K2 45 Failure to Feed problem
« on: June 29, 2017, 10:25:52 PM »
I?ve got roughly a thousand rounds through my K2 and I am starting to get failure to feed from some of my factory mags.   The thing is the gun and mags aren?t even a year old yet.   Is it the mags, do I need to just junk them or does anyone make replacement followers fo them?

You may need to install newer/heavier Magazine Springs.  I run Wolff +10% Magazine Springs in my .45 Witnesses.
I would install +10% Wolff ParaOrdnance P14 Magazine Springs in your K2-45 Magazines.

Also, remove and inspect your Extractor's Blade for any bending.  While you're at it give the Slide Extractor Channel a good clean.

Definitely get the +10% mag spring. I needed to get one for one of my factory mags just to get it to consistently go into slidelock on empty. I think you can find a 3-pack for a decent price if you look around.

I just ordered a three pack for the P14 from evial bay for 20.99.   Is that a good price or not?

IF that also includes shipping, the price is not bad.  Price without shipping direct from Wolff is $17.29.

How many of you used the Wolff P14 mag springs in there SAR K2 mags?   I got my springs today in the mail.    I set in to rebuild my K2 mags.   I did one, boy what a job to get it to work.   Then after I got it back together and started to reload it.   only 13 rounds ant 14.   I disassembled this mag and put my old spring back in.

Does Wolff make springs for the K2?

 I notice that the SAR K2 mag springs collapse into itself, there tapered.   The Wolff springs are strait, so they don?t collapse as for.

It's not unusual with a new mag to be hard or impossible to squeeze the last round in.  Typically after 20 or so cycles they'll loosen up to where you can get the specified number loaded. This is a general phenomenon, not specific to the P-14 mags (which I don't have)

I call Met-Gar about springs for the K2 45 mags.   They didn?t even want to talk.    They said they rear made in Italy by met-gar of Italy.   They said to contact Met-Gar in Italy.    Then I called Wolff Springs to see what they had.   he hasn?t even heard of the SAR K2-45.   He didn?t want to talk.
