  1. So your saying the consumer should eat the cost of a poor coating decision made by the manufacturer? I have no problem sending the tube or magazine back for the same in return. I did reach out to Adrian through Messenger and I'm waiting on a response from him. I'm hoping this is just an uninformed CS rep and someone who can make decisions that an upstanding business should will be who I talk to next week.
  2. I wanted to run this by the forum brain trust to gather opinions on my interaction with MBX customer service. This is copied direct from my emails with them. ME: Good morning, I recently purchased a 170mm 2011 mag in the Titanium Nitride finish and I am having an issue with the finish chipping off in places and rust starting to show. I own about a dozen of your magazines and they have been great with this one mag being the only exception. I keep my magazines clean and dry and store them indoors, so I’m not sure why this one magazine is having issues. Is there any way that I can get a replacement tube for this magazine? MBX CS: Hello Aaron, Can you please provide me with the purchase date? ME: Purchased 3/18/22 MBX CS: Hello Aaron, Unfortunately we are out of stock on the gold magazines and was very disappointed in our coating companies performance so we will no longer be doing the gold tubes what I can do is offer you a 20% discount on any future purchases. Sorry for the inconvenience. ME: Thank you for the response. I agree that the coating company did a poor job as is evident in the product I received. I do not however believe a 20% discount is acceptable compensation for the defective item I was sold. I have been an MBX customer for the last 6 years and have recommended MBX products to many fellow shooters. I would like a replacement magazine tube to replace the defective product I was sold. Thank you MBX CS: Aaron, Again I’m sorry for the issues with the product, and we do greatly appreciate your loyalty and business. Unfortunately the 20% discount on a future purchase is all I have been authorized to offer you for compensation. ME: I understand, can I please have a phone number for a manager? Thank you MBX CS: Our general manager is on vacation this week and will not be available until mid-week next week. Thoughts?
  3. I have a 16in Criterion Hybrid with rifle length gas that has been sweet. I ordered it from the manufacturer with a factory headspaced BCM bolt added.
  4. Add in Fuel, Food, etc. and you're way past $300 a month for four locals a month.
  5. Thanks Jack, I took a look at the USPSA site and did a search in Practiscore as well. I'm mainly looking for clubs that I may have missed like Outlaw matches and UML rules 3-gun.
  6. I'll be moving to the Prosper (North DFW) area this Summer and I'll be looking for a home range to get some practice in and looking for info on matches in the area. I shoot USPSA and 3-Gun. I'm coming from SE Louisiana so I'm very new to the area. Thanks in advance.
  7. I’ll be in Prosper this weekend visiting family and was looking for a local USPSA or 3-gun match. Any help is appreciated.
  8. Welcome, You'll regret not going with the 40 if your going to be shooting limited for sure. You can always load 40 to minor PF for shooting 3-gun or steel matches. Shooting 40 minor actually feels as good or better than shooting 9mm at minor PF. What matches have you shot so far? I live just South of New Orleans and have been at this close to two years now. Like you I started with a Glock and moved to a STI DVC Limited within 6 months of starting out. I shot that gun for another 6-8 months before getting bit by the open gun bug... I haven't shot limited in uspsa since. I still have my DVC limited 40 and have been tossing around the idea of selling it here lately. Hope this helps.
  9. You cant go wrong with the CK. Keep your eyes open for a used gun on here. Lots of good guns to be had for the 3k range usually.
  10. Is mounting hardware included? If not what did you use?
  11. So I signed up to shoot the Walking Dead Match in Cresson, Tx at the end of October. This will be my first time shooting a match at night. I decided to keep it simple and shoot the PCC division rather than go through setting up 3 guns with lights and getting a new holster, etc. I could use some advise on selecting a rail mounted light for my PCC and any other lights or gadgets that may prove useful. If anyone has any experience to share about this match from previous years, I'll take any advise I can get. As always, Thanks in advance.
  12. Does anyone have a lead to a working link to sign up for this match? The match is listed in Practiscore but there is no place to sign up for it and if you go to the lonestar multigun page there is a link to another site for sign up and its not working. Is the match full? Any help is greatly appreciated.
  13. 50yd x 50yd bay can only shoot the back berm.
  14. So you have two hours to practice live fire and all the ammo you need. What drills are you doing? Go
  15. Criterion barrels. Give them a call and they can add a bcm bolt head spaced for your barrel. I use the 16in rifle length gas barrel.
  16. What charge weight are you using with h322. I use the same components with 23.0 grains of h322.
  17. What are the specs of your 55gr ammo? I run a 16in rifle gas with JP LMOS, SCS, and comp. No issues with 55grn running at about 3k fps.
  18. What part of south LA you in? I'm in Belle Chasse.
  19. I started out with the Strike eagle and it worked fine for most 3 gun situations, but if you're like many of us on this forum that "don't have a life other than shooting", I would go with at least the Viper PST 1-6. The short list of advantages are- bigger field of view, less cluttered reticle, and clearer glass on long range targets.
  20. Stages are posted on Practiscore and FB. Total round count is 207 if I counted right.
