So I bought a Colt conversion kit. Does anybody make a magazine that fits?
Comments
I have a Marvel conversion kit and two Colt mags. Pricy for sure
then the military got involved and had a SERVICE MODEL ACE conversion kits as well as Whole pistols then the post WW II conversion kits and then a remake Complete Pistol also called an ACE these all had floating chambers some fixed sights and some adjustable sights Then came the ACE II for series 80 pistols allong with that many aftermarket Conversions some that used Colt Type magazines and others like THE DAY 30 X that had an insert that fit INSIDE any standard 45ACP colt Magazine The Kart that had their magazines and tha marval that would work with colt magazines but with the follower Modified to NOT activate the slide stop. The PRE WAR original two tone Magazine
Can bring $200.00 + in like new condition conversion kits can run $25.00 - $75.00 with pinned bottom but the ACE II is different again. What vintage is your conversion kit.?
EDIT OK I cant go to the bay tonight but $50.00 each should allow you to by a boat load that will work. Note floating chamber should be the easiest to get to function 100% if you keep the floating chamber Clean and use good quality Ammo COPPER WASH will make for more rounds between cleaning of floating chamber. GSG make a high quality mag for their units but have not tried them on Colt unit
EDIT II.not a bad unit to buy adjustable sights a+ You should be able to use just about any modern Magazine not the high price PRE WW II ACE but all you need is the common ones some have Pinned bases others have Removable base so easy to take apart to clean[^] Semi auto Rimfire pistols get dirty cheaper the ammo quicker they get dirty being able to remove magazine base is a help . also the floating chamberwill build up HARD carbon / lead that was vaporised in shooting Some of the ones like the one you have shoot fairly well but Most are PLINKING size groups Not master class target pistol size groups . only . DAY KART MARVAL and handful of others will work for NRA match pistols beyond the SHARPSHOOTER class. Best trainer for learning to shoot a 1911 type pistol and used to be cheap to shoot but rimfire ammo now pricey[:(]
Colt brand 22 conversion kit. Floating chamber. Pre series 80. Adjustable sight (Accro?) Looks like it takes the same magazine as an Ace.
Auction #291435205338 on the Bay. I would appreciate your comments.
I have a nickel series 70 with a damaged slide. This should work out well.
