The only bad thing I can say about the Mec-Gar, is that the spring is weaker than any of the other magazines I have. I've noticed it fails to activate the hold open device most of the time on my byf42. I'm thinking that one of those Wolfe springs may improve things a lot...<hr /></blockquote>Johny:

My Mec-Gar magazines are new, and seem to have very stiff springs.

I was quite happy to findout that they seem to work better (with the shorter stuff anyway) through both my 1917 DWM and my byf 41.

For a spring replacement, contact Thor, as he has just replaced a weak spring I had in my original 1917 magazine. After 87 years, things do wear out you know.
