urnsrus Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Is 19 round all that one can get these days? Where is the best place to start a search? Totally rebuilding my Caspian 9mm and want new mags, as mine are shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bamboo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yes, I would be interested in info about Caspian/tango mags from MBX also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Mitch Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 I wonder if they will sell. It's gotta be 20 years too late by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caspian guy Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 (edited) It would be nice to have some new mags that work well, that don't date from before the high cap mag ban (or that didn't have to be cut and welded to make them longer. ) I tried some of the new mags caspian was selling but they never worked as well in my guns as the old ones did. I have some mbxs for one of my STIs and if these are the same quality, i'll buy a set of them. Edited September 4, 2016 by caspian guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the new mags work I think you will see more caspian builds. Price up a caspian frame kit vs the metal grip and frame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Thanks for the info, I'm not a facebooker and would not have see that. Very glad to see this, I'll be buying some for sure. I've had excellent experiences with his mags for the STI, and have a couple Caspian open guns I like a lot. If they they are dimensioned like the new style mags that Caspian sells then they should work in the large framed Tanfos, also (at least the current mags I own do).

Gooldylocks Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 When I saw that post, I was thinking that it could mean a lot more Tanfo open guns would probably start turning up at matches. The Tanfo guns have the big draw of being a factory gun for a lower cost, but the magazine situation has always sucked.

redfisher Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 hmmm, just spent $300 to have Jim Anglin make me 2, timing is everything. I'm sure i'll buy a couple, but a year ago MBX told me they had NO plans for Caspian mags. I've also started to migrate towards STI based guns.

Bamboo Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Interesting that they are labeled as 9mm. The Caspian mags (old and new style) I have all work with 38 super or 9mm. I wonder if they are actually specific to 9mm and won't work with 38 super, or if they just labeled them 9mm and they work with both. I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Intel6 Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 By the looks of them they are like the SV mags without the smooth sides which work with either .38 Super or 9mm. The STI mags have those indents/inside ribs that cause issues with 9mm unless it has spacers installed. The smooth sided mags work with both .38 and 9mm so I assume they are marked 9mm but work with both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 (edited) Anyone seen MBX offering these mags yet? I've been keeping an eye on their webpage, but haven't seen any mention of them yet. I don't do facebook and am wondering if I am mssing anything. I didn't shoot the nationals but live close enough that I intended to make the drive and visit the MBX table to checkout and buy some mags. Hurricane Mathew had other plans for me, though, and I couldn't make it to Frostproof. Edited October 19, 2016 by Bamboo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace38super Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I bought one of the big sticks they had at Nationals. Took it to the test bay and loaded 28 rounds 9 major. The mag inserted and dropped free empty or full and functioned perfectly. That was all the testing as I had to deal with hurricane shutters. Intend to use it at a match soon. I can tell by the way the rounds stack that it should work properly. MBX deserves credit for design excellence and making it possible for Caspians to be competitive.

Garmil Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 perfect timing since i just bought my first caspian. looking forward to hearing how these work for everyone. i have 2 welded 170mm but not sure how the capacity compares to these mbx mags.

Bamboo Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Ace, thanks for the report. Good news indeed! Shuttering up in Minnesota is a little over kill...but I was doing the same thing! Looking forward to seeing the "Buy Me Now" link on their webpage! Garmil,I think you will find that you will get 28 or 29 rounds in the MBX mags depending on spring condition, modification, and the personality of the mag. I have a few old stye Jim Anglin weld-ups that hold 29 and they are tweaked to just barely fit the gauge. I also have some of the Caspian New Style mag weld-ups and those are 28 or 29 rounds depending on how I tweaked the mag spring/follower and their actual length (some are IPSC legal). More is better, yes...but 28 reliable beats 30 sketchy any day of the week! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chutist Posted November 2, 2016 Share Posted November 2, 2016 Too late... recently sold my Caspian. I always felt a bit "abandoned" by them after i chose them over the intital STI's. I'm sure the MBX mags will work great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bamboo Posted November 23, 2016 Share Posted November 23, 2016 (edited) Happy to see the Caspian mags being sold on the MBX website now.
