Sarge Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My mags ran perfect this weekend! No problems at all and hold 22 and 28 9mm easily. But they are STI tubes with grams guts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I spoke to the folks at Wolf they said that we can only get their springs for MBX, from MBX. Now that was before the fine folks at TTi stepped up with a resolution to my issues. So thank you TTi for your gracious help. I will gladly return the favor with my next order. Cheers.

Dependability is the most important thing when dealing with magazines. I have the same setup and they run perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desmo412 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I find it funny that he told several of us that there were no new options for springs or followers, but now "heavy duty" springs and followers are available on the MBX website. I'll stick with the TTI guts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a matt Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 It would be nice to hear from Adrian. Just give us a heads up, new springs and followers are here maybe coming or they are what they are? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinginlead Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) I would like a refund on the extra springs I bought when I ordered my original mags. They are nothing now but something hanging on the wall to look like I have more crap than I need. Ohhhh wait, those are the new EXTREME DUTY springs, holy cow, I think I just heard the angels sing, oh.... sorry..... no, that was me farting.

rh203 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I am having a new open gun built and it will be ready in a few months and my gunsmith recommended these mags. After reading through this thread I was understandably skeptical. So instead of buying five of these mags when my gun is ready I just bought one now to run in my current open gun. Just got it last week and so far so good. I am able to fit 24 9mm right off the bat. Only ran about 200 rounds but flawless none the less. I will be running it this weekend at the Ohio Buckeye Blast match. I will post an update after the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calvinc78 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I bought 3 140's and a 170 when they first came out. So far I've had no issues but reading all this makes me feel like I got a time bomb in my hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neomet Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 My two 170s continue to run fine. Original springs and followers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike_pinto Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Mine run great and I load them to 30 every time. I am however about 3 months in and I change my 170 springs every quarter anyway, so I am getting the new version springs and new followers, but am keeping the old ones for backup. Love the mags and every time I email Adrian, I get a response pretty quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverBolt Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I have 3 170's 9mm none of which run. I have tried Gram's guts with no luck. Those running TTi springs and followers did you have to modify anything? My 4 9mm 140's are not running either. My .40 mags I have running reliably with Gram's guts. Any insight to get the 9mm's working? TTi springs and followers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at it last night and I do not believe it is stepped. It is steeply angled but noting like any other 2011 mags that I have or have seen. Most seem to have a step. I will try to snap a picture as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rh203 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Here is a pic of it (these are the newer ones, if you have problems with the old one, contact MBX): Mine is not stepped like that at all. I am shooting another practice session tonight. It continues to run well, however, I cannot help but be skeptical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

APL-G35 Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Are the .40 stepped like that also? Are they an old design if they are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetdocone Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 I am not interested in 29 or 30. Stock STI's hold 29 without any problem. If guaranteed 30 I like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slinginlead Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 You are not going to get guarantees. The tubes are good but I would put TTI internals in them. First time I put my TTI guts in I got 29 and I can work them to 30 reloadable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaranTactical Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 Alright, so the responses have been all positive for our guts working in MBX magazines. I haven't heard of anyone issues yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
