Hello to all, Although I've been laid up..I've been able to crank out a few MEC-GAR mags with the G.T. Specialties upgrades for a few of our forum members.. As far as I know, they have been well received and are doing fine for our shooter crowd as a quality replacement range mag for P.08's... I can tune the mag somewhat by replacing springs of different weights, but my standard offering is made to mimic the original, (as when new) as close as possible.. To do this, I address some of the points on the issue MEC-GAR, that are a bit of a compromise in order to make the mag affordable... They are, follower spring, follower spring cap or guide, mag bottom and retaining pins... I change all that stuff!!! ....

I had two mecgar mags refitted by GT, he put in wood bottoms and replaced the springs to work with my 1971 Mauser Parabellum because the regular springs caused jams. He also gave me an additional mag for the back and forth with the two magazines
![]() I will be ordering another one soon to keep it loaded in the house just to have my pistol ready as a sidearm next to my shotgun. I don't have a modern pistol but I think it would be good to have a backup gun in case the shotgun fails. I don't want to keep my regular mags loaded because I'm afraid that will weaken the spring over time, but I think I can afford to order a mag from GT every 6 months or so ![]() ![]() I include some pics of the magazines GT made. You can't see it here but they have a tiny GT stamp on it ![]() ![]() |
