why don't you just buy higher cap mags outright? i got mecgar mags in 10 & 15 for s&w 9mm.

cuz im in California. Nothing over 10rds is legal in Cali. Looking at converting the 10 rounders when I leave California.

When you LEAVE California, what's stopping you from buying new mags?

I am thinking maybe the guy thinks since he already paid good $$, why not "fix" them when he is free of CA rules.

To the OP, some mags are just blocked to hold a smaller capacity, however many are physically modified so that no one can alter them. Without seeing the mags, I can't advise you.

You have two options, sell them in CA or use them for IDPA.

Sorry for not explaining fully. Mike C you are correct. Just looking at possibility of "fixing mags".

well ive never seen ext kits for small pistol mags, only 5.7's and rifles.

If there is a block in the mag then take it out and buy new springs.

can you manufacture 20+ rd mags??

usually there is either a block, or the follower is extra long to cut the capacity. my stock arsenal 5 round AK mag was like this...all i did was cut down the follower and the follower stop, remove 2 coils off of the spring and tada...10 round mag k-var sells a 10 dollar kit to do this, but i figured it was cheaper to just go at it myself...your mags are most likely the same way...so some work to the follower and spring should be all that is needed.


an easy way to tell is just to take the mag apart and look at the follower.
