Problem with Erma KGP magazines

Ponyman · 04-06-2006, 05:34 PM

I've purchased several KGP magazines on the internet - for both the -68 and -69 models. Some of them refuse to insert fully into the pistol. A micrometer shows that they're several mills larger than the ones that came in the guns, and I've tried filing and polishing those areas. But I'm not making much progress.

In high school metal shop, we used a blue dye to make scribings on sheet metal easier to see. I think the same stuff, applied to the magazine, would show me where the zero-clearance is. But I have no idea what it's called, or where to buy it. Any help?????
