black fxo magazine bases

[John Sabato]

[quote] G.W. Gill I am going to put Saxman's product on my resource list. I have an old FXO mag that was crunched. The base was cracked cleanly, then I glued it and put it on an E German mag (2/1001). The mag does not seat deaply enough to catch or function, however , it is perfect for display. I believe I glued correctly. Has anyone else experienced this? I was wondering if the E German extruded mags were slightly off, or if the repairman (Me) was off.
Lugerdoc Saxman (your last name isn't Clinton, is it?), Thanks for the Jetmagic tip. To get your FXO type mag to lock into a particular luger, you may have to open up the locking notch on the side of the tube. Tom H.

G.W. Gill, If the mag will function if held in place with your hand during the firing cycle, then I would also recommend opening the mag latch hole very slowly with a small file until the latch works. If it does not function properly when held in place then I think the problem may be the replacement mag bottom may fit too high causing the notch hole to be too low... The only cures for that problem would be a better fit on the mag bottom, or just use the mag with a different Luger where the fit is better...
