MAC-10 .45

[Ericoak]

No flame but I'd rather buy from a dealer and spend few extra bucks than to send thousands of dollars to an individual I don't know. Plus you don't have to pay for two transfers. I've been burned before for much less than this gun costs and it hurts.

I just meant if you are going to charge top dollar you better provide top dollar customer service.

I understand. It's all good.

Seems like a really nice choice.... the wait it terrible!

Why do some MAC-10s take modified mags and others do not?

 

[timkel]

The original Ingram m10. 45 take a slightly modified m3 mag. There is an aftermarket mag catch that will allow using unmodified m3 Mags. I have read good results with this setup
But I prefer to use the original mag catch with the modified mags

 

[MDG]

Where do you buy your modified mags?

Where do you buy your modified mags?

I buy standard Mags and modify them myself. Use a dremel type tool. 10 minute job per mag

 

[Ericoak]

Why would you ever want to use modified mags if you have the option of using the unmodified?

Because that's the way God intended. The mag sits a bit higher up and it is reliable for me.

I'm waiting on the transfer of my MAC-10 .45. I didn't know there was such a thing as a modified mag. I have a M11/9 so this modified mag thing is new to me. I don't even know if my gun needs modified mags or not.

No that is the way Ingram wanted them so they could sell modified magazines and make $ instead of people buying their own surplus grease gun magazines.

no they do not, if you use a modified mag catch

I always wondered why... 1/8th of an inch makes money

Jersey Arms guns use unmodified magazines.

 

[timkel]

Using the unmodified mag changes the geometry of the cartridge feeding cycle. If it works for you that's great. I stay with the oroginal design.

Vegas,

Pardon my ignorance (at least I'm man enough to admit it) but what exactly does "double stamp" mean?

MDG

It means your collection is just starting.
