travisb2352 Posted April 6, 2016 Author Share Posted April 6, 2016 http://magnussportsusa.com/product-category/firearms/pistol/ He has some more CK arms guns in stock if anyone was in the market. JJ was really great to deal with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travisb2352 Posted April 7, 2016 Author Share Posted April 7, 2016 Picked up the new CK thunder yesterday, what a nice, well made gun. It feels great, I lubed it up and will be using it at my weekly indoor match tonight. One question though.... I read the letter from Bobby that said that the aftec extractor comes with only one spring installed and after 5k rounds I should install the next other. What is the reasoning behind this? Also what issues will there be with one/or both springs installed? Im new to 2011's so I am going to follow the break in to the letter, but I am curious as to the reasoning behind installing one spring Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonglee0507 Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 (edited) If you put the other spring the extactor tension would be too tight causing failure to battery. Let the other spring wear off first before installing the other Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk Edited April 7, 2016 by bonglee0507 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S&W686 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I would go with a CK Arms. You can get them a Shooters Connection or Magnus Sports. Give Bobby a call at Freedom Gunworks, he will answer all your questions about his guns. Very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisb2352 Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 Shot it at a match last night, used Atlanta Arms 40 SW 180 grain JFP ammo, lots of jams but I chalk it up to the break in period. What a fun gun to shoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never tuned a mag before any recommendations on the process or tools and measurements. Is the tuning CK arms specific or is it on a gun by gun basis?

There used to be a thread on 2011 mag tuning. Next time you take the gun out pay attention to which mag you have the failure with. The feed lips may need adjusting. I would be surprised if it you had issues with any of the mbx mags those are supposed to be good to go out of the box from what i hear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

travisb2352 Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 So I took the slide off for the first time to put some oil on the rails and saw these marks by the disconnecter. Should I be worried? Do I need to contact Ck or is this something that's cosmetic only and won't effect function and I should keep putting rounds down it. For reference I've only shot about 150 rounds through it so far and it's my first 2011 so I'm nervous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't know what could have put those marks onto the frame and if it did happen to make it through QC, it should not have. It shouldn't impact the function at all, but if you want you can return the gun and get a replacement.

Wvaughn7 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I'm not quite in the postition the purchase my first custom gun yet, but this thread sure makes it hard to go against CK Arms when to time does come. That is excellent customer service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travisb2352 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Just wanted to give an update. Bobby received the gun today emailed me immediately and is sending me a BRAND NEW gun. Matt and Bobby have gone above and beyond customer service wise to make sure I am happy with my purchase. I could not be happier with my experience with CK/freedom gun works. Them sending a brand new gun, all from me sending pictures of some cosmetic damages and scratches is definitely above and beyond what I expected. Thanks Bobby and Matt!
