Julien Boit Posted July 15, 2009 Author Share Posted July 15, 2009 Hi all, Here I am again with the question about Bolen springs. I received my new blasters, SV with SS grips and the Rescomp and brasilian mags doesn't fit in the pistol. They are too wide in the upper part. So.........If the new bolen international springs are out soon, I would give it a try to have 19 rounders inside SV tubes. Anything new ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm using Bolen std springs and followers on an SV tube and I'm already getting 18. Is Bolen making new springs for those that shoot IPSC? That would be great!

Julien Boit Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 I worked a bit on the SVI frames and they now take the Brazilian mags. I also modified a 138mm Rescomp tube to get a 19 rounders. I have to test it live, but the 19 rounds fits ok, the mag is reloadable, the spring is a wolff and a SV follower recut. I got to try it with bolen guts.

Dalmas Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 19 is possible with only SVI original parts, Red follower, +2Base pad and ISMI springs. I have one tube that is 19 reloadable and 4 that are 19 start. I tune the follower and spring but have not done anything with the mags. I'm certain that with the new low mounted sights and tuned tubes I'm going to get 20 in a box legal mag, only using SVI parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasonub Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 what if you just cut the 11 coils? or does the 10 coils have a new design? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 what if you just cut the 11 coils? or does the 10 coils have a new design? I just tried this. And into different SV tubes, it lowered the capacity by one round. What were previously easy 18 rounders became hard 17 rounders...... The last coil which is larger than the others must help to stack properly the spring inside the tube. I put back the uncut spring and it was back to 18 rounds. So far, for me, it's a no go.

olp73 Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 Just to be sure……… Is anyone getting more than 18 rounds in an IPSC BOX LEGAL SVI mag using bolen springs and followers? I got 18 today none reloadable using SVI red follower, SVI mag body and a local base pad that is very similar to Dawsons international base pad. The spring I am not sure of, but it has a square spring shoe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I resolve this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Hello: If you getting a round under the follower then the mag is too wide. I don't know what the Rescomp tubes look like but if they are full width at the bottom that is your problem. You may have to crimp the tube at the bottom so the follower does not roll over. Hope this helps. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Boit Posted October 14, 2009 Author Share Posted October 14, 2009 Does your follower still have the pad that activates the slide stop ? I trimmed it on one follower and the results was the follower to twist and have a cartridge stuck between the follower and the mag body (in a Rescomp tube). I put another one, unmodified, and the problem goes away. BTW, is there any way to contact Bolen to have some news about those famous 10 coils springs ?
