Wild Bunch Mag Pads

[Howlin' Wolf 150]

These are our new mag pads that are used to be placed on the bottom of magazines to help minimize bruising for wild bunch shooters! Currently they are a call in order (1-800-497-3166) but be watching for them to pop up on our shopping cart! They are available in packs of 10 for $9.95

Can you explain how these work?  I thought magazine base pads were not allowed in WB.

Rule changed at EOT

[Chuck Steak 139]

what is the new rule as it applies to base pads?

 

Not all base pads are created equal.

[Howlin' Wolf 150]

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

New rule concerning Magazine Base Pads  effective 27 June 2019

A pad may be added to the base of magazines as long as it conforms to the following requirements:
#1. It is made of natural leather material only.
#2. It is no larger than the contour of the base of the magazine.
#3. The total thickness of the base pad may not extend more than 1/4" beyond the original base plate.

How do your pads attach to the magazine?  

[Three Foot Johnson 1,741]

Glue

We don’t provide the glue for hazmat reasons. Barge contact cement or gorilla snot will work.

Just placed an order with Lisa!

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 215]

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 230]

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.

Yes

[Attica Jack #23953 194]

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 382]

Screws are legal but the 1/4 inch total still applies.

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.

Where's a gorilla when you need one??!!!

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.
