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

[wyntrout]

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

Now that's cool, sir! Admittedly, with the volume of business you do, they should be happy to provide some free service.

By the way . . . how well does DuraCoat hold up on your magazines, anyway?

It looks like Midway has a Do-it-Yourself kit for $29.99. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/197...tte-black-4-oz

Might be worth it to do the five metal based mags I have hanging around. I'm kind of a sucker for $30 specialty kits . . .

Edited to add: Well, never mind . . . shipping is about $15. Guess I will stick to the Casewll Blackening Gel used in this thread: http://kahrtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7995

In another month or so CCR should start their holiday special. I sent 3 Kahr mags in with my other stuff and I think they did the mags for $8 each. Still look great a year later.

Plus, the exposed side of the mag is still silver. What's the point?
