Hi Guys, I own a Kimber Custom II 1911. I got a Brownells catalog, and saw a number of Drop In magwells that said they require no fitting. Is this true? Can anyone recommend a particular drop in magwell that would serve me well? Thanks for the help. |
This one? www.smithandalexander.com/images/mg3.jpg Do you have one? How do you like it? Thanks. |
I have one with an arched MSH. Love it to death. It is much better than the factory one that comes with a SA TRP Operator. |
| I just ordered the Ed Brown mainspring housing / magwell this week. Will post a review on the part and the installation later this week. |
Smith & Alexander. Every one I've installed have gone in with no issues. I can't say the same for the Ed Brown one that I ordered from Midway. It was crooked and went back. James |

One from EGW and one from Fusion (both looked similar) fit easily in both a Kimber and a Les Baer. I've been completely satisfied with them. They're held in place by both a dovetail and a screw. If the screw falls out, your magwell will still stay in place even if loose. Some models that use a screw only run a risk of the magwell twisting if the screw loosens, potentially fouling your reload. It's a minor point, but still worth considering. |
