Has anyone tried to clip the mag spring to allow +1 round?

[beltfedleadhead]

Both of my P64 mags have ALMOST enough room for a 7th round. It also appears that there is enough space in the body to allow another cartridge.

Just curious if anyone's tried this. The springs seem pretty strong, so I don't imagine losing a coil or two would hurt the feeding.

Anyone?

This has been tried before, results are somewhere on this board, you'll have to search for it. The end result was a non-success and it was not even worth the time / effort.

One of the other folks that replied (destrux) gave it a go. Read what he said at the very bottom of the first page.

I second that--not worth the trouble. I think the thread (an older one than above) was ANOTHER 7 Round Mag thread in this folder started by buggyboat on Sun May 14, 2006 9:30 pm.
