Bisley45 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Well, murphys law applies. I had to bumb SA mags from a friend of a friend to try my new toy and the afternoon I get the catch converted to accept the FA mags like my other WH; the SA mags shipped seperate from the gun show up. I remember something on the old boards about welding up the holes and someone talking about drifting the back plate of the mag down and then crimping it. Was hoping someone had tried both and could tell me which would be easyer, and or if my best bet is selling the damn things to someone with a SA and picking up unmodifed examples. Anyone have any thoughts? BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
full auto 45 Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 talk to the main man, PK. He can reweld and then drill new holes for FA catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TAB Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Yes PK did two of mine that had been opened up for the SA and I've had no problem with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Posted January 8, 2004 Report Share Posted January 8, 2004 If you do it yourself you can slide a piece of square brass stock down into the mag so that it fits flush to the inside of the mag catch hole. Then you can add weld to the mag hole to close it up. Then file the excess weld off and your mag will fit a FA gun. The weld won't stick to the brass so you don"t have to try to clean up the inside of the mag. I fixed mine that way and it works just fine.
