BD Williamson Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Anybody seen any mag couplers for the MPX 30rd mags? I know Taccom has his best on the planet unit but I was looking for other options mainly made out of Aluminum! NO SIDE x SIDE please Thanks Link to comment
MikieM Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Define what you mean by 'mag couplers'. USPSA rules for PCC prohibits magazine couplers. Link to comment
racerba Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 he said no sideXside - so i think he means a mag extension? Link to comment
MikieM Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Or, perhaps, a mag splice. Link to comment
BD Williamson Posted February 1, 2018 Author Share Posted February 1, 2018 MikieM yes I am looking for a Aluminum Mag Splice not a side x side coupler. USPSA legal device! Link to comment
427Cobra Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Plastic on plastic, aluminum maybe over kill IMHO Link to comment
TRUBL Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 there is no aluminum splice on the market....just the TACCOM one. If you have an aluminum one or solid plastic and you fall.....you will break things. The TACCOM splice, will give, not come off unless you take a nasty spill. They work.....and if they don't work it's because you either tightened it too much or your springs are weak.......period. Link to comment
BD Williamson Posted February 3, 2018 Author Share Posted February 3, 2018 Tim your plastic stuff does not work in the Arizona Summers. I have had the PCC mag wells fail and melt together when left in the truck on a 100 degree day Link to comment
Neomet Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 So Brian, that was on a cool spring day? Link to comment

I personally would not keep ANY magazine out in the sun anywhere much less on truck. Link to comment
MikieM Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Or your pool cue, for that matter. Link to comment

Neomet Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Tim, I think you misread the post. It says they were in the truck, not on the truck. You can put metal mags anywhere in the sun on a 120 degree day. You probably won't be able to pick them up without welder's gloves, but that is a different issue. Link to comment

Ya your right Tim I would be screwing up just like you would if I put a mag on my truck hood and just drove around waiting until your plastic fantastic mag well melted to the hood! But the fact is on a 100 to 110 degree day in AZ the interior temps reach over 150F sometimes. When I store my gun in the gun bag in the back seat of my truck and stop on the way home from work to practice or do what ever with the gun I expect the plastic parts to be intact and not be so soft that they fall off the gun when removing from the soft case in the back seat of my truck. At this they wont stay on the gun any more as its so deformed at this point that it goes into the garbage can. I never had a Magpul plastic part deform as its in the same bag on the gun with your magwell etc... Quality parts are tested to work in all environments not just in 80 degree heat and lower. BTW I have been shooting bottom feed shotguns for years with 2 Plastic mags coupled together with a Aluminum Coupler and never had a issue with the sun or with dropping it on the ground during reloads So I guess the MBX extensions really are overkill too as Aluminum to plastic is overkill. I wish MBX made a extension for the MPX mags as there stuff has proven to be a winner so far with the Glock mags. Link to comment
Aircooled6racer Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Brian: Taylor Freelance have a +20 base pad coming out for the MPX. It should give you 50-55 rounds with the 30 round magazine. Maybe an option for you. Thanks, Eric Link to comment
BD Williamson Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 Thanks Eric I will give Robin a call! 50-55 will work and hopefully they are aluminum! Link to comment
