share Posted June 7, 2008 mine runs noticeably smoother with lighter bullets. seems there is less weight to push up... i would like to get 24+1 but cant see it happening Harmon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmon Posted August 18, 2008 Author Share Posted August 18, 2008 reduction in overall length to 1.120 inches and i am at 24+1 reloadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
