Steve J Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 MGM makes a less than perfect copy of the original still made by Terry Ashton in San Angelo, but I digress. We don't need another Texas Star thread. Post here >>> http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79217&view=findpost&p=917228 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wakal Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 Easy question. Original invented by Terry Ashton, sold as the Texas Star. Best latch system available, can be set up for .22 (or Cowboy Action) as well as the standard springs for center fire/full power cartridges. Downside: not rifle grade. The San Angelo club is still using the prototype after almost ten years, and it still works fine. MGM's is all rifle grade steel. The latch system is OK, and Mike was polite enough to talk to Terry before producing his own design based on Terry's original pattern. Like all of Mike's targets, of course, his star is solid like rock and well worth the money. There R other versions, but the latch system on those sucks and the company that makes them just ripped off Terry's design and claimed "innovation" on an vastly inferior product. One hit often gives multiple plates as the latches fail due to poor construction. Garbage. My advice: Texas Star for general use, MGM for rifle grade, and avoid anything else like the post-binge spew it is Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flexmoney Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 I am going to close this, in favor of the ongoing thread linked to above. (and there are others that you can find with a search) - Admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
