MPX Mag couplers

[BD Williamson]

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

Define what you mean by 'mag couplers'. USPSA rules for PCC prohibits magazine couplers.

[racerba]

he said no sideXside - so i think he means a mag extension?

[MikieM]

Or, perhaps, a mag splice.

[BD Williamson]

MikieM yes I am looking for a Aluminum Mag Splice not a side x side coupler. USPSA legal device!

Plastic on plastic, aluminum maybe over kill IMHO

[TRUBL]

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.

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

So Brian, that was on a cool spring day?

I guess you screwed up then........we've been down south, had no issues. I personally would not keep ANY magazine out in the sun anywhere much less on truck.

Or your pool cue, for that matter.

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.

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.

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

[BD Williamson]

Thanks Eric I will give Robin a call! 50-55 will work and hopefully they are aluminum!
