Finally read the FAQs

Finally read the FAQs (3/11)

  1. I always thought it would a 1911 with Damascus slide and titanium frame would be a great build project. One of the oldest battle Metal and the Newest on the finest battle design ever...
  2. Mine has this problem but so far the MBX Magazine is working 100% and adding the rubber washers to the standard mags seems to work. From looking at the Ser# I guess I have a very early one. This is my full Ser#
  3. I want to see the Extended Magazine Catch. As soon as I figured out what was happening with the magazine moving up too far I realized the mag catch size didn't match up to the hole in the magazine. I thought about getting a extra one and trying to modify it but they are not available...
  4. The MBX magazine is working for me so far but I only have about 200 rounds using it. I picked up a bag of 215 O-rings and they look like they will work but I haven't shot it yet. I'm thinking about selling the 4 factory mags I have and going all in with a few more of the MBX.
  5. I emailed them on May 8th , got a Request received email but that's all. I may try calling them tomorrow if I have time.
  6. Yes, I working on the same issue. By the way the "Don't Smash your Magazine in so hard" doesn't fly. I shot a local USPSA match this weekend, I carefully inserted the magazines and I had this malfunction on 3 of 6 stages with 3 different magazines. Each time the slide got stuck on magazine I was 6-12 rounds into the magazine. This show's me that the magazine can move up high enough to interfere while shooting.
  7. Do you know what parts they are replacing? I have narrowed the problem down a bit more. If you take the slide off and insert the magazine, the magazine will lock into place and it will not be sticking up above the frame (where the slide would be sitting) but you can then push the magazine and it will move up more and now it's above the frame. To very this is the problem remove the magazine and put the slide back on. Now put the magazine back in and keep pressure on it so it's is up as far as it can go. The pull the slide back as far as it will go and let it move forward, it will probably hang up on the magazine. If you look closer you will see the slid is not up to the point that the slide stop will hold it. I think the problem can be corrected in at least 3 ways. 1. A magazine catch with more material on below the catch point so it matches the notch in the magazine ( my guess is they made it this way to make it ambidextrous). 2. Limit the slide movement so it just goes past the slide stop (something like Shock buffers in 1911s). 3. Mill the slide to allow for magazine clearance. 4. Take some material off the back-top corners of the magazines. I have a service request in with Canik, I'll let you know what they say.
  8. With 24 rounds +1 to start it ran perfect until the 3rd from the last round. That round did not pop up at a angle and jammed up the gun. I cleared the jam, reloaded the same round and 5 more rounds and it finished the magazine without a problem. I then reloaded another 24 rounds and it ran the entire magazine without a problem. I will need to run it a bit longer before I would trust it in a match but I think it could work. I also know that the times 24+1 will really make a difference is not all that often.
  9. Thank you, I kinda figured it out but I wasn't as meticulous as you were. I loaded 23 rounds bumping the base pad into my palm every 3 or 4 after 10. Then unloaded it and started over 2 or 3 times. I then loaded the 23 rounds and let it set for nearly 2 days. I can now load 24 rounds and still have a little bit of room for the last round to move down. I haven't shot it yet but I expect it to run ok. I have had a few people say I may need to go to a lighter recoil and striker spring for the best reliable but I'll try it first. I'll run a couple of magazines through it tomorrow and let you know how it works.
  10. I just purchased your Ultra Max springs and followers with Henning basepads. Is there a trick to loading 24 rounds ? I can not get the 24th round into the magazine.
  11. Is there a trick to loading 24 rounds in the factory Canik mag using the MBX Ultra Max springs and followers with Henning basepads. The MBX Facebook Video makes it look simple but I can not get the 24th round into the magazine. I have loaded it several times while bumping it make sure the spring is free. I also loaded 23 rounds and let it set for a day. I normally shoot Limited with. SVI / Infinity so I know loading to the max is a challenge.
  12. Thank you for the input. I like the idea of the Grams type followers (which ones are people using?). I don't think the malfunction could have been caused by my thumb bumping the lock into place because I could not release the slide from slide lock until I removed the magazine. I had only ran about a hundred rounds on this gun before the match and it ran about 200 more rounds without a problem after this issue (but I didn't run that magazine again in the match. I have ordered a MBX Spring and follower set and Henning extension, depending on how it runs I may buy a couple more or try the new MBX Magazine.
  13. I ran my new Rival S at a local USPSA match Saturday. On the first stage, 6th shot fired the Slide Locked back. I was running the factory magazine with 20 round base pads. There was no blockage/jam in the chamber area and the magazine was seated. I tried to rack the slide to release the slide lock and it would not move. I then tried to release the slide stop, it would not move. I don't think the Magazine was over inserted because it was inserted with the slide closed ( I don't slam them in) and didn't have a problem until the 6th shot was fired. I dropped the magazine (the slide remained locked open) I the racked the slide back and the side stop released, slide closed. I inserted a fresh magazine, racked the slide and finished the stage. I shot 5 more stages without any malfunctions. I was running Blazer Brass 124. Has anyone had a problem like this? How can I disable the automatic Slide Lock function? My SVI / Infinity 2011 was built with the Slide stop Magazine nub removed. I'm thinking about doing the same to my Canik. I have shot enough Limited matches that I don't shoot the gun dry.
  14. Yes, the large grip fills my hands well...
  15. I have tried all three grip panels on my Rival S, They are all the same thickness sie to side. I'm a 1911/2011 shooter, I wear Mechanix brand XXL gloves.
