Can a norico 9mm mag load more then 16 shots - Firearms

Probably. You can use a 1913 rail with a forward incline to get more elevation. How far are you trying to shoot? 450 yards is further than most hunters will try to take game because of terminal ballistics and ability to precisely place the shot for a clean, humane kill. Target shooting is still getting close to out of range - bullet drop on a 300 win mag 180 grainer is pretty severe - at 500 yards it is falling 55 inches, and it gets progressively worse with heavier bullets and longer ranges.

At less than 300 yards this caliber will take down any large game animal in North America. You have chosen a very effective caliber, but all calibers have limitations.

The tension of the slide tends to correlate with the caliber of the firearm. A more powerful round usually needs a heavier spring to absorb the recoil to prevent damage to the moving parts. It also needs enough force on the return cycle to strip a new round from the magazine. Higher magazine capacity means higher spring tension on the rounds within it; leading to the need for an appropriate return force. Everything about the firearm you change can lead to a failure if not properly engineered. With all that said the unfortunate reality is under most circumstances you can not lighten the 9mm Parabellum to the same slide pull weight of a .380 which is actually a 9mm Kurtz (short) in Europe.

I need more info. Not sure what you are asking.

Clear the jam. Use a new high quality snap cap. Glock makes and sells 9mm.

Remove one round from the magazine and try it again. If it is still not retaining the mag, then you have a problem with the magazine catch. Also try a different magazine as there could be a problem with the mag catch notch in the magazine. In any case this is not a user repairable item. Take this to your local gunsmith or back to the dealer you purchased it from.

This depends on the rifle and the ammo combination. I'd try Hornady with VLD or ELD bullets.

Hello,
I was unable to locate a replacement base for the magazine, but used to when mag wells were added to 1911s, we would glue a piece of hard rubber or plastic to the base. You may have to shape it to match up. Easy fix if you have the materials.
