GLOCKshooter 1 Posted February 25, 2009 Report Share Posted February 25, 2009 ... I was diagnosed with cancer years ago. All OK ... I take that to mean your cancer is in remission or gone. If that is the case, Praise the LORD! All this other stuff aside, that is fantastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

emptythemag 1 Posted March 2, 2009 Report Share Posted March 2, 2009 Very nice magwells...Seems like they really improve quick reloading of the shotgun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted March 12, 2009 Report Share Posted March 12, 2009 (edited) Cobra's extended mag release Anyone know where I can get a mag release extension? I want the type that you can hit with your trigger finger with your hand still on the grip. **EDIT** Sorry, I answered a question from page 3, which I believe got answered on page 4 Edited March 12, 2009 by Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Delta 5.56 0 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Jack, what size of cheek riser do you have on that CTR? I have been looking high and low for a 3/4 sized one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To my knowledge, it is the only one available for the CTR (According to the rep at Magpul). It raises the cheek weld about 3/4 inch. Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcpny 3 Posted March 13, 2009 Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) Are all the clearance magwells sold? If so, are the new ones going to be available soon? Edited March 13, 2009 by mcpny Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted March 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2009 Are all the clearance magwells sold? If so, are the new ones going to be available soon? When the CNC shop ran the original batch they made an extra 20 magwells over what I ordered. I am going to go pick them up next week and get them back out there. That magwell works pretty damn good. It works great with the Surefires also, just have to put a shim on the back of the magazine. I am not sure about the new magwell yet. I have to test it out on several Shotguns since they are all different and I want to be 100% sure it is going to be reliable. Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm glad to hear they work with the Surefires. I just got my MD-20 drum a week ago though. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Prophet 1 Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 (edited) To my knowledge, the Saiga-12 has not been friendly towards the practice of having having a bunch of magazines and a bunch of different rifles, and being able to grab any mag and any weapon and have a reliable mating of the two. Mags often had to be fitted to individual weapons. Does the magwell make the Saiga-12 more flexible to this mix & match practice? -P.

BronCobraJet 80 Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 Jack, do you have any info on the safety selectors that were on your shotguns? Are you planing to sell a kit or anything? I really like the design, very clean and compact! Please try and make these available also. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xtremerange 0 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 I ordered My AGP compatable, in the white, ones today. Have to order the mag release I want from CSS. No problem there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmax4x4 68 Posted April 12, 2009 Report Share Posted April 12, 2009 I need install directions for mine. Just don't know were to space it on the gun or hole placement. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted April 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have eight (8) of the AGP Magwells left (in the "White"). When these are gone, they are gone!! I picked up the very last of them at the CNC Production Shop. If you use AGP magazines exclusively and you want a magwell, this is an outstanding magwell.

6500rpm 670 Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Jack, can you comment on how the Surefire magwell's are coming along or any further information dealing with fitting Promag's to the AGP style magwell? Should these be true straight insert, or do I need to tip the front just "slightly" for proper fitting. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the prototype finished, just trying to get the prints/specs compeleted and the first CNC Prototype from the production shop. They do not work on my time frame. They will be a straight insert, just like an AR Mag. Regards, Jack Travers JT Engineering 561-317-9096 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonblack 9 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 Can you tell us more about your safety selector mod? Also, is that the new Hogue AK grip or the Hogue AR grip? Thanks in advance jonblack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 When I do a full build, I weld up the old selector lever holes on both sides of the receiver. Mill a slot on the right side of the receiver for the sliding safety along with four detents, two visual indicators (red/white) and two ball mill detents for a positive lock in both fire and safe positions. The safety block inside the receiver locks the trigger leg in the safe position the same as the old selector/safety lever. Just a much different design. The Hogue grip is from the AR15.

Nailbomb 10,221 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 I am probably going to regret doing this right now, but here is a picture of the prototype I like the added funnel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
corbin 621 Posted April 16, 2009 Report Share Posted April 16, 2009 +1 for the added funnel/flare. I'm extremely tempted to get a magwell, but having spent money on an MD-20 (and about to get another one), I'm looking at either having to buy another Saiga or go without. I imagine a magwell for a drum would be pretty short. Sigh..... It looks great though. Corbin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wash 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm buying a Saiga 12 and I've decided I want to get five 8 round magazines for it. I also want to get a mag well but I'm in a slightly unusual situation, I live in California so I will be using a bullet button style magazine lock. The bullet button slows you down removing a magazine but it doesn't slow you down putting one in, a mag well will still be a good feature to have. Should I buy a mag well and AGP mags or wait for the Surefire version? Would either mag well accept the 5 round magazine that comes with the shotgun? I like the idea of the AGP because I think it has metal feed lips, but if they are being abandoned for surefire (by magwell manufacturers any way), which is the right decision? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rockmup 12 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) Jack, I got them in and installed one. Worked like a dream. Only modified one mag to get a feel for it. Still has a little roc/loc feel to it, I need to trim the front lug just a little more. I used 6/32 button heads to mount it. Trying out a few different tappets and 200 rnds WWB for the day not one complaint Edited April 22, 2009 by rockmup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdtravers 637 Posted April 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 Looks great!! Glad to hear everyone has been happy with the AGP Magwell. They are pretty easy to instal and they work!! Take care, Jack Travers JT Engineering 561-317-9096 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zaxon_182 44 Posted May 2, 2009 Report Share Posted May 2, 2009 Well, I just got my magwell today and I can't wait to put it on. She is a beauty, great product. I just have to get home (back to AK on the 10th) to put it on since I don't have a tap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Should these be true straight insert, or do I need to tip the front just "slightly" for proper fitting. SUREFIRE MAGWELL CNC PRODUCTION PROTOTYPE IS DONE!!! We finalized the first magwell off the production run on Friday evening. I will test it over the weekend and do the final adjustments on Monday and start the procuction run. Will be ready for delivery within the next two weeks. That gives me a week to have them anodized. Price is pending per unit cycle times/setup cost, which I will know by mid next week. These are flared magwells and very easy to install and modify the magazines to. I do not have the camera here in Florida, will have pictures out by Monday. Looks really good, straight insert, very tight and the magazine will still drop free. Enclosed is a picture of the initial pieced together prototype, which the new magwell is based on. The production magazine has all radiused corners and flare. Jack Travers JT Engineering 561 317-9096 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
