Has anyone attempted this yet? I am planning on giving it a shot using 2 factor p22 mags or a factory mag and building an extension and sleeve out of sheet metal. If anyone has built extended mags before how did you go about with the springs? I was thinking either one set of long springs or putting a metal flat plate in the extension that has a stop where the factory mag would have a floor and using a fairly strong spring below it and have like a 2 step spring setup. Im sure its gonna take a lot of tinkering to do it but im tired of the low mag capacity after shooting my glocks with 33round magazines.
If you have done this before for a p22, or any other gun, please let me know how you went about doing it so I can get some ideas
Thanks,
Spencer

I always tell the truth, even when I lie
Heya, new around here, but I also have a P22 that I've been wanting to pick up\fabricate Hi-Cap mags for.
One thing I stumbled across is that they're now making 45 round drums for the P22. If you Google "Walther P22 Drum" you'll find some hits.
They aren't cheap (like $170), and there isn't any "real" need to have a drum on a P22 either...
But that doesn't mean that I don't want one

Two best ways of extending mags are to use a donor magazine and tig a cut off piece onto the new magazine, or if possible fabricate extended baseplates. Then you have the magazine spring to deal with but you can usually find something that will work or Wolf will have it. Rarely you can find a longer mag from some other pistol that can be made to work with what you have.
Dealing with the 22lr rims is tough and you are limited to how many rounds you can stack in a straight mag to roughly 12-15 without putting some curve in them ala extended 10-22 mags. It's not going to be cheap.

"A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." --Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, 1785
