Graham Smith Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 I run TF's in all my mags, but I don't change them out. I probably should have been more specific. I'm looking at +0 extension options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocHolliday1 Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 How about the Dawson baseplates? http://www.dawsonprecision.com/ProductDetail.jsp?LISTID=8000125B-1318948789 I don't have them, but they should still fit in the box so they should be legal for production and L10.

Graham Smith Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 How about the Dawson baseplates? I had forgotten about them. They are 3x the cost of the Magpuls but do add some weight at a lower cost than the TF brass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornetx40 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Time to revisit this topic. The least expensive solution I can see are the Magpul Speedplates at about $5 each. Anyone have a better solution? Yes and cheap, Go to McMaster and Carr buy a 12' x 12" sheet of 1/2" thck Rubber cut it oversized for the base pad and glue it on with barge cement. It is a contact cement that shoemakers use. It is an excellent cement. Then use a belt sander to carefully grind off the excess rubber that is wider than the basepad. It won't come off while being used but you can always rip them off if need be. clean them off and reglue. If you don't extend the bases then you should remove the magwell. If not you eventually will be dropping mags after one shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I had to buy some now, I'd go with these, checking that they fit the box -- assuming that you want to be able to use the mags in Production..... Weight may be an issue in PD, depending on how your gun is set up.... And you could probably get by with four -- assuming that at MR you have enough time to seat a flush fitting mag properly....
