OUR SUPPLIER HAS GONE TO EXTENSIVE LENGTHS TO DEVELOP A SUPERIOR 1911 .45 MAGAZINE!!
We are very pleased with these *NEW* magazines.
These are the results of over a year of product development.
Listed here are the quality features of this *NEW* magazine:
- Produced on a computer controlled high speed link press.
This provides a stable platform for progressive dies and uniformity.
Body tooling has 6 stages and follower tooling has 16 stages.
This assures an accurate and repeatable manufacturing process with less metal stress, when fewer, less radical bends are made.
- Latest technology with parallel feed lip design for proper timed release of cartridge.
Special for semi wad cutters, although per technical feedback semi wad cutters may require additional tuning.
- Welding is done on a Yasakawa computer controlled robotic arm argon welder.
Unlike some .45 magazines you can't see the seam weld on the back.
- In house quality control gauges to national standard are used for checking every stage of the production.
- QC inspection involves a 2/5D video measuring machine enabling checking of every specification and keeps the record in memory.
- Springs are tested to 20,000 cycles.
- Dimple designed as a mag catch override for easier mag insertion.
- Latest rounded follower design.
- Magazines are processed in a hot bath of sodium hydroxide and nitrites at 141º centigrade - This converts the surface to "magnetite".
- All process done under specification of MIL-DTL-13924, ASTM-D769 and ISO-11408.
- The mag body is carburized (case hardened) by nitriding (heat treated in a nitrogen atmosphere).
This retains a tough core (ductility, flexibility, springiness and resistance to stress fractures) while producing a 46-48 HRC surface hardiness, creating scuff resistance, fatigue and corrosion resistance.
Most important, it eliminates any chance for deformation of the front of the mag from cartridge inertia.
- For use in all Gov't, Commercial 1911 pistols 1911, 1911A1 - Gov't Series 70, Series 80, commander, Essex, Rock Island, etc. - Also the many, many, many aftermarket 1911's.
These magazines are *NEW* from the factory, clean/dry, they may require the application of a few drops of your favorite gun oil where the follower meets the back/inside of the magazine body.
This is half the price of most decent quality .45 magazines!
