GT Hyper-Magazine!!!

I recently had a 70's Mauser magazine coated with NP3, and then G.T. put one of his, you gotta see it to believe, aluminum bases and super springs into this like new Hyper-Magazine. Here are the results below. Sort of a before and after shot. The NP3 is responsible for the antique pewter like look of the magazine body, but it sure is slick in operation. A range report will come soon...

Umm... excuse my lack of brainpower, NP3? What's that, teflon coat or some such?

Robar applies a matrix coating of nickel-phosphate and teflon. The nickel provides wear resistance, and the teflon, of course, reduces friction. I read that 60% of the springs energy was used to overcome friction in a Luger magazine due to the angle feed. I figured reducing friction had to help the magazine work better. I have one magazine with a black teflon coating that does indeed work better, than one not coated. Disadvantage, is that the black teflon shows every scratch brilliantly! I hope this one functions as good or better...

G.T.'s aluminum magazine bases are a wonder to behold! I am sure you have all seen those commercials about a place called "perfect"... well that is where these mag bottoms come from!
