PA-63 owners, I need a favor

Post by jagged »

Do any of you with a PA-63 have a set of calipers?

I'm curious to see what kind of differences there are between magazines for the 63 and the AP. I'll have pictures and measurements up shortly of certain areas I'm looking for.

Allright. So, theoretically, a PA-63 magazine could work with some modification done to the feed lips.

I think you would have to add metal to the feed lips

I think what I would do , is go to an ACE hardware and get a piece of brass sheet metal the right thickness and cut it to the shape of the feed lips then blend it like the feed lips then solder them over top the lips

Good idea. I've got a few magazines on the way, so I've got some room for trial and error.
