Pinning Glock Magazines

[theautomator]

Hello Everyone,

Does anyone know where I can see some pictures or a video of how to pin glock mags? I've read on CGN of people using rivets but I can't find any small enough. Also do you need to file down the outside of the rivet to allow it to enter the mag well?

Thanks,

I had to drill out one of the holes in the back of the mag to make it a bit bigger. Then just use a pop rivet. I did have to file down the rivet just a tiny bit to make it drop free from the gun. I'll check on the size of the drill bit and rivet and get back to you.

You can get around filing them by countersinking the holes and then using countersunk pop rivets.

Thanks Guys,

That makes sense.

What I did to mine was just get a couple of small pieces of wood or delrin or aluminum and shaved them down thin enough and long enough to fit in between the spring and only allow 10 1/3 rounds. That's just as "permanent" as pinning.

To pin G17 mags to 10rds, you will need 1/16" rivets and you will need to open up the 14th hole with a 1/16"drill bit.

Which witness hole that you use depends on which generation of follower. Some are longer than others.
