Well late this afternoon was a happy day a package from GPC arrived inside was another box.... it showed that is is one of GT's revisions
On the side was this label
And the mark that means everything.....
and the loader and instruction manual in English
Was feeling like a kid on Christmas day.... until I slipped it in.... it began to bind... I took out the grip screws and grips to see where the issue was.....
I have not had a chance to get my Micrometer out of the machine shop but it appears the nose on the mag portion of the drum is just a little larger than a standard Luger mag.... I see two options... lightly squeezing the nose to draw it in slightly (risk damage) or stoning and polishing the mag well in the Luger.... the gun has been refinished I consider it a shooter so I am not going to hurt value by polishing the that area to give additional clearance....
Over all I am satisfied with the product and GT's efforts in making this a usable magazine.... I am not faulting GT on this let me make that clear.... Hope over the weekend to have it up and running for a range report..... till then......
