Ordered 2 for now as the shipping is the same. I hope they are OK as I read before they were. On the way as I type.

I ordered 3 the other day as well. Never a bad thing to have spares. The Keep Shooting versions appear longer. That must help them hold 10 shells easier.

On a similar note, I was having feeding issues the last few months of every kind. The most telling was the guns wouldn’t chamber the last round. I installed a few of the MCarbo springs in some of my magazines and that took care of all the issues.

It would hold the bolt open when it still had a round left in the magazine. The other feed issues must also have been tied to the weakened springs. Cleaning them didn’t help so I went with the stronger springs. 2 thumbs up.

I have 3 of the Keep Shooting mags. One is still in the packaging. They work great. They are about 3/16 inch longer than the older mags with the 10 stamp and are the same size as the ones with the 10 in a circle stamp. The mag with the 10 stamp holds 9 rounds and the other 2 hold 10 rounds with the last round being difficult to load in all 3 mags. All 3 types function well for me.

Mine just came in as well, I’m still not getting more than 9 rounds so they didn’t make them slightly longer which I expected.

I measured the spring strength with a trigger gauge through the side view port.
Stock springs were 2lbs to the halfway down mark
Keep shooting was 2.5- 3lbs
Mcarbo was 3.5lbs

Weight, this is surprising

Stock 20 grams
Keep shooting 59 grams.

They appear very well made and smooth.
