  1. Be careful. Most folks that get into the MPX and start calling them junk and wont run is because of the mouse fart loads. The gun will run with good ammo and give you the soft shooter that it is. The gun shoots so soft that sometimes the extra light loads don't pay off in a rifle that doesn't cycle 100%. I shot factory Federal in mine and it never missed a beat. Wish I had it back.

  2. mstamper,  I am not throwing anyone under a bus !!  I don't need to do that. I have been in this sport way to long  to have to resort to that. I don't know Robin, never shot with him, no reason to throw him under a bus. He is making money from shooters by producing a product that works most of the time, great for him. When a product is being made for shooters and a lot of money is being charged and it has to be altered to work, that speaks for itself. In all fairness to TF, tolerances have to be dealt with and allowed for.  One mag will be different then the other. Got it !  Throwing someone under a bus, really . I am glad for you that you are a happy TF customer. I purchased one basepad and it did not work. I am speaking from other comments that theirs did not work either with out be altered. I also had a product for shooters that had started a standard for shooters today, textured grips. My grips had won World, National, Area, and State titles in the day. Now, everyone has textured grips and most do the grips themselves. You now see grips coming from the factory with higher trigger guard cuts as well as more aggressive texturing. When others started doing grips and making money at it, did I throw then under a bus. NO ! I was happy for them.  The "under the bus" comment was un-called for.  

  3. If I had to guess, it has been bent by other forces, like you said, something dropped on it or could it have been dropped. If it has been dropped, there would sure be mark on the muzzle someplace.  Is the bend at the end of the barrel nut, if so the bend came form something heavy being dropped on it. The barrel nut end would be a leverage point. It is not a manufacture defect that caused that. Keep us informed as to what you find out. Is there video cameras at the range ?  Video goes along way.

  4. I have witnessed in a match, a skeletonized upper and lower catch a round that did not eject well and then tried to feed another round. The empty actually caught in one of the cutouts in the upper. It was a jam from hell. Cost the shooter major time. They look cool, but don't save that much weight.
