Need Help Mag Issue for west Hurley Semi Auto


Recommended Posts

Good morning all:

I sold a 27a5 pistol from the 70s (west hurley vintage ) and the buyer says the magazine falls out when he shoots it. He also said the mag catch hole was egg shaped which is common when people alter GI mags.

 

It does lock in however. But when he shoots it, the mag falls out of the gun

 

Does anyone know if a current auto ordnance mag from the Kahr company with fit correctly or

should the buyer take a GI mag and keep enlarging the hole to fit?

 

If he does enlarge it....does he need to enlarge it toward the feed lip or toward the bottom or both?

 

Thanks for any input

 

regards

It probably has a cast magazine catch. Maybe not have a good notch to grab onto the magazine. A GI or new kahr mag catch may solve the problem.

 

The altered magazine may also be touching the sides rather than the top of the mag catch. The proper hole would be an oval shape not an egg shape.
