CMV Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 While I have a set of Howards mags sold through SC, I decided to buy SV tubes and Bolen springs, followers and base pads. I have not even assembled all of them into mags, but the two I have work, just not nearly as smoothly as my HSMITH mags. So, my question is: Does anyone have a suggestion as to who to contact about tuning my new mags or should I just store them until Howard goes back to tuning? Thanks, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I have a tube here waiting to go back to Shooters Connection for approval. It holds 21 and is 20 reloadable. It is polished inside and out to a high luster. I still have to put the witness holes in it, which I'll probably do tomorrow, and then the etching. I am going to mark it at 10, 15, and 20 rounds and then I'll etch it. I plan to send some to Howard for his approval also. Critical dimensions are confirmed or corrected in the tube body including the feed lips, everything is deburred, the ribs are shown some attention, then everything is polished. First with 500 grit, then 1500. Here's a few pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kgunz11 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 (edited) It's hard to appreciate the finish/polish on the mag and base pad, the camera doesn't capture just how bright it is. Edited April 13, 2009 by kgunz11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CMV Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Your mag looks awesome. I'm specifically looking for someone with knowledge and skill at tuning SVI tubes to work reliably with Bolen innards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
