Stainless Steel Stoeger Magazines

I finally have time to post a little bit on this topic. I can insert an old style magazine in both of my late model stainless guns that take a flat sided magazine. However, the vintage mags will not lock into place and are very loose. The new magazines will not go into a vintage gun at all.

I too would like to know why the change was made. Maybe if Rick sees Mr. Romo at a show in Texas, he can ask and also extend an invitation to join our happy little forum. I have invited him to join when I have contacted him via e-mail. At one point, he was working with somebody to write a book on his stainless steel adventures but the .45 project has been taking all of his time. A book would be great!

My six inch stainless works perfectly with S&B ammo. I have not measured the OAL of these Vs other brands but have had feeding problems with both Remington and Winchester ammo. Since I can buy S&B quite cheaply at shows, I have just been using it.

For .30 ammo, when I met Dwight, Fiochi would not work and some commercial with a soft round nose did not work either. I have since found a person who loads a round that will work. The box says it is 1300fps and 90gr.
