Slug-O Do any of your other mags feed low or just that one? Are you able to push the bottom of the mag forward any while it is in the magwell? If you can move it some attach a small shim to the back of the mag where it touches the very bottom back of the magwell to push it forward slightly which will make it feed higher.

Slug-O 6 Posted November 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 16, 2009 (edited) Its the only mag of the 10 that I have that feeds low. If I grab the bottom of the mag and push it forward it moves the mags upwards and the feeding of ammo is fine. A shim would probably work...JB WELD???

shades_of_grey 1,092 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) ^ Impressive customer service, Greg! Most impressive!! Slug-O, if you want to get rid of that Surefire mag, I'd be happy to take it off your hands! Edited November 17, 2009 by post-apocalyptic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lframke 1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Put my name in the hat but, I used 2 part Epoxy on my mags when they did not fit just right. Put it on where you think the slop is, then file it down a day later VERY slowly, testing the fit after every SMALL filing. Use a marker on top of the Epoxy to see where the high and low spots are as you try a fit the mag. When you get close( the mag locks in tight but won't drop free without a tug)stop filing and insert the mag about 10 times. That will usually be enough to wear it in perfectly. This worked on my 12 round Surefire black and clear mags. If you just gotta get rid of it, send it my way. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slug-O 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 thanks guys....should I use epoxy or jb weld to make the shim? thanks, Slug-O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra 76 two 2,677 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 JB is a two part epoxy. It should work fine. Just be sure and rough up the area where you are going to apply it first. You can also use a plastic shim and "weld" it around the edges with a soldering iron. Then sand it to smooth out the fuglies.

Slug-O 6 Posted November 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I will work on the mag tonight and get back to you all. thanks, Slug-O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lframke 1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 thanks guys....should I use epoxy or jb weld to make the shim? thanks, Slug-O I used 2 part Epoxy for plastic since the mags are plastic. I have had no issues after applying it. I never tried JB Weld on plastic so I don't know how well it adheres to Plastic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gunfun 3,931 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 good luck. And thanks armored for those suggestions. I will do that stuff as I fit the rest of my mags. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slug-O 6 Posted November 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 It worked great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I did it to all my mags and fitted them all. Now there is zero play in the mags. I need to take some time and fit them later so they drop free but for now i am very happy.I will contact Carolina Shooter later to order a mag to give away for Christmas Slug-O Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted November 19, 2009 Report Share Posted November 19, 2009 cool. Ima put some JB on my Keep Khooting 5 shot to build the back up to surefire dimensions, so I can use it too. I might go through the rest of them and add width to reduce side to side play too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
