Totes Magoats Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Can you explain how these work? I thought magazine base pads were not allowed in WB. Totes

Chuck Steak Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 what is the new rule as it applies to base pads? Not all base pads are created equal.
Howlin' Wolf Posted August 1, 2019 Author Posted August 1, 2019 I’m working on getting the official measurements. Basically it cannot be longer than the base of the mag and no more than 1/4 in thick

Red Eye Jim Posted August 1, 2019 Posted August 1, 2019 Howlin', Are they available in all your leather colors?

I checked for available leather dyes - there are many colors. I'm considering sunshine yellow, oxblood red and turquoise. I'll probably go with oxblood red.
Red Eye Jim Posted August 2, 2019 Posted August 2, 2019 I'd do purple myself. Most of my range gear is purple at this point. It started with a plastic ammo can I got from a clearance bin when I was looking for something to throw things in when going to a public range, and kinda morphed into my "signature" for my Non-SASS shooting activities...
Totes Magoats Posted August 7, 2019 Posted August 7, 2019 Received my order and got a few installed. After some testing, it looks like these will help prevent that dreaded magazine pinch on reloading. My main purpose for buying these! I will run'em in my next WB match. Hopefully, my band-aid budget will go down. Totes
Attica Jack #23953 Posted August 13, 2019 Posted August 13, 2019 Are these pads also legal for Traditional?

Attica Jack #23953 Posted September 1, 2019 Posted September 1, 2019 I picked up some of the magazine pads. Lucky for me, my mags. are Shooting Stars and already have drilled holes for mounting base pads. I had to remove the IPSIC type pads to shoot Wild Bunch. All I had to do was to drill the pads and get shorter screws, kind of small I think #4.
BLACKFOOT SASS #11947 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Screws are legal but the 1/4 inch total still applies.

Attica Jack #23953 Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 The leather pads are only 3/16 thick and with the screw heads less the 1/4 inch. If it was a problem I could tighten the screws into the pads, or grind down the screw heads some.

Springfield Slim SASS #24733 Posted February 12, 2020 Posted February 12, 2020 DAP Contact cement is much less messy than Barges and available at most any hardware store. Dries faster and holds very well. I use it for most of my leather work.
