Buck Waddell Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 I recieved a GI mag catch with the semi auto I just purchased. Will replacing the SA mag catch with the GI one enable me to use unmodified mags with my gun? Thanks, Buck Waddell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcar Posted June 5, 2006 Report Share Posted June 5, 2006 Hi Buck and welcome, The short answer is no but don't get discouraged! The mag catch is the same unless it has been modified. The size diference is in the receiver for semi autos, so the mag catch needs to have a tenth of an inch removed to make hole alignment right. If you search back through this forum, and expand the search beyond 30 days you will find the answer to almost any tech question you may have. I believe there are pictures posted of the very mod you are interested in in detail. I also think Damon sells a mag catch already modified on his Tommygunner site....not sure? Good luck with the mod you won't regret it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
