Due to recent political activities, I have been re-evaluating *cough* my magazine situation, as I'm sure some of you have. So now I have some questions about Glock mag springs:
The springs are sold in "10 coil" for G17's (17 rounds), and "9 coil" for every thing less than 17 rounds. I have some G19 (15 round) mags that I want to re-spring...but the thing is, most of them have the +2 base plate installed, bringing them to 17 rounds. I never changed to a "10 coil" spring when I originally installed the base plates and they seem to be working fine.
Questions are:
Should I go with the "10 coil" replacement springs since the mags are now 17 rounders?
Does any one know of any reason why a "10 coil" (G 17) spring won't work in G19 mag with a +2 base plate?
EDIT: Just realized that two of my mags do not have a hole in the base plate...you know, the one you have to punch in order to disassemble...WTF? One is an actual Glock brand with original base plate. The other Is a Glock brand mag with an aftermarket "2PLUS2" base plate.
How am I supposed to take these things apart?

I run 33 round clips in my glocks at most times I keep a couple of the 17 round clips that came with them as back ups. I would recomend you do the SAME thing! I dont know if you if you know this or not but beta c makes a 100 round clips for the glocks maybe you should look into them! Stay Frosty!

unless your glock runs on a m1 feed system please refer to the magazines by their correct name [img]http://www.arrse.co.uk/at
that is all

you've got it all wrong mtn. clip is one syllable, magazine is three syllables. real operators like gecko don't have time for anything that's not high-speed, low-drag, gtg.

I'm so fucking slow I tried to read it.

To take them apart you just squeeze the sides of the magazine they said.
So you're got 9 coil springs that pick up the last two? If I had known they would I'd have not used 10 coil and actually have been able to get he last two into the magazine!

Shit....It worked! Thanks. Just had to squeeze the piss out if it.
So you got 9 coil springs that pick up the last two?...
Yup. They've always worked... no problems.

OR is it:

I've always had to use a clamp to get the base plates off, you really got to squeeze the shit out of 'em!

Squeezing shit outta the clips. Frosty TG, totally frosty. ;D

Hey y'all, I'm in the process of refurbishing some all-metal (not for a glock), extra-hi capacity pistol mags.
I've had these 4 mags put up since the early '90's and sorta forgot about them. They are no-name-brand (most likely foreign) 'el cheapos' that I bought at a gun show. The springs are very strong, and the feed lips look fine (no signs of wear or over compression)....but they had some intermittent feed problems. When it wouldn't feed, I would remove the mag to look at it and see that the rounds were recessed down into the mag...a failure to push up the rounds. As I said, the springs are very strong. So I diagnosed the problem as either being faulty followers OR being too much friction coming from the inside of the mag walls (for whatever reason).
When I recently found them (again), I disassembled them and discovered that the inside mag walls were indeed very rough and unfinished...and even a little rusted. So that's when I came up with a way to "polish" the mags inside and out (while I was at it).
NOTE: I haven't had a chance to take them to the range yet, BUT when I compared loading and unloading the two mags I have polished with the two that I have not polished, there is a HUGE difference. The polished ones load and unload smooth as glass.
If any of you have any metal mags that are like this, I can do a step by write up of exactly what I did. If you're interested, just let me know. This process is more than just removing the rust, it also polishes the texture if the metal.

I'm always looking for good info like this, already have it if it's the paint stick and lapping compound method though.
