toothandnail Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 One of the reasons we supply, and recommend, MBX mags on all our 2011 builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slinginlead Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 You don't have to spend that kind of money on a new MBX mag to get it to work. Dawson has a mag tuning kit and there are videos online to teach you. Save the money and buy Good Springs and followers, TTI or Grams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mro111lland Posted April 17, 2016 Author Share Posted April 17, 2016 Tried mbx mags feed lips are to short in length and my gun does not feed reliable from the mbx mag sent it back and got sti tubes have never had an isue with them and y should I have to buy a 100$ kit to make a 100$ mag fit in the gun have never once had a problem with a glock mag or springfield mag or cz mag doesn't make sence to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsteimel Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Definitely second my disapproval with MBX mags! I bought a 170 and a 140. NEITHER ran with their guts. Paid way too much to have to pay extra for Taran internals to get them to run. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aircooled6racer Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Hello: Send the STI mag tube back to STI and see what they say. I am sure they will make it right. Thanks, Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRT8 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I just sent 12 9mm bodies back to STI. Not one would run without nose diving (Grams or STI guts). They seem to have a problem in the transition area from double to single where the rounds under the top round are straight, instead of angled up. I tried a new SV tube and after a bit of fitting, it ran flawless, so I picked up a full set of SV tubes. Every one of them runs perfect. Also tried a friends MBX mags and they ran good as well.
