Slight Mod 14 Rnd. mag. base
« on: May 16, 2018, 06:45:28 PM »


Do the sharp corners of the 14 round mag base plate bother anyone but me?

Here is what 5 minutes with a couple of files, duct tape and scuff pad looks like...Problem solved.

You are not alone.  Already done mine and will be doing a little more.

Glad to hear someone else has an issue with those nasty corners...that don't really need to be there. I did not come close to touching the metal of the mag body in my filing of the corners. I see no valid reason for the current design. Guess it's been that way since the introduction of the  RAMI though...2004 if I recall.

Perhaps when CZ's mold for those parts finally wears out they will make a similar modification to the base. I know that it is easier to add material to a part that is injection molded vs taking it away...May as well wait till they need to replace their molds, but I guess if no one is complaining... I mean over 100 views of my post before someone cared to respond in a like minded post. Though from reading this forum for awhile that seems to be par for the course...far more "lurkers" than posters it appears.

Also want to make a similar mod to my Kadet mags but haven't done so yet. Seems a bit more "sacrilegious" to do that to the Kadet..

Happy modding !

The sharp edges of the 14 round mag base are very uncomfortable. After a trip to the range I pulled out the dremel and 1200 grit sandpaper to round off the corners.

ha, I've never noticed that until y'all pointed it out.  guess it won't hurt to file it down, tho.
