s2000red Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I use MBX in all three of my CK Arms open guns with no problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balmo Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I have MBX big sticks and 140mm STI tube w Grams guts + spacer. All of them work reliably on my CK open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter1998 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I have had no issues with MBX mags in CK limited and open guns. I have switched my springs and followers to grams in my 40 caliber mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWard79 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I run MBX and STI mag bodies in my Cheely Custom 9s. Depending on when you are looking to purchase the gen 2 STI mags may be an option as well, currently they can be had in 40 but the 9 mags are few and far between. The newer STI tubes do not have witness holes on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glk21C Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 There a few threads here on be.com about the new generation of sti mags. I don't remember what section it/they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWard79 Posted February 23, 2017 Share Posted February 23, 2017 Atlas Gunworks posted a video on the gen2 STI 40 mags today on Facebook if you are interested in learning more about the differences between the versions. Have no idea when the 9 mags will be readily available through US dealers, but I intend on picking a few up when that becomes a reality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWard79 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 Original STI tubes are the only ones you would need to run spacers in for a 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the 9mm mags won't need the spacer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWard79 Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 From what I've been told, the gen2 mags do not require spacers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wblacksh Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 I ran MBX in my CK open. Plastic grip and steel grip later on. No issues with either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JWard79 Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 The only mags I would stear away from are the new SVI tubes, everything else should work just fine. The new SVI tubes will require modification to the frame in order to seat properly. I remember a few posts in Enos discussing this fact. MBX & STI tubes are known good quantities, & I would not hesitate in recommending either for an STI spec frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
