Ruger MKIII 22/45 mag extended base pad - The Firearms Forum

TechTeach · 04-12-2009, 05:05 PM

Just installed my new MKIII 22/45 mag extended base pad. Had a hard time getting the mag seated. The extended base pad makes it easy.

I have a silly question. Why extend the base pad?

If you can create a problem, you can sell the fix.......
Magazines are meant to be slammed home, not inserted.
The Ruger 22/45 magazine is 1/8" longer than the frame, used right it has more than enough seating surface to engage.

I guess post number two will deal with how the grips need to be improved????

Selling is sometimes spam, though not cooked.

I agree with you the mags are meant to be slammed not inserted even though they are about an 1/8" longer doesn't mean they will be seated every time. Thats why I extended the base pad for a solid slam.

Very nice, did u buy those? If so were did you get them if you don't mind me asking? I've put many rounds through my 22/45 and you have to make sure that the mag is engaged everytime and sometimes thats a pain. I have three mags and the extended bases would be great.

Hi, Where did you get the extended base pads for the 22/45?

I realize this is an old post but the OP never responded where he got these extended mag base pads. Anyone else know?

Thanks much!

Edit: Taking a guess: Dominic Notaro? And, if so, anyone else out there making these as well?

I'm guessing Dominic as well. I have many of these, but I've never had the urge to 'slam' my mags home. They just make it a tad easier to seat them. Then again, I've spent hours cleaning them up to get them slicker than snot.

Ya need his extended base pads when ya use his custom grips!

The new bumpers are a little longer than these...

Here is the latest batch...
