New! Black metal magazine base kit for 9mm/.40S&W

[wyntrout]

I just ran across this looking for the "KITS" that include the base and the lock plate for a few dollars less than the cost of each part.

It IS a blackened metal base and I can't tell if they include a plastic lock... or a metal lock plate. In the photo it could be plastic. It's not cheap... $21.95 for the "kit".

Magazine Base Kit, (Black)

The Kahr magazine base kit is blackened using an ultra hard and super thin coating. Kit includes a black metal base and the base lock. Fits all Kahr 9mm and .40 S&W magazines.

Qty: $21.95


Has anyone tried this... 9mm or .40??

You might need an O-ring... 3/32" thick and 3/4" inner diameter to stop pinching, as I did with my 6-round P40 mags using the metal bases.

Nice find, Wynn!

Looks like the metal locking plate to me . . . Would love to have a couple, but, D@mn! at that cost I will have to wait until we win a large lottery.

We are going to win a lottery, aren't we? . . . Yeah, sure, kid. :rolleyes:

Seems likely that one could get the whole mag tube, base, and locking plate coated professionally for close to that cost. Haven't looked seriously . . . for the same reason mentioned above. :o

[jocko]

agree, way way to much, I got my entire mags done for less than that.

by the way I was in Gander Mt today just snooping and they had a used PM45 in teh case,1 mag, no box $729, But that included a free protcology exam every month for one year by Susie.

My 1st. appoihtment is Novemeber 13th:banplease:

If it were .45 black metal bases, I would jump on a couple, but I already have 9mm/.40S&W metal bases for the ones in my pistols for CC.

Yeah,me too, if they would fit the mags on the 3rd gen S&W 45's. I hate those plastic bumpers and have rid myself of them except the CW45 and the all metal S&W's.

I am assuming that it is their normal metal one that has been blackened. The photo is terrible! You can't see any detail.

I colored mine with a permanent black magic marker. :)

I had a P380 mag that I ruined the feed lips on, so I tried using one of the Black Gun Finish pens for aluminum and stainless... kept going over it and it got really mottled.:rolleyes:

Actually, my carry mags are already black, sort of. I used the Caswell Plating blackening gel. The results are fairly nice but need to be touched up every four or five months.
