- Hey everybody,
Adam from Atlas Gunworks
talking about mags today.
(gunfire rounds)
So, Atlas tuned mags,
I've got a couple different sizes here,
and a couple of different varieties,
and people often ask
what the difference is.
So, we make a mag called a Race Ready.
So, we take an STI tube,
modify the tube as necessary,
there's a couple of different things.
We have lots of videos
on how that happens.
Put a better base pad on
with a toolless base pad,
and put a different
spring and follower system
in there with a flat follower,
so there's no lock back.
They get maximum capacity
and maximum reliability,
but no lock back.
So that's an Atlas Race Ready mag.
You can get them in nine
millimeter, 170, 140.
Those are the only two sizes in nine,
and then we also make it in 40 cal.
I don't have one here, but a 40 cal, 140.
That's the only way that those come,
but basically for USPSA
Three Gun Steel Challenge,
other sporting events where
you want a high capacity mag
with no lock back feature.
Another version, so that
was actually these two,
another version is our Duty Ready mag.
So same thing, we tuned the body.
We jam on a better base pad.
You get a four millimeter base
pad across most of the mags,
except the 126's get a three millimeter
so that they fit in the
new Atlas Duty mag well.
In this case, we tune the mag bodies.
We, again, new base pad,
we put in a different spring.
Atlas, we have our own springs made,
and then we keep the STI followers
for lock back and they're
tuned for lock back.
And there's a little bit of
tube tuning for lock back,
and there's a little bit
of tube tuning for feeding,
and sometimes some tube tuning
for getting the mags in the grips.
But that's a Duty Ready mag.
So those are the two kinds of mag sets.
You have Race Ready and Duty Ready.
On the mags that hold,
or the Race Ready mags,
that hold an extra little bit of capacity,
not all of them, the 126, we don't do it,
but on the other ones,
we often drill a hole to
witness a few more rounds.
So I think this one's 29 and 23,
and these are almost all, at this point,
the black, STI switched
to the black tubes.
These are the black Teflon tubes.
So those are our Race Ready mags,
and we're getting a better flow of those
so they should almost always be in stock.
It's a great mag.
They require sometimes a
little bit of retuning once
or twice a year, but
that's pretty typical.
I've run these for years, they work great.
So, they need to be tuned,
but once they're tuned,
it's a really great product.
Hope to see you guys on the range soon.
