C&R Hi-Powers at Aim Surplus

[Threeband]

Looks like they knocked $10 off for the empty magazine well. That is decent of them. I didn't expect that.

Which reminds me... I have a package from Greg Cote en route to my secret Shrewsbury address.

So F U , Martin O' ! And the Frosh you rode in on!

My order status changed to "shipped" but I haven't gotten the email.

 

[UpperMarlboroMan]

I got my email as well...to be delivered on Wednesday.

Got my shipping notice from Aim, no date of delivery available yet.

Got my 3 compliant 10 rd mags today from Greg Cote, USPS Priority, ordered them Saturday. I'll be using him again.

Thank you JRWHITT for the Greg Cote hook-up!

Got no use for no castrated magazines.

I see you live in Laurel. The UPS Store in Shrewsbury is 64 minutes away, sez Google.

Thanks for the heads up. It might depend on who you order from, but that's a nice option. Might try it next time. I really don't see why you'd even have to call the UPS store, unless you couldn't get there in 5 days, it's just another package for pick-up to them right?

My post wasn't to shine anybody on, just let people know Greg Cote is as fast as Amazon or faster on shipping.

Ditto, they updated my tracking and supposed to be delivered Wednesday.

Which magazines do you recommend? The Mec-Gar ones?

 

[Threeband]

Yes, the Mec Gar. They make the ones supplied by the factory. I think they make the OEM mags for a bunch of manufacturers.

In about 32 hours, this thread should start to get interesting. Anticipation mounts.

Any quality difference between the phosphate and blued magazines?

Yes - Mec-Gar. They make the origanals for FN too.

Yeah ... we'll be comparing what we got to what the other guys got ... and probably we'll all be hating one guy for having gotten a gun that's much nicer than the rest of us.

I'm thinking I will get the blued ones. They seem pretty high quality based on what I see and read at your link there

Meant to add - Factory are 13rd mags - I prefer the 15rd phosphate ones

How do they accomplish a 15 round capacity but still make them fit flush?

Sounds good, you could probably use a break from the hand cannon..

By shaving about ⅛" off the bottom of the follower on 13's you can safely make them reliably hold and feed 14.

Freedom Armory in PA has some Browning brand and FNH USA mags.

And some used Parkerized mags.
