- Hey everybody,

[00:00:01.02]

Adam from Atlas Gunworks

talking about mags today.

[00:00:04.07]

(gunfire rounds)

[00:00:12.04]

So, Atlas tuned mags,

[00:00:15.04]

I've got a couple different sizes here,

[00:00:17.05]

and a couple of different varieties,

[00:00:19.01]

and people often ask

what the difference is.

[00:00:20.09]

So, we make a mag called a Race Ready.

[00:00:24.04]

So, we take an STI tube,

modify the tube as necessary,

[00:00:28.09]

there's a couple of different things.

[00:00:30.02]

We have lots of videos

on how that happens.

[00:00:32.09]

Put a better base pad on

with a toolless base pad,

[00:00:36.02]

and put a different

spring and follower system

[00:00:39.02]

in there with a flat follower,

[00:00:41.00]

so there's no lock back.

[00:00:42.03]

They get maximum capacity

and maximum reliability,

[00:00:45.05]

but no lock back.

[00:00:46.08]

So that's an Atlas Race Ready mag.

[00:00:48.05]

You can get them in nine

millimeter, 170, 140.

[00:00:52.09]

Those are the only two sizes in nine,

[00:00:54.06]

and then we also make it in 40 cal.

[00:00:57.02]

I don't have one here, but a 40 cal, 140.

[00:00:59.07]

That's the only way that those come,

[00:01:01.01]

but basically for USPSA

Three Gun Steel Challenge,

[00:01:04.09]

other sporting events where

you want a high capacity mag

[00:01:07.09]

with no lock back feature.

[00:01:12.04]

Another version, so that

was actually these two,

[00:01:15.09]

another version is our Duty Ready mag.

[00:01:17.08]

So same thing, we tuned the body.

[00:01:20.05]

We jam on a better base pad.

[00:01:24.01]

You get a four millimeter base

pad across most of the mags,

[00:01:27.02]

except the 126's get a three millimeter

[00:01:29.04]

so that they fit in the

new Atlas Duty mag well.

[00:01:34.01]

In this case, we tune the mag bodies.

[00:01:36.03]

We, again, new base pad,

[00:01:38.04]

we put in a different spring.

[00:01:39.09]

Atlas, we have our own springs made,

[00:01:42.00]

and then we keep the STI followers

[00:01:43.09]

for lock back and they're

tuned for lock back.

[00:01:47.09]

And there's a little bit of

tube tuning for lock back,

[00:01:50.01]

and there's a little bit

of tube tuning for feeding,

[00:01:51.09]

and sometimes some tube tuning

[00:01:53.08]

for getting the mags in the grips.

[00:01:56.02]

But that's a Duty Ready mag.

[00:01:58.08]

So those are the two kinds of mag sets.

[00:02:01.02]

You have Race Ready and Duty Ready.

[00:02:03.05]

On the mags that hold,

or the Race Ready mags,

[00:02:07.07]

that hold an extra little bit of capacity,

[00:02:10.03]

not all of them, the 126, we don't do it,

[00:02:12.04]

but on the other ones,

[00:02:13.03]

we often drill a hole to

witness a few more rounds.

[00:02:16.09]

So I think this one's 29 and 23,

[00:02:20.03]

and these are almost all, at this point,

[00:02:22.06]

the black, STI switched

to the black tubes.

[00:02:26.01]

These are the black Teflon tubes.

[00:02:28.04]

So those are our Race Ready mags,

[00:02:30.09]

and we're getting a better flow of those

[00:02:32.06]

so they should almost always be in stock.

[00:02:34.06]

It's a great mag.

[00:02:36.03]

They require sometimes a

little bit of retuning once

[00:02:39.05]

or twice a year, but

that's pretty typical.

[00:02:42.09]

I've run these for years, they work great.

[00:02:44.08]

So, they need to be tuned,

but once they're tuned,

[00:02:47.00]

it's a really great product.

[00:02:48.05]

Hope to see you guys on the range soon.
