Well, solved that problem

Did you make it a 10 rounder instead of a 20 rounder just for space?

good ingenuity!
hopefully it feeds good and you have the spring pressure correct.

You say the 10 and 25 mags are the same size? Can you alter the 10 to hold 25?

I cut it down from 11 1/2" to 8". It will actually accept 11 rounds if you force it. I will just call it a comfortable 10 rounder.

Yes, I like the shorter mags for bench shooting. I ordered 4 more mags, and intend on cutting them all down. I will make 2 more 10 rounder and 2 20 rounders. I wil be very careful to make sure the 20 round mags will not take any more. Just to be sure I may even make them 18 round mags, that way there is no question.

Thanks, yeah I was thinking the same thing. I hope it works well. It sould, I really dont feel a difference in how it is now compared to before I cut it. But the gun will tell me for sure.

Yes they are the same size. I havn't seen the two mags next to each other, but I would assume either the spring is longer or the follower is longer in the 10 round mag.
