ww2imposter 2 Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Brought my 1919 home back last August. I never bothered to remove the 3in magnum magazine from the plastic bag till today. A side by side comparison of the 2 3/4 mag and the 3in mag show no difference in the two at all. Just the marking on the base plate. One is marked 2 3/4, the other 3in. Are the two interchangeable?

Flatland Shooter 22 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 The new style 5 rd magazines have the base pad unmarked for shell size but a tag on the plastic bag they come in say they are for both 2-3/4" and 3" shells. The feed lips on the new mag are about 3/16" longer than those in the earlier 3" only magazine. Also the follower on the new magazines is flat where the followers in the older magazines were concave allowing the shell to center on the follower. Though very minor detail, the crest on the new magazines is also different. Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
